Connected by Fate by LaDonna Humphrey of Arkansas

Connected by Fate is book written by LaDonna Humphrey of Arkansas. This book is all about the unresolved murder of Melissa Witt.

Connected by Fate unfolds against the haunting backdrop of the Ozark National Forest, where the unresolved murder of Melissa Witt has cast a long shadow over the dense woodlands for almost three decades. The mystery, woven into the fabric of the remote mountaintop, has become a part of the lore of the land, with the true identity of the murderer eluding capture, concealed by the forest’s imposing presence.

Enter LaDonna Humphrey, driven by a profound sense of justice and a personal commitment to uncovering the truth, despite never having met Melissa Witt. LaDonna’s connection to the case transcends the ordinary, fueling her with a relentless determination that has defined her life for almost a decade.

LaDonna’s investigation is a riveting narrative of courage, resilience, and an unwavering pursuit of truth in the face of overwhelming odds. Each breakthrough and setback, each clue unearthed and lead followed, draws her deeper into a web of intrigue that extends far beyond the initial crime.

Connected by Fate is more than a true crime story; it’s a testament to the power of human spirit and determination fueled by the knowledge that solving Melissa’s murder is not just about bringing a killer to justice — it’s about restoring dignity to a life cut tragically short, and offering closure to a community haunted by the specter of an unsolved crime.

Connected by Fate is a non-fiction true crime account by LaDonna Humphrey. In December 1994, Melissa Ann Witt was abducted and her body was found in early 1995. The case has remained unsolved but has not been forgotten in Arkansas. LaDonna joined Detectives J. C. Rider and Chris Boyd to investigate the murder case that has intrigued them for years. Many people, including Sandy Jones, a crazy informer, contacted them with fictitious stories.

However, other persons claiming to be Melissa’s friends caught the investigative team’s attention, as well as the letter of a man’s name in Melissa’s diary. The bodies of more murder victims found in national parks also convinced the authorities that it was a serial killing.

“Proverbs 28:1: The wicked flee when none pursueth” — Chris Boyd, Major (Retired). LaDonna Humphrey’s Connected by Fate aroused my curiosity. The author has invested time and effort to assist Rider and Boyd find Melissa Witt’s killer. Becoming impatient and sometimes emotional about this seemed to make LaDonna more determined to help the lawmen, and a notebook kept on the case is often perused.

It’s so hard to believe that the victim was only forty-five steps away from Bowling World. Although no visual material or interviews are included, LaDonna’s writing is easy to comprehend with sufficient detailed information about what transpired. If you like reading true crime stories or murder mysteries and don’t mind the graphic details, then you’ll find Connected by Fate by LaDonna Humphrey as interesting as I did.

They are old ladies! Only one of them looks like one! They kiled multiple people Agnes called Gertrude her anchor!!

Also, consider that Agnes knows Gertude way before she become what Sasha called a stone cold bitch- she was just a human

I think a really fun idea to explore with Tim would be the idea of him having Hyperthymesia.

Hyperthymesia is an ability that allows people to recall almost every event of their life in great detail. It's extremely rare and honestly doesn't have that much research done on it, but recent studies have suggested that people with this ability are limited to autobiographical memories, people with HSAM sometime tend to show symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and may demonstrate obsessive tendencies.

I think it would be an interesting way to explain why Tim was able to recall his first meeting with Dick Grayson and connect the dots to seeing Robin. Tim does display a lot of obsessive behaviours, and while he doesn't really physically display compulsion (like someone with OCD would typically display) there certainly is a strong case to be made for him potentially having it.

But also, can you imagine how fucking horrible it would be for Tim to remember each and every traumatic thing that ever happens to him as a hero and those memories just never fading. Yes, it would make him a better detective and allow him to be arguably smarter than your average joe, but at what cost?

“Were you trained as a dancer?” “An acrobat. My whole family are acrobats.” // “Some people see a magic trick and say, ‘Impossible!’ They clap their hands, turn over their money, and forget about it ten minutes later. [..] And then there are the ones who stay awake, running through the trick again and again, looking for that skip in perception, the crack in the illusion that will explain how their eyes got duped; they’re the kind who won’t rest until they’ve mastered that little bit of mystery for themselves. I’m that kind.”

Or: a kinder universe.

First full day in London seems to be turning into a Good Omens themed day. Made it to the bench in St. James Park, and while I don't condone graffiti, I love whoever wrote this on it...

Kinda obsessed with the historical context of Rise of the Guardians. Pitch wanting the Dark Ages to come back, which historically was the decline of culture and records. The Guardians rose at the same time as the Renaissance with the rise of culture, knowledge, and science. (Tooth in particular mentions that she hasn’t been out in the field for 440 years, give or take, which would put that smack dab in the middle of the Renaissance) 

The way Pitch doesn’t want the world to change, the way the Guardians change in tune with the world. The way Jack, who lived in has a human in the 17th or 18th century, who lived in the time after the Renaissance and lived witnessing the world all the way to the modern era, is there to show the Guardians how much they missed and how they can further change and improve for the more modern world. These characters are immortal beings who have so much power over the world, it makes so much sense that when they fall and rise in power it impacts the world that they want to influence, for better or for worse.

something interesting i realized while on the vessel-making screen in the deltarune introduction is that it's physically impossible to make kris: there is no hair that perfectly matches theirs (none have the cowlick or the right jagged shape on the bottom), and there is no sweater that perfectly matches theirs (none have a single stripe). this is fascinating, as it perhaps suggest that, if we (the player) had a choice, we *wouldn't* make kris. they aren't something we want, or are even capable of wanting, rather something we're stuck with.

and i suppose the fact that they can't be *created* as a vessel is telling, because we didn't create kris -- they weren't made for us, they're not a player avatar. they're a pre-existing person we just happen to gain possession of.

we weren't made for each other; they don't want us, and we don't seem to want them either (if the inability to choose to create someone like them says anything); funny, then, that in a way we're "soulmates"...
