A few months ago, she rented a backhoe to dig up the landfill where Keester Shortridge said he dumped the bloody sheets. For her effort, she was rewarded with a 1-ft. by 2- ft. swatch of the sheet. She has not only lobbied the press for coverage, but has waged a letter-writing campaign to Virginia lawyers, entreating them...
