Silas Crow : Up till that day, what was always told about Little Margaret was the funny story of how she got her name. Her family's got 12 kids and I guess at the hospital, her Dad forgot they already had a Margaret, and called her Margaret too. But they won't tell that anymore; Little Margaret's got a different story now. You know, the only other time I saw anyone dead was when Joe Buffalo died. He was in a box and looked like he was sleeping. But Little Margaret was murdered and her eyes were wide open when we found her.
