Greg Siner was walking about the grounds when he “noticed a stench as he walked by the septic tank of his ambling old Victorian home” (Press). He looked in only to see a skeleton floating in the waste. This skeleton was the remains of Camilla Lyman. She had been shot in the head and thrown in the septic tank, weighted with cinder blocks. No one knows who killed Cam, but the most likely suspect is George O’Neil, her groundskeeper and ‘friend.’ He inherited her fortune, and possibly, that could have been the motive. Camilla was certainly eccentric, but I admire her for her courage; she wasn’t afraid to be herself and do what she loved. It reflects so negatively on society that at first, the story was a major concern, and once the case hit a wall, no one cared. Society is an impatient child, who quickly gets bored and frustrated with a challenge. I hope someday, someone solves her murder mystery, she deserves to have her case closed. If only some small discovery could be made, something to spark interest, to put her back in the spotlight, then maybe, with today’s technology, a conclusion could be
