It was a typical winter night, cold, had several inches of snow on the ground from a fresh snowfall the day before. My name is Trooper William Holmes. I was one of the investigators in the Miriam Ellis homicide. This particular investigation was probably a little more involved than most of the cases we do. The killer entered this pipe from the other side of the roadway.

The rifle that the killer used was altered to fit to a homemade silencer. We had no way of knowing how long he spent here before he had the opportunity to take a shot. A kitchen window was the only window in the residence that did not have the drapes drawn. And he waited for Miriam to walk in front of the window. There was one shot fired that killed the victim.

On the night of the murder, to get to Miriam's residence, the killer came down this embankment and through this pipe so as not to be seen from the road. Proceeded through the pipe underneath the street. And once he got out of the pipe, he continued in this stream bed towards the rear of the victim's house. He would have came out of the creek bank here.
