Death in a CLOSET

I am participating in the Blogging from A-Z Challenge again this year. What is this mysterious blogging challenge you ask? Arlee Bird from Tossing it Out came up with this fantastic idea where bloggers post using consecutive letters of the alphabet for 26 days in April. It grew in numbers, and Arlee now has many helpers. To view other participates of the A-Z event click here.

Odd deaths happen, right? It’s sort of like being at the right place at the right wrong time. My A-Z 2016 blogging journey takes us down the road of Death by Oddity. Come join me.

C = Death in a CLOSET

On March 3, 1957 and only two blocks away from her home, four year old Mary Jane Barker was found dead, in a closet, of another house. When the closet door was opened, her dog rushed out. Some believed she had starved to death; others believed she was murdered. Newspaper clipping here. 

Any other parent out there as disturbed about this as I am? What do you really think happened to this little girl? Foul play? And why was the doggy still alive?
