In the heart of the state, justice took the stand,
Ellison and Stinson, a powerful hand.

Kellogg boat launch, a small river town.

June 18th, the night turned grim,
Melissa Hunt’s light was stolen by him.
Craig Hameister, with intent so cold,
Faced the truth, his story told.

“I shot her in the face,” his words confessed,
A life cut short, a family distressed.
But the law stood firm, no room for escape,
Second-degree murder sealed his fate.

Ellison’s team, with the county in sync,
Brought justice swift, made the guilty link.
For Melissa’s smile, her light, her grace,
They fought for her in this darkened space.

To the Sheriff’s crew and BCA,
Your work brought truth to light today.
For the ones we’ve lost, for the pain we feel,
Justice is served, the wounds start to heal.
