MEMORIES COME TINGED WITH ANGER GRANDFATHER OF 15-YEAR-OLD VICTIM ASSAILS MICHIGAN PAROLE PANEL .
by Marian Dozier and Margaret trimer-Hartley Free Press Staff Writers
Ten years ago, Cynthia Jones gave her grandfather a small block of wood with photos of herself and her siblings. She dated it 2-23-82 and signed it "Cindy." Friday, that memento gave Murray Burley some comfort as he talked about the murder of his oldest granddaughter, whose body was found Thursday in a makeshift grave. Burley, 65, lashed out at the state parole system that had freed the man who has confessed to her murder. Burley said he was outraged that the parole system had disregarded "such a stark criminal history" as that of Leslie Williams. "I am more frightened of that system and the people that operate it than I am of Williams," he said. "We don't know how many Williamses they have let out."
Funeral services for Cynthia, 15, who was abducted Jan. 4 from a Milford park, will be at 1 p.m. Monday at Milford Presbyterian Church, 238 N. Main Street, Milford. Visitation will be from 7 to 9 tonight and 1 to 9 p.m. Sunday at the Richardson-Bird Chapel of Lynch & Sons Funeral Home, 404 E. Liberty, Milford. Cynthia, a native of Dearborn, is survived by her mother, Alana; sisters Mary, Elizabeth and Emily; brother, Tommy, and grandparents Mary and Murray Burley. Memorial contributions may be made to the Milford High School chapter of Students Against Drunk Driving, in care of Diane Douglass, 2380 S. Milford, Highland Township 48357. Cynthia was a member of the group.
