My name is Alice. And this is my diary leading up to my murder.

May 15

Master had me clean the cellar again. Told me if I didn’t I wouldn’t eat. I’m starving but he don’t care. He was a loving husband until his new woman moved in. He made me their made do this and do that. But so I don’t get beat or starved I do as told.

May 20

I got locked in my room it’s been five days and he still won’t let me out. I’m hungry and cold. But he won’t let me out. Last time he made me go into the woods for fire wood after he let me out. It’s to cold for that now.

May 23

He finally let me out. He said he needed me to love him after treating me like a maid for months. I dare not to ask what happened to his woman. He had made me breakfast and ate with me.

October 23

I haven’t written in months. This were amazing up until now. He got me pregnant and brought his woman back. He used my body for them to have a child. I’m due in December and I want to try to escape before I have him.

November 1

He is keeping me healthy for the baby but making me do all the cleaning and cooking. They just sit around giving me commands. I’m almost due with the baby and haven’t figured how to escape without him knowing.

November 20

Baby came early. Doctors said he pushed me to much. He is such a handsome baby but I only got to see him for a few minutes. They took him with them.

November 24

I was sent home and he makes me do ever for them while they enjoy my baby. I say anything about him they slap me with a whip. It hurts a lot

December 1 (my death)

He sent me to the woods for fire wood and I never returned. He followed me. I thought he was going to help me but when we got into the deep woods is when he made his move. He started to stab me I tried to run but it was no good hundreds of stabs and I was fighting hard to get away but the last stab took my life. He tried to bury me in the snow and leaves.

December 10 (my finding)

It’s been ten days. Some hunters found my body. I was unregnised and they reported my missing body to the police
