Open Letter to My Friend who Tried to Kill Me
Five years we shared a close friendship, five years of my life I trusted you. We had our rocky times. Just like any friends we had our disagreements. Yet as I grew in those years, you decided to destroy yourself in every way you could. Ying and yang was what we were, while I was light you were dark. Everyone around us always wondered how the two of us became friends, or how I even stuck around for as long as I did. I brushed off the comments. I ignored people's worry because I swore I knew you better. I was always the one to turn the other way at gossip, never one to listen to rumors, just wasn't my style.

However, even cases that have long gone cold may not be hopeless: With the progression of forensic technology, especially new data on DNA testing, familial DNA procedures, and more recently, evidence from formerly cold cases can be used to find murderers and rapists, years after they seemed to have gotten away with it.
