Twyla's Phone Calls: A Case Study Of Serial Killers

A friend of mine, Twyla Johnson, of Des Moines, Iowa needs your help. Twyla 's sister was murdered in 1975. No one has ever been held accountable for this murder.

The police chief that was in office in 1975 was said to be a friend of the man that ordered this murder. Is this police department corrupt and if so how far does this
