Kelly Lynn Austin was five
years old
Her story, until now, has went
untold
Kelly was a beautiful, healthy
child
With a lust for life that beamed
when she smiled
One night as Kelly lay asleep
Her soul became the Lord's to
keep
No one predicted that night
would be when
Her life would succumb to a
tragic end
For too many years her father's
crime
Was filed away just passing time
Until two Detectives with hearts
of gold
Made sure that Kelly's story was
told
They travel the country through
rain, sleet, and snow
To honor all victims and let
families know
Their loved ones are remembered
each one in thought
Stays on their mind while
Justice is sought
They are dedicated,
professional, and very kind
In working to give families some
peace of mind
Not knowing the truth is the
hardest part
When losing a loved one so close
to their heart
They work really hard with
nothing to gain
Except to help families to
lessen the pain
Between them and families
there's a bond they share
It's their way of showing how
much they care
By giving hope to families with
loved ones lost
And meaning to victim's that
paid the ultimate cost
To Pay
Tribute To Detective Robert Alexander and
Detective Greg Myler; Prosecutor John Thomas
(San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department
Cold Case Unit); and,
Prosecutor John Thomas and
Prosecutor Mike Fermin.
