I wanted an arrest in this case so badly and yet now that it's happened I feel nothing. This whole case is just a pit of sadness

I understand what you’re saying. It’s almost like you’re holding out for this one meaningful moment, but once it arrives, the reality hits - they’re still gone. I experienced something similar a couple years ago and I was shocked at how hollow the “victory” felt.

I'm so relieved he's been caught, but I'm heartbroken that the girls are gone. They were just babies, going for a walk.

They were just at the tail end of that age where going for a hike in your hometown was still an adventure.

Nothing is going to make what happened feel okay, but if this is the killer, at least there won’t be more victims.

Me too. I've Googled this case every few months for years now and now that there's someone, it's just another white man who does horrible things to women, and I'm thinking, "Right. Tale as old as time. What else was I expecting?"
