Twenty-Two Years of Hell

In 2016, news networks both locally and nationally, and social media reported a sighting of my beautiful angel in the state of Ohio. Three seasons (8 months) after the nation mourned the 9 -11 attacks, another tragedy struck in the midwestern area of the country. The location was Milwaukee Wisconsin, and the victim was a little 7-year-old girl named Alexis S. Patterson, my daughter. It's sad when something like this happens anywhere, but when Alexis went missing, it triggered a city-wide manhunt.

The suspect pool was anyone living in the city of Milwaukee. Law enforcement presumptuously stated that, "Anyone blood related, or that is close to the person, is a chief suspect." However, the leading suspect was a man deeply entangled in the dark elements of the criminal underworld. It is a man who has been overlooked for years, but I knew better than to do that.
