I’ve nothing after 11,860 days

except

papers in 

the file folder from 

the file cabinet

 

initial newspaper report

Algiers Point

Bermuda Street

day after newspaper details

co-workers’

neighbors’

reluctance

 

death certificate 

a letter from me to him and Steve

a letter to him from Sam

postmarked

11,860 days ago

 

police department contact info

a list of names

phone numbers

somebody might know things

handwritten notes

police conversations 

detective inquiries 

 

11,860 days

nothing
