Chapter 3 Kathy Kohm: Jack Harry’s Phone Call



 Chapter 3

   On Monday morning Jack Harry heard on the radio about the little girl who was missing from just down the road.  He thought about that stranger again and called the local authorities. Town Marshall Leo Snyder took the report.  It was among dozens of other reports that he had fielded. He thanked Jack and hung up.  Jack hadn’t seen a little girl but other calls were coming in from people who had.  Each time it would turn out to be a different girl altogether. The search was currently focusing south of town where someone said they had sighted Kathy. But they were finding nothing. He and other searchers were beginning to realize that maybe they were out of their depth.  They were hopeful but so far no one had found anything.  

    This tip about an out of town man who got stuck in the mud didn’t seem related at all.  Nothing was too strange about that. There was no girl with him. 

    Leo Snyder continued directing the searchers and trying to think of what to do next.

Danny Rouse:Serial Killer from Indiana

    Danny Rouse circa 1972 Danny Rouse 2006    I think he liked seeing the damage he had inflicted. I think that might be a central reason why he killed.       After he strangled and stabbed his co-worker, Stephanie Wagner, in 2006; he went to work the very next day. He walked right into that restaurant like nothing was wrong.  I think he wanted to be there to witness the reactions people would have when the calls started coming asking if anyone had seen Stephanie. I think he liked seeing the devastation.    After he shot Nellie Mikesells through her window in the fall of 1974, he broke into her home. He didn’t steal anything. Police theorized at the time that he broke in to see what his bullet had done.    He shot Lela Hildebrandt as she drove by one night in October 1975. The shot to the left side of her face would cause her to veer off the road and total her car. Her injuries were first thought to be ...
