This is my father's story. As a child my father was a paper boy and he would get up very early in the morning to deliver them. My father would always end up with a few extra papers so at the end of his route he would offer papers to other early birds leaving for work and whatnot.

On this day my father offered a man who was sitting a parked van. The man just stared at my dad and didn't respond so my dad just went on his way. As my dad was walking away he heard a car door open and the sound of feet hitting pavement. He turned around and saw the man running after him. My dad was very athletic in his day. He played basketball and baseball. So he took off running.

The man chased him for a bit but my dad knew the neighborhood like the back of his hand and cut through backyards and hopped fences. He eventually lost the man and got home safely. He didn't tell his parents because he figured they would make him quit.

A few weeks passed by and two local boys went missing and their bodies were found at a campground. They were raped and then shot in the head. The man who committed the awful crime was William J. Wright. When my father saw him in the newspapers he recognized him as the man who chased him.
