If you’ve ever experienced the
weather in Pennsylvania, then you know how temperamental it can be. Yet, even
when it’s muggy, there could still be a little chill in the air, especially if
it has rained. There was definitely a chill that night I lost my life.
They
found me about 50 feet from Christman Road in Berks County between
Lenhartsville and Virginville off of Route 78. I was found in a gully behind
some brush when a farmer was plowing his cornfield to ready it for soybeans. I had
been there at least 8 months to a year. They know that because of the last time
the fields were plowed for a crop rotation.
I was
wearing a long dark Benetton sweater dress with large white buttons and a long-sleeved,
light-colored pullover top with five buttons down the front, little pleats, and
a small collar. I wore a white vinyl belt cinched around the XL dress because I
was slim and only about 120 to 130 lbs. I stood 5'3" and had short
light-brown hair. I was estimated only to be between 25 and 40 years old. I
still had my whole life ahead of me.
I was
wearing a small digital sport watch with an orange, pink, and yellow plastic
band. They could also tell I was slender because the way my watch was secured
around my small wrist. Maybe I got that as a gift. I loved the bright, happy
colors. I was also wearing a gray metal ring without any stones, and I carried
with me a small dolphin-shaped object that could’ve been a broach or pin that
someone special gave to me. Whoever took my life at least left me with my
personal things.
I was
even found with a cylindrical metallic object that possibly could’ve been the
handle of an umbrella. Was it raining that night? Did I accept a ride so I
wouldn’t have to walk in the rain? Did my vehicle break down? Was I lost and
trying to find my way back home, or was I just there temporarily to enjoy the
lake?
About
two miles uphill from where I was found, there were mushroom houses where
immigrant workers stayed. There was also a recreational lake, Christmas Lake,
with summer homes and bungalows, where families would come and enjoy the
summertime or peace and quiet during the hectic months. Had I planned on
visiting the area for my vacation stay? Was I dumped by someone I knew, or was
I just in the wrong place at the wrong time?
It is
suspected that foul play was involved because some of my bones were not
recovered. They said I had borne at least one child. Do I have children looking
for me? Are they wondering why they can’t find Mom?
