100 Words a Day 1046


An old man with a dog stumbled upon the body in the spring when the pooch pulled him off the well-used trail they were taking. The autopsy suggested the boy had died midwinter. And that coincided with the missing persons report his family had filed. The body had been worried at by a few animals, probably once the snow started to melt. The missing kitchen knife was underneath the body, dried, dark blood on the edge. There was no evidence of kidnapping or an attacker and the boy had a history of depression. The police concluded it was a suicide.
