Missing From Her Bed
Darkness entered their lives.
The Burr family lived in Tacoma Washington at 3009 North 14th Street on the North End. Donald and Beverly had four children by the name of Ann (9), Julie (7), Mary (3), and Gregory (5). On August 30th, 1961, Donald and Beverly put their children to bed at 8 PM. Ann and Mary had a shared bedroom on the second floor upstairs and Julie and Gregory shared a bedroom in the basement. To round this family off they had a cocker spaniel dog who was an inside pet.
Little Mary had a broken arm and in the early morning hours Mary woke Ann up crying. Ann made her way down to her parents’ first floor bedroom and woke up her mom. Beverly took Ann back upstairs and soothed Mary. She told them both to go back to sleep and went back to bed downstairs on the first floor.
Around 5:30 AM Beverly discovered her daughter Ann missing from her bed. Police were called when they found the front door ajar and the living room window open with the bench under it flipped over. The bench came from the back yard. They noticed prints outside on the ground that looked like a size 6 shoe imprint. Though it was raining outside, and the prints were incomplete. Their beloved pet never barked.
