Miranda had been getting lonely despite having a great job and many friends because she lacked a romantic partner. She explored Tinder seeking a girlfriend. She met a woman her age named Aubrey who seemed like an ideal match for her.
They met in person, enjoyed each other’s company, and arranged a date. On their first date, Miranda began having feelings for Aubrey, and they made a second date after which Miranda mysteriously vanished.
Aubrey had taken Miranda to her apartment that she shared with an evil man who identified as a vampire and was the leader of a small cult of three women he controlled, ravished, and called witches. But when the three women learned he was going to find a woman to kill for the sheer pleasure of it, shocked, they ran away from him. They didn’t want to be a part of something that evil and knew he meant what he said.
Tragically, Miranda became that woman. Aubrey and her boyfriend battered her and strangled her to death. They hacked her body into pieces and stuffed her body parts in garbage bags they dumped in a remote location.
Partly by luck, mostly by good detective work, the police caught the two killers a few weeks into their investigation. One is on death row. The other is in prison for life. And it’s a goddamn shame Miranda got murdered simply because she was looking for someone to love and be loved by. And it’s a goddamn shame we live in a world where many women are murdered and so much evil flourishes.
