HORROR SERIES, BOOK 9
In Book 9 of the Justin Graves Horror Short Story Series, Good Samaritan Jenny Vandenburg
comes to the aid of an African immigrant being beaten and robbed by a couple of
skinheads. One punk pulls a gun, kills the black man and shoots Jenny, condemning her to a wheelchair. American justice put the shooter in jail
for life, but his accomplice gets off on a technicality. He’s out of prison
and back on the streets to wage war for white supremacy, prompting Justin to
return from the grave and teach him a hard lesson in respecting his brothers of
color.
***********
This story
is based on the 1997 racially motivated killing of Oumar Dia, an African
Immigrant at a downtown Denver bus stop , and the crippling of Jeannie Van
Velkinburg. Though the shooter, Nathan Thill, received life in prison, his
accomplice, Jeremiah Barnum, got off on a technicality over tainted testimony.

ROCKY
MOUNTAIN NEWS - July 23, 2002
Staff
writer Jeff Kass contributed to this report.
Just last
week, Jeannie VanVelkinburgh looked to her future, telling a reporter
she was tired of the cycle of despair that followed her paralysis four
and a half years ago.
``I kind
of keep giving up, going, giving up, going,'' she was quoted as saying.
``I ain't going to give up no more.''
But
Monday, in the late-night darkness, VanVelkinburgh, once the city's
heroine for intervening in the skinhead slaying of a West African
immigrant in downtown Denver, apparently gave in.
The
41-year-old mother of two was found dead in her tiny Aurora house in
what police said may have been a suicide. Authorities say they think
VanVelkinburgh, who had spoken of killing herself many times and
attempted to cut herself a year ago, overdosed on Dilaudid, a powerful
painkiller.
An autopsy
and official cause of death is expected today.
VanVelkinburgh's
body was discovered about 12:35 a.m. by her 15-year-old son, who told
police he noticed his mother wasn't breathing when he came out of his
bedroom to eat some cereal.
