My Mom Didn't Know I Was Dead

The day of Ashley Reed's wedding, my mom got a call from the police department.

A dismembered female body had been pulled from the river.

The killer was already arrested, and the head had been identified, but no one knew who the body belonged to.

The media swarmed the police station, desperate to know whose body it was.

"Do you want to know? She's the daughter of your most brilliant forensic expert's acquaintance."

The killer licked his lips, a chilling smile spreading across his face.
