Jennifer, friends and family of Mark,

As promised, here are copies of the correspondence I received from Mark over the course of the last month. For the most part, I have merely copied and pasted them from my email application.

As you'll read, he requested this, in hopes that you'll better understand why he did what he did.

I made this site because it's the most efficient way to share Mark's emails with all of you. I'm not advertising this to anyone. But I do think it would be wise to pass this URL along to anyone who may help with the investigation. As I collect more information, from various sources, I'll update this site to keep it an accurate record. I'll have that link at the end of the series as well.

If you need to speak with me, Jen has my number. Thank you for your patience, and again, I am profoundly sorry.

- Eric

Eric,

Hey man. It's Mark from Houston. The Saturday night gang. Feels like a long long time ago, doesn't it? I found your email from your website, looks like you're out in LA now, cool. I remember telling you, you should be out there, doing the California thing. You still with Connie? I'm in Dallas now, I met someone who works in my building, we've been seeing each other for two years now.

Listen, the reason I'm writing to you out of the blue is because I got this newspaper article in the mail. Maybe you got one too. It's about Andrew. You remember Drew? Travis would pick him up most of the time. Messy hair. Sort of the fanboy type. I didn't remember his last name until I got this thing, and now it's really disturbing me.

Do you know what happened? Did you hear about it already?

Let me know if you have some time to talk. I can call you or you can call me if that works better. I'm going to see if I can track down Travis and Dave. A quick search didn't seem to turn up any leads, but maybe they just don't have websites. If you still talk to either of them, let me know.

Thanks,
Mark

Eric,

Thanks for quick reply. I didn't mean to sound cryptic in my first email, I'm just... Reluctant I guess. I hadn't really seen or thought about Andrew since he stopped showing up for game night, and that was five years ago. That was about the time we all went our own ways, back in 1999. You moved out west, I moved up to Dallas, etc. So when I got this article in my mailbox, it caught me by surprise.

And yeah, I'll transcribe the thing for you. I wasn't sure if maybe you were the one who sent it to me. I'll put it into this email, at the bottom.

> I remember him. He was never the kid with the idea, he was

> laughed the longest.

That's Andrew in a nutshell yeah, at least that's how I remember him. He got on my nerves sometimes, but damn if he didn't love being part of the gang. He'd ask me for some poker chips on card night, or borrow dice from my bag, that sort of thing. Whenever we played Tecmo Bowl on your Nintendo he always wanted to be on my team. Which would've been fine if he was any good.
