Sarah Wrightwood was a good girl. She was a straight A student. Friendly with everyone she knew. Wouldn't even hurt a fly. Her smile would brighten so many people's day. She was the perfect person. Someone who had a bright future ahead of her. A natural born leader. Someone to bring change. The good kind of change. Sarah Wrightwood is dead.
September 2nd, 1978 was the day Frankie Hart found her body. Frankie wasn't a very bright kid at all. He was slow and what they liked to call "the local retard". Frankie's mother Tammy Ann was a major alcoholic. She drank till the bottle was empty each day. Frankie was just another bump in her life. He went to live with his uncle Jack up in the trailer park. Jack was a real piece of shit. He was a con man of sorts. He would scam old woman in to buying useless products. He was arrested back in 76' when Frankie was 15. Frankie went back to his mother, who beat him constantly. Yet he still had the same cheery attitude as always. He was very kind to the people around him. That's why what he found was so haunting.
Frankie was walking alone in the woods to his happy spot where he would sit and talk to himself. On thé way down, he notice a dark red liquid dripping from above onto his favourite rock. He touched the liquid and he let out the last word he would ever speak. He looked up and found Sarah. Her stomach was cut from left to right, flayed open. She had bruises all over her body and she was naked. He Arms were formed in an open wing like shape, and the one thing she had on a was a white vale draped over her wounded head. Frankie backed away and immediately started to scream, let out to sounds of a wild animal. Luckily for him, Cameron Johnson, the oldest Johnson boy, found him whaling. He let out a gasp, and threw up almost immediately after. He carried Frankie back to his green rusted Chevy LUV and drove to the police station. After around an hour of explaining, The whole force headed down to the woods.
What they found got worse and worse. On a near my rock they found parts of Sarah's brain smeared into it. That image was burned into each and everyone's brain that day. The smell was horrible. It rotted so bad that you could barely breath at all. The worst thing that was found was location hanging on a tree the body. At first it looked to be some kind of organ, but after a closer look, they noticed it was a fetus. That was the hardest part to deal with. It took nearly 27 hours to clear up the crime scene. During those 27 hours the strangest thing happened.
At 11:37 PM that night, Sarah's mother Emily Wrightwood and her father, Jack Wrightwood, entered the police station with Sarah's boyfriend Derek Bateman. They confessed to the murder of Sarah. They showed proof in the form of a photo of her body, one of her teeth and an audio recording of her last breath. It was evident that they had committed the crime. They were shortly arrested and put on trial for the murder. The two adults were sentenced to live in prison without the possibility of parole and Derek was sentenced to 30 years in prison with the possibility of parole. During the whole trial they stayed silent, never giving one reason as to why they did it. It was an unanimous vote. The jury decided within 20 minutes. They were all sent to prison where, the parents died in 1998 and 2005. In 2008 Derek was finally released from prison. He was a model prison, he was helpful, and respected by most. He was an all around good person. In 2009 he moved back to his hometown of Marlins, Vermont, where 3 days after he returned he was shot dead.
