For 10 years I have been writing this column every week. During that time, I can count on one hand the number of times I simply could not come up with a topic I wanted to write about.
This is one of those times.
It’s not that there’s not a lot to write about. There is plenty. But none of it seems to flow. As I write this, I have started several different columns and gave up after a few paragraphs. So this may be a little different. Here are a few things I’m thinking about.
• Friday morning began with tragic news — two bodies found near the Wahweap swim beach.
It didn’t take long for law enforcement to figure out the two people, both Page residents, were most likely dead due to a murder suicide. The victims were later identified as Matt Franklin, 37, and Raelle Begay, 25.
The next morning, four members of Raelle’s family met with me to share their thoughts. I learned Raelle and Matt had been dating for around half a year, but then I learned something troubling.
Lenora Begay said her daughter showed clear signs of domestic violence. Lenora said one time her daughter ended up in a hospital and just days before she died, she came home bruised up.
