Kevin Ray Underwood was arraigned yesterday in court, on a first degree murder charge for the grisly murder of Jamie Bolin, a ten year old girl from Purcell Oklahoma.Reports refer to Underwood as being "quiet" and "soft-spoken" as he requested a public defender in front of the judge.
If you click on the images to the left (they will open in a new window) you'll find an affidavit filed with the court, and the court
filing of the charges against him.It's difficult to understand how someone could commit such a completely heinous crime, and in society's desire to give reason to how something so terrible could happen, many have latched onto Underwoods blog- hoping that in some way it will provide them with an explanation. A clue. Something. It does not make us forget the most important aspect of this case- the fact that a beautiful little girl has been stolen from those who knew her, and from those that perhaps
would have been lucky enough to meet her one day in the future. But, we still have that longing, that need, to understand why she was taken. In truth- it's not likely that anyone will ever find it, because there is nothing that could justify it, nothing that could undo the horrors that have been committed.While Kevin will sit in jail, will go to trial and wait to receive a verdict and then his sentence, a family will go on to mourn for the child lost. While we can not ever begin to take their pain away, we can show the family our support, and let them know that we have all been
touched by this tragic event. Family members intend to set up an emergency fund at Bank of Oklahoma, to which those wishing can contribute. While few of us had the joy of knowing Jamie, we have been given the chance to show our concern and sympathy to her family.I'll be writing some more on this case later, but until then, the following true crime bloggers have been working hard on this story, please take a moment to visit them:
