All that's been found so far, at any rate. And I, who understood her as well as anyone can claim to, simply cannot figure out what could have happened ... except that there must be some as-yet-unsuspected player in her murder. Not just Sammie, not just her killer, but some other, unseen element that brought them together under the fatal circumstances. I suspect that ...
