The Caretaker Letter

Murt thought it would be hysterical to write a caretaker letter for the person who had abducted Trenton Duckett.  He spent weeks on the true crime forums posting countdown dates until January 12, which he stated was the date that Trenton would be returned to his loved ones.  How does one even begin to explain the unnecessary trauma and heartache that was caused by William Murtaugh to this family?  Why would anyone lie to the family of a missing child or to those who were following the case using false hopes all because this madman wanted to get attention for himself.  Below is the Caretaker Letter that Murt posted and what eventually resulted in Mike DeForest coming to his home to interview and ask him what inside information he had.  To which Murt exclaimed that he had no inside information and was only posting it because he thought it would draw out the abductor.  It was "ill advised" and Murt will use this excuse years later after his involvement in the Caylee Anthony case.

The Angry Giant

The Angry Giant
Essay by Murt


"I fear all we have done is awaken an angry Giant and fill him with a terrible resolve."

It is the future, days weeks, months, perhaps years have passed..

It is evening and the adult is getting ready to watch the spelling game when the little boy walks in, his sub-conscience sound asleep dreaming the mind pictures the little boy is sending him, the happy, carefree thoughts of a young child at play.

The child liked the spelling game, it had a big wheel made funny noises.
The tv had a picture of three people behind a podium that had big numbers on them. Each of the people would spin the big wheel and it would make the noise. There was another man who did a lot of talking and a pretty girl that would stand in front of boxes that would spell different words on them. The people behind the pidiums would spin the big wheel with numbers and some words he did not understand on it.

The talking man said "The next catagory is a name." and the bright square boxes came onto the tv.

The man said to a lady behind one of the podiums that she was first and the lady spun the big wheel. It made the wirry clicky noises as it went around and around going slower and slower untill it stopped on a number
3 with three zeros after it. "Give me a T" the lady said.

The pretty lady waved her hands at the spelling boxes as three boxes lit up "you have 3 t's" the talking man said as the t's appeared in the three lighted boxes. The boy giggled. He liked the noises the boxes made when each letter appeared.

In the recess of his mind, the giant stirred, something was disturbing his sleep. The giant would stirr when something bothered it. There was the time the adult was looking at a sign on the wall of the big store they went to to get food and things. The adult had a scared look and the child looked at the sign to see why the adult was scared. He saw himself in a picture on the sign. "Me" he said aloud, and the giant had stirred.
"No, the adult said, not you. " and led the boy away. After a long long time, the giant went asleep and forgot about the sign.
