Hi everyone!
I’m not sure if I have permission to do this or not. Some kids named Turner and Jay, and Mr. Moore have all said they’ve done it, but never said if the owner got mad. Not that I care. I’m just here to tell my side. My name is Caty (that’s “Katie” for people who want to know how to say it).
I’ve heard the whole story hasn’t been leaked – I mean told yet, so I’m not sure what exactly I can offer. Phineas is my stepbrother. His mom married my dad. He was I think seven at the time, and I was only two or three. I think. We didn’t always have the best relationship growing up, but we did love each other. It was a lot of big bother/little sister stuff. We’d grown up together from such young ages that the normal step-sibling stuff wasn’t a big deal for us.
I was devastated when I heard the news: Phineas is dead. Killed – murdered, they think. I’m supposed to come help, come look through his things and take trips down Memory Lane I don’t think I’ll ever be ready for. I won’t go into any of the “I told you so” stuff we had been talking about, but I did warn him just like he warned me. I can only wish the police find his killer or killers quickly.
I told them I’d do anything to help. Detective Ellison says my looking through his things will be most helpful. He hasn’t asked for a whole lot, but when I find something that looks odd or important, I pass it along as fast as I can. I really want to help find whoever did this to him.
It’s not just me though. Our sister, our niece and nephew, and all our other family out of state need answers. I just…
I need to be alone for a while. I’m still trying to deal with all this.
