A Side Note- Crossed Paths

The Madonna at Holy Name

I was reading the latest Post update on the horrifying case of Renee Bowman, the mother who beat the youngest of her adopted children and presumably murdered and froze the older two. I was five paragraphs in when the following caught my attention:

...Bowman, 43, is best known to a very few friends and neighbors on Linden Place, the Northeast Washington street where she spent much of her childhood and teenage years.

Apparently she stayed with relatives on Linden when life with her mother deteriorates. The article says she attended, and was active at Holy Name Catholic Church. Despite what the article says, Holy Name is located on 11th Street, between I and K.
