That raises the possibility of a murderous potential in All parents a said Wilkins. In the Days after Marcia died her classmates began pinning notes stuffed animals and Flowers on her locker. School officials following the advice of experts quietly removed the mementos they thought could romanticize or glorify what at the time appeared to be a suicide.
