What does the culture do with its anonymous broken girls? Russell Tillis said he buried them all over Jacksonville. He said he made up a story to get the death penalty, then changed his mind. He was innocent after all. Until police found parts of the girl buried under his Trailer of Horrors, where Tillis’s supposed fabrication said they’d be. What happened in his rural plot behind suburban office parks? What missing girls might yet be identified?

In five years, this neighborhood will be flooded and returned to swamp. When Hurricane Irma turned Marjenhoff Park and its surrounding houses into a swirl of swill, long after the 25 year history of South Jacksonville as a city, long after those little boys chased an alligator through city pipes, almost a century after South Jax City Councilman and son blurred ages, still: once “haunt” and “home” meant the same thing.

The ghetto’s relocated to the suburbs. The cheap hotel by the interstate interchange is the port city of 500 years ago. Drugs and sex slaves do brisk business. Jacksonville murders black transwomen. I B-my-OB at suburban hotel truck stops and transcribe the “marketplace of ideas.” Get your kicks on Dix Ellis Trail!
