Steak and Ale, Addison, Texas


Some have asked if it's possible to see better quality/higher resolution images of the landmarks shown in the book.

Here is a photograph of the former Steak and Ale at Belt Line Road and Sakowitz Drive, where Stacie Madison and Susan Smalley were last seen in the early morning hours of March 20, 1988.

Please note that this building still exists in 2010 but, since the corporate entity filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 7 in 2008, it is no longer a Steak and Ale.

Psychics

Since the release of This Night Wounds Time in November 2009, several people have raised the question of whether or not psychics were consulted in regard to the disappearances of Stacie Madison and Susan Smalley.

I do not mention psychics in my book, but the answer to this question is yes.

This truth is found in the August 19, 2001 edition of The Dallas Morning News in which, in the article entitled "Vanished Without a Trace: 13 Years After Teens Disappeared, Families Still Wait, Wonder," author Michael Granberry writes, "With nothing else to go on, Carrollton police listened intently to several psychics..."

I'm told that the services of these individuals in 1988 proved to be a waste of time and resources. Therefore, to those persons intent on raising this possibility in 2010, I offer that it is a very safe bet that this is an avenue the Carrollton Police Department is not interested in exploring again.
