In april of 1992 my cousin Melissa was murdered.....44 dollars is what the theif had run off with. For years my family has prayed and asked for anyone with information to come forward and help us solve this case.....Nothing till recently when Louis Cervantes Salazar confessed to the killing an hour before he was to be executed for another murder. I am not sure what to feel right now there is closure yes...but I wanted to see him I wanted to ask him why did he tear my family apart that faithful easter back in 1992......why he could have tied her up locked her somewhere and taken the money why did he have to kill her. Though the confession does bring some comfort I am not sure what to feel as I am mixed right now over many things. Why do people do this why murder why commit crimes. Crime will always be here and I am hoping that one day people dont have to suffer like this. I truely am.....I just wish it wouldnt be this way.....I dont know what else to write....but will link the stories ...that have haunted my family for years.....and have left a void where non should be.

Rest in Peace Melissa and watch over your sisters and family always.

I hope Louis Cervantes Salazar finds peace for he will have to answer to the Lord and I am hoping he can atone for what he has done as I dont wish him or anyone ill will.
