Mid-County Post article about Asha Veil

Here is an article from the Mid-County Post (another local paper)about Asha Veil.
I think this article gives a bit more of a "snapshot" of her life. It also gives a more information from the detectives working on this case and what they think
happened to her.

There still has been no arrest directly related to Asha's murder. Asha's coworker, arrested on (unrelated) rape charges, has had his bail upped to $1.5 million dollars, as he has been accused of another rape.

I visited with my friend Mary today for a long time, then came home and started hanging up Halloween lights (silly "candy corn" lights from the local Rite-Aid, green skeleton lights, and pumpkin lights). Mr. Strega and I took a walk tonight in the moonlight, talking a little bit about the case. Halloween is coming and decorations are appearing in the windows of houses, in yards: walking to Mary's, I saw a row of scarecrows on someone's front yard. Summer has slipped under the sill of the year, all the wild bloomings over. And someone who should have been here to see the bigleaf maples turning gold, the pumpkins stacked in front of stores--that person is gone, her much-wanted baby never to be born.

So, for now, a time of waiting for answers, for some resolution to this sad time, if ever there can be one. I have found that sometimes the most powerful thing a person can do is wait, patiently. This time has shown me also that people can be deeply loving and compassionate, one reason I still call the San Lorenzo Valley my home.
