Author's Comment:

With over 2,000 jurors, the verdict is now stable. And so the verdict of the Cold Case Jury is being delivered: Ronald Light most likely got away with murder. It is a majority decision. What is beyond reasonable doubt, according to the Cold Case Jury, is that Light was involved in Bella's death. Indeed, it is clear that today Ronald Light would be found guilty of at least manslaughter by a jury of his peers.

R.I.P. Bella.

I wish to thank everyone who has voted so far and for their generous feedback on the book.

Antony M. Brown, 5 July 2019, the 100th anniversary of her tragic death.
