A dismembered body of a woman was discovered in a XXXX, XXX Park, XXXX. So surreal was the scene that the woman who discovered the body, Betty Bersinger, initially thought that she had come upon a severed mannequin. The body was completely drained of blood and had seemingly been washed. And the face had been slashed from mouth to ear.

The upper and lower parts of the body were placed a foot away from each other and were posed. The hands were placed over her head, the elbows bent, and the legs spread. The intestines were tucked under the buttocks.

After the authorities were called, the body was identified as May Lothar, later known as the "Marilyn Doof," a 22-year-old aspiring actress who had been dating a married salesman.

Six days after the gruesome discovery, on January 21, the editor of the City console , James Bailey , received an anonymous call. The caller told Bailey to expect "souvenirs"

On January 24, a curious envelope was discovered by a XXXXX Postal Service worker. The envelope was addressed to "The Xxxxxx Examiner and other XXXXX papers." The letter contained May's birth certificate, photos, and other personal belongings.

On January 26, another letter came. It said "Here it is. Turning in Wednesday , 29, 10 am. I had my fun with police. Marilyn Doof Avenger." The note included the location where the killer would supposedly show up. The police waited patiently, but to their dismay, the killer never showed. That same day another note was sent. "I jave changed my mind. You would not give me a square deal. "Marilyn killing was justified"

Over the years, the police have questioned countless suspects and self-confessed Marilyn Doof killers. However, to this day, Marilyn Doof's murderer has not been found.

The case was never solved.
