September 11, 2023, is a somewhat foggy day, the perfect weather for a run in my opinion. As I run towards this unknown location, I listened to my favorite songs; once I reached the ac, I decided to allow myself to be more aware of my surroundings, so I took my headphones off and let my ears listen to the breeze against the trees, my feet against the concrete and the cars passing by, the further I get from campus the less safe I feel, even though I\u2019ve been living in campus for a few weeks I only feel some sense of security and protection on campus. Rice Rips Road is also not ideal for running due to sidewalks being almost nonexistent for most parts of the road. There are houses along the road, but I did not see a single person out. When I was finally about to arrive at the coordinates, I saw a white truck turn right to the same gravel path, making me hesitant to follow along or wait for the car to leave. I decided to go ahead and continue in the same direction. The coordinate is not too far from the main road but far enough to remain unseen and probably unheard. There is a big old wooden pipe along the gravel path that connects to a reservoir. As soon as I arrived, two men who seemed to be workers supervising politely said hi and asked what I was doing there; after I explained why I was there, they shared some rather unexpected information about the unfortunate crime that had taken place there, they mentioned how they remembered hearing about the news and pointed towards where allegedly the body had been found, they left a few minutes after. I took a look around and explored the area, and even though, to some extent I was a bit scared, the feeling of curiosity and suspense made me stay and wander around for a little longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
