GAS CITY, Ind. (WISH) — Indiana State Police have found the body of a missing girl. Investigators believe she was strangled by her stepmother.

Amanda Carmack, 34, has been arrested for the murder of Skylea Carmack. She is now in the Grant County Jail on preliminary charges of murder, neglect of a dependent resulting in serious bodily injury, strangulation and domestic battery resulting in serious injury.

Skylea had been missing since Saturday afternoon. A Silver Alert was issued on Sunday.

Police believe she was killed between 4:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Saturday evening and was strangled.

Around 3 a.m. Wednesday, her body was found inside of a trash bag behind a shed. That shed is located behind her home.

Police did not discussion a motive for the killing.

“Our main focus is who and how, not why,” said ISP Sgt. Tony Slocum. “To try and rationalize why someone would kill a 10 year old, there’s no rationale for that. That’s just an act of cowardice.”

Six other children have been removed from the home and placed with DCS.

Umm isn't a silver alert for an old person? Amber alert perhaps?

Real mothers too:

Mothers are more likely to abuse children than fathers. Fact? (Yes)

Considering the percentage of mother-only households, that’s not a surprising result.

I have long noticed that when there is a family murder or extreme abuse, there is very likely a step involved.

They are not all like The Brady Bunch.

Oddly sometimes the good one is the step.

A Silver Alert? That’s for elderly people.

Sheeesh..... and this is just the UK. And if abortion stats were included, those numbers would of course show an even greater percentage were mothers.

We just had the conviction for the 2nd-degree murder (I don’t know why it wasn’t 1st, as it was premeditated) of her daughter, in a ploy to deprive her ex of her. She also apparently “intended” to commit suicide, but couldn’t carry it through.

Funny, when they put guys who do stuff like this in prison they usually have to be kept in solitary, since even other criminals find child murderers abhorrent. But when Karla Homolka (now free and living under a new name) was in jail, she lived freely in the minimum security facility. I guess other women aren’t so judgmental about taking part in the sexual abuse, torture and murder of teenage girls?

A lot of women are forced to abortions by the father of the child, and this includes minor girls...which PP or the other abortion groups don’t report to law enforcement, of course. They’re exempted from sex abuse reporting requirements.

“She lives in Oklahoma with a menagerie of two cats, a Pug, and a very bossy miniature Poodle...”

Sounds like a different person, a single animal lady from OK versus a woman with six kids from IN.

It is a different person and I know that. I was only pointing
out that there was another person with the same name.
