Chapter 59 Chapter Fifty-nine

• That same afternoon, we received the devastating news that some passersby walking along a trail had found the lifeless body of a woman. The police contacted Adeleth's mother, and the descriptions matched the characteristics she had provided in her report. Dexter, filled with anguish and desperation, headed to the location to confirm the terrible truth.
• Upon arrival, Dexter faced the tragic reality that it was Adeleth's body. His heart shattered into a thousand pieces as he witnessed the cruelty of her fate. She had been violated and strangled; according to the coroner, she had fought for her life.
• Sofia covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes wide with shock and dismay as she exclaimed, "Oh, God, the poor girl must have suffered terribly before she died."
