About this listen
When an elderly man in Sacramento passed away in 1998, his house went up for sale. Everything seemed ordinary — until a locked upstairs room was opened. Inside were stacks of notebooks spanning decades.
The writings, signed with the man’s initials, described a 1967 hit-and-run accident that killed a young boy on a bicycle. The case had gone unsolved for over thirty years. Each year afterward, the man wrote another entry — confessions of guilt, nightmares of the boy he killed, and his fear of dying with the secret.
The truth never came in life. But the notebooks revealed what he couldn’t say aloud: sometimes the heaviest punishment isn’t prison — it’s living with a locked room in your own house, and in your own mind.
