Woman's life ...
Continued from Page 4
"She said they forced her to work on the street, to
pe a prostitute. She said she had never been with a man
before then. I believed her. She was only 13."
Sandra dropped out of school and later disappeared.
The Andersons heard Sandra had gone to New York,
fleeing a man who had forced her into prostitution.
u - The couple next was Sandra in 1980. She had a 6-month-old
baby named Bennie.
"She was trying very hard to raise him," Mrs. Ander
son said. "The baby was always clean, well fed. He always
was dressed nicely."
In June of 1980, Sandra and the baby stayed with
the Andersons for about a week. They all went to Great
America amusement park north of the city. Sandra
liked the roller coaster best.
They took a camera along and now we have photos
of a pretty, well-dressed young mother and her fat and
happy baby.
Slowlv. Sandra and the Andersons lost touch.
In 1981 and 1982, Chicago Police Department re
cords show that Sandra was arrested for theft, disorderly
conduct and prostitution. The records show no convic
tions. In late August, the Anderson's heard Sandra's
name on the radio. She had been murdered. She was 18.
The police thought at first she had been murdered by
an unhappy customer. Later, her death was linked to, a
Jack-the-Ripper team who murdered and mutilated
women, including some prostitutes.
Her baby is now being raised by her sister, Sonjia
Smith. "She came over three weeks before she died,"
Sonjia said. "I said: 'Sandra, you're just too smart to
be wasting your life on the streets. You're just too in
telligent.' But she didn't listen. She wouldn't listen."
"A lot of people loved her," Mrs. Anderson said. "We
did. Her relatives did. And we all saw a life wasted.
"Here was this girl who was bright and who was
loved."
In the end, it was not enough.
In the end, it did not save her.

asBfe . Letters
nue to circumstances within mv control, a erave
grammatical error was made in a column in Wednesday's
Daily Nebraskan. A sentence in the Bob Glissmann
column read "... if you can change an instructor's way
of running a course, or at least make he or she think
about changing ..." the sentence should have read
"... or at least make him or her think about chang
ing ... "
My immediate family deeply regrets the error, and
has considered removing me from the will. Such bad
grammar should not be j promulgated by anyone in the
university community, lei alone anyone writing for an
upstanding student newspaper. As punishment, I pro
pose that I not be allowed to write any more columns
this semester (after next week).
