Lindsay Ann Hawker's killer caught

This is kind of a sad story but it's happy news in Japan today. Normally I don't put anything but 'sunshine and butterflies' (so to speak) on this blog but I felt compelled to share pictures of the beautiful Lindsay Ann Hawker, a girl who came to Japan to explore and learn (like many of us) and to share and teach, instead she was murdered by one of her English students (in the same city where we live, less than 10 minutes from our home).

Today her killer was finally arrested after being on the run for 2 years and 7 months. There has been so much focus on the killer, whose name I will not even mention here. This because the only way to catch him has been to constantly keep his ugly mug in the news, and recently his newly remodeled uglier mug (due to plastic surgery he got to conceal his identity). I thought, how sad that Lindsay's life and beautiful face is not what we are all thinking about and seeing today (and lately), because really it is all about HER. So today I post the some pictures of the beautiful young Lindsay Ann. See you in paradise.....

Until then, R.I.P. Ms. Hawker.
