INDIANAPOLIS -- An Indiana mother is dealing with the killing of a daughter for the second time.
Thursday evening, Evelyn Sheese stared at an image of her daughter, Summer, that had been captured on her cell phone two weeks ago.
Thursday morning, a Marion County Sheriff's Department chaplain delivered painful news.
"He said that he had some bad news about my daughter and I thought, 'Oh my God, not Summer,' and he said, 'Yes, your daughter's been murdered,'" Sheese said.
Twenty-five-year-old Summer Sheese's body was found Thursday in the trunk of a car that was parked at a home in the 1800 block of West 66th Street.
According to the Marion County coroner, she had been beaten, strangled and stabbed multiple times in the face.
"Who could have done such a tragic thing and taken her life -- such a beautiful girl, I mean, what reason?" Sheese asked.
Paul Mayes, 32, has been arrested, but hasn't been charged with anything. He's been termed a person of interest.
Police said he had access to the car, which is owned by his grandmother.
The Sheese family is reliving a nightmare. Nearly seven years ago, Summer's younger sister, Shannon, was found beaten to death on East Market Street.
The girls' mother told RTV6's Jeremy Brilliant she sometimes has to search deep to find strength.
"You can't go cry every day of your life, but your heart's crying. You have to just go on," Sheese said.
Two women and a man were convicted of killing Shannon Sheese. They are currently serving their terms.
Evelyn Sheese hopes that those responsible for Summer's death are tried, convicted and locked up for good.
lol
Tell you what - I'll pray for you too. It seems that your priorities might be a little out of skew and that can lead to a lot of seemingly unanswered prayers.
God Bless
