The disappearance of April Tinsley

*** Content warnings: Child victim, sexual assault ***

Authorities were immediately concerned. DNA from the letters matched samples they had stored from an unsolved crime that was committed more than a decade earlier – the murder of eight-year-old April Tinsley.
