Hope it’s good with you and at least better than here. Serial arson on the menu and counting. As you’re in the quiet, crime-free land of sea and sky, I’d be grateful if you could open this up and let me have your thoughts. The mother wants the case reinvestigated. I am attaching a Zip file of everything re Kimberley Still’s disappearance and ongoing. Also, background to Lee Russon ditto. This has had to go on the back burner as we’re short-handed and the arson plus the usual is occupying everyone. No time for cold cases but Mrs Still doesn’t know that.

It’s pretty clear to me Russon did abduct and murder Kimberley, pretty certain we’ll never prove it. But if there’s anything in here, might just be worth our while interviewing him again. But early days. When are you back? All well here, fires aside. Cat has something new – she’ll tell you. May not work out. I’m ambivalent. Is Sam still there? No word for a few days.

All best, K
