I’ve been reading up on Diane Burks and something that truly stands out to me is the location where she was found. "The Easement" was known as a lovers' lane, and I can't help but wonder about its significance. Could this area have been deliberately chosen by the perpetrator, knowing it was somewhat secluded but also frequented enough that she would be discovered quickly? If the killer was familiar with this spot, it might suggest they had some connection or history with the area. It’s terrifying to think how many lives were affected during that period, not knowing who could be lurking around. My heart goes out to Diane's family and her two kids, who had to grow up without their mother. I hope they find the closure they deserve.

I would like to communicate with you please.

My name is Margarita Burks and I am her oldest daughter and I was 7 when she was murdered. I am now 52 yrs old and I literally only have a few memories of her. I have a story to tell but I’m worried about someone taking my story and not including me in the credits because I have already lost the whole other side of identity. To trust someone to tell my story and get played in any form would just be a nail in the coffin.

Margarita, I’m so sorry for your loss and for how much has been taken from you. Your concern about being erased again makes total sense. If you decide to tell your story, it’s okay to insist on clear agreements: credit, approval over how your words are used, and the right to step back at any time. You deserve care and protection. I agree you need to be careful of who you tell. In the very least maybe write it down somewhere, get it all out. Then release it when you feel ready. In the very least you could talk to a therapist. This has to be so traumatic even years later. There is no expiration to loss like this. I am wishing you well.
