Sal Si Puedes!

by Alberto Palani

Overview

Closing statement at the end of this story: This was June of 2000, two-and-a-half years since the Spaldings disappeared. Nothing more was heard by the residents of Coyote Den, but the New Mexico Crimestoppers finally offered a one-thousand-dollar reward for information leading to the arrest of persons responsible for the murders of six Carbon County residents. The Spaldings were included in this list. This, of course, is fiction because the story is a fictitious rendition of an actual double homicide in New Mexico fifteen years ago that has never been solved. State police told the author that their investigation produced over three hundred pages of circumstantial evidence, but that a trial relying on circumstantial evidence alone would likely result in acquittal for those involved. Police further elaborated that the suspects would be under surveillance the rest of their lives until either hard evidence or a confession arose. When written, the author lived within a few miles from the location where the double homicide occurred.
