Good day,
I ran across this. My soul shook, I just looked at the calendar that shows the date I “ Renee went missing”. My throat became dry. I thought about how I was able to pull that mattress down. I was beating and tired. The stranger used my body like a “ nasty woman” at age five! I had fights with so many nightmares, uncles and boys too old to be sticking their fingers inside me. I would love to share more! I am Sandra. This happened in Chicago Illinois.
