Bill Comeans was murdered 34 years ago at the age of 14.
Bill died on January 7, 1980, near the family home in West Columbus, Ohio, reports 10TV.com. Comeans, who was 9 at the time of her brother’s death, spoke to the station about her late brother.
Via 10TV.com:
“I can remember the night that we found out, the same feelings are there.” Her big brother Bill was found a block away from their West Columbus home, strangled with his own scarf. “He’s physically not here, but he’s still with us,” she said. “His memories are still with us.”
The Twitter account is both eerie and heartbreaking.
34 years ago today, I was murdered. I was 14 and had my entire life to live. My family is still looking for my killer.

Some tweets are almost “normal,” as if Bill is just another good natured teenager playing around on the Web.
Some of my favorite things: playing the piano, drawing, hanging out with my family.

My story is being shared in four languages. I only ever wanted to grow up.
