9. Prompt: Which case interested you most from Ch. 2, why?

Thesis: The case the interested me the most was on September 1, 1974 where a skullcap was found by scuba divers and not so far from it a headless, handless female body was found near the bridge over the Sante Fe River. Raymond Stone was accused of her murder and confessed but later retracted his confession. 

Evidence: Raymond disappeared the same time the victim vanished and was later caught. The headless trunk was identified with several surgical scars visible on the torso belonging to a Union County woman who was abducted that past month. She was struck twice by a hammer-like object with other major injuries around her head and torso.

So-what: This case showed much interest to me because there was confusion with the object that was used during the crime which brought up more attention to what would happen to the suspect and what actually happened to the woman. But only to end the case with it being the same suspect in the first place whom's appearance clearly doesn't say murderer for he was "kind-looking".
