Linda Linda grew up in a tough part of town. She had learned from a tender age to use what she had to get what she wanted. A single mother, she worked as a waitress and was growing tired of her dead-end life. On one of her evening shifts, she met Alejandro, a sexy man with a decent job who was an easy target. Linda knew how to please men and easily seduced him. She soon brought up the idea of getting married. Alejandro told her he couldn't marry her because there were prying eyes. Since Alejandro had always avoided being around Linda's baby she immediately thought her child was standing between her and a new life. One week later her baby's body was found in the river. Shortly after the funeral, Linda again asked Alejandro about getting married--now that she had "taken care of things." Alejandro was horrified and told her that it wasn't her baby that had kept him from marrying her, it was his mother. Linda started screaming like a crazed animal, grabbed a knife, stabbed Alejandro and then killed herself. To this day, children playing near the river hear her cries and run from her screams.
