The crime solver

Solving the mystery of the burnt old lady
That was found in the woods, off of Riverside drive
Where she went for a walk, didn't come out alive
Finding her charred remains, half of dreadful body

No prints were visible, age hard to determine
Sending a viral note, to search of the missings
Getting some hints and calls, but not one with blessings
Will she be the Jane Doe, tracking down this vermin

Getting the autopsy and noting the stab count
Over sixty of them, across her abdomen
Now getting a great lead, the victim's name omen

Pieces by small pieces, the case starting to mount
The abuse from partner lead to this sad assault
Finding him in hiding and now he's locked in vault

Life lesson

◄ Monsters in closet
