Summary

Fourteen-year-old Bill Comeans was a helper. On the evening of January 7th, 1990, he took coffee to his father (who was working on the family car) and was helping to take down Christmas decorations from the front yard. He was about to walk two doors down his street to pick his sister up from a birthday party and walk her home as well. He never got that chance. Instead, less than an hour later, he was found face-down in the snow. He had been choked with his own scarf. But, this wasn’t the first time such an attack on Billy’s life had happened; years later we are still asking, who could have been targeting Billy and why? Codex Labs Offer:Do you suffer from eczema?

0:00.0	We have got a wonderful podcast to recommend to you this week.
0:04.1	They use their platform to advocate for victims and to fight for justice.
0:09.4	I can't say enough good things about them.
0:12.9	So if you want to support them like we do, check out and follow their pod.
0:16.7	Here's a little bit about the show itself.
0:18.7	A nefarious nightmare is a true crime podcast focusing
0:21.9	on lesser known crimes and crimes against those deemed extra vulnerable. Every now and then,
0:26.8	we cover more well-known crimes due to the fact that it is relevant or even interesting regarding
0:31.9	the cases we cover. And the B is a symbol for all victims as we recognize their strength,
0:37.4	resilience, and vulnerability.
0:39.7	So join us. You can find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or just about any podcast platform.
0:46.0	Remember, when you mess with the bees, you get the hive.
0:52.3	Condolences are hard. When someone loses a loved one, it's hard to express the pain we feel for their brokenheartedness.
1:00.2	To convey the empathy, we understand because we, too, no loss, but we don't want to minimize their suffering in that moment either.

1:21.0	Further, what do you say to someone who loses a loved one unexpectedly? I'm sorry for your loss seems predictable, overused, insufficient.
1:33.4	But I know when I say it, I mean it in the way poet Donna Ashworth describes in her poem
1:40.3	entitled, Sorry for Your Loss. It reads as follows. When I say, sorry for your loss,
1:49.5	it may sound perfunctory, trite even, but what I mean is, I'm sorry that you wake in the night
1:57.9	gasping for breath, heart racing and agony. I'm sorry that you will
2:03.9	know a lifetime of what ifs and could have beens. I am sorry that you ache for one more minute
