The call came in 2 Hours Ago
I was wondering why my phone was ringing. At 6am.
A caller whom I had saved a few weeks ago under a 3 letter initial. I had a feeling I knew what the call was about but in 20 years I was loosing hope.
Me:Hello
Him: Good morning Miss (my name) I’m sorry to disturb you this early. I wanted to call and let you know that we Arrested (my rapist) this morning. I thought you might want to know.
Me: Oh My God.
The person on the other line was a Detective that was assigned my case very recently.
My case had been undisturbed for over a decade. I was the one to make the wheel start turning.
The emotions I’m feeling are unexplainable.
I called my father to let him know. He was happy. He called me shortly after about a news report. The name and time match up. The uncertainty is that with an arrest a death might’ve occurred in the process.
I can’t vent to many people. My own siblings have no clue what occurred to me as a child.
If you feel as though so much time has passed that nothing is getting done. It might be worth to make the call. Follow up. See if there’s any movement.
In my case the ball had been dropped and my case wasn’t on anyone’s “Radar”
Thank you for hearing me out. I’m still crying sporadically.
