Missus Reezer's Apartment Burned to the Ground
The last time 67 year old widow, missus mary reezer, was seen alive was on july first, 19 51. Only her left foot remained intact, still wearing a slipper burnt off at the ankle, but otherwise undamaged. Her body had been reduced almost completely to ashes.
