Retrieved 13 November 2020.A couple of days after the sisters' deaths, police dropped Cummins as a suspect and turned their attentions instead to the other four men who had been on the bridge that night. They were: Clemons; Marlin Gray (executed in 2005); Antonio Richardson (currently serving life imprisonment after his death sentence was commuted); and Daniel Winfrey (the only white man among the four, who turned witness for the prosecution and was given a deal under which he received a lesser sentence; he was released in 2007 on parole). I really wish it’s a dream. I hope I will wake up sometime later and find you sitting beside me and smiling. I want you to wake me up from this nightmare. Since the beginning, you’ve been a warrior. Until the very end, a survivor. No words are enough to express my gratitude for all you’ve done for me. Mom, rest in peace.

The execution of Richardson is stayed by the US Supreme Court, and Tom eventually learns to let go of his fixation with the killers and of his own guilt. He becomes an attorney and grows up, finally free of the trauma that has tormented him. My dearest uncle, I still fondly recall your positive approach to life. Death may have taken you away from us, but you’ll always remain alive in our hearts. Rest in peace. I am a somewhat-abashed fan of true crime. I read it a lot – more than “a lot” if I’m being honest – but am forever questioning the allure. Part of it, I think, is that it allows people living a safe, stab-free existence to peek at the dark side of the soul. It’s the same compelling need that allows local newscasts to exist.
