...sight of Drew biking in military fatigues. "He was always wearing camo clothing and talking about hunting and shooting targets," says neighbor Debbie Wilson. Hunting gear isn't uncommon in Jonesboro, but some parents were nevertheless wary of Drew, who was known to horse around with a hunting knife strapped to his side. "I didn't allow my Jenna to play with him," says neighbor Lloyd Brooks. "He was too rowdy...

Take for example the image of a young black girl lording over a kneeling woman, possibly her mistress. The girl appears to be pinching the woman's nose while holding some knife or saw to her throat. The characters are so finely drawn that we can make out the contour of the girl's toenail, but though we see one foot we're unsure of where the other falls. Similarly, we can't determine the relationship of blade to neck, the difference between "grazing" and "penetrating" so important to the woman's life and our understanding.
