Another girl similar to Kelsey has recently gone missing in the same area. I haven’t heard an update, but am reading FReeper comments that he could turn out to be the perp in that case, too.
I’ll say this much. Somebody in his circle of family and friends KNEW there was something wrong with him. I guarantee you. Now, did they KNOW he was a potential psycopathic murderer. Oh of course not...nobody who is close to someone like that EVER dares to predict such a thing. But you’ll notice that others, who come in contact with them or observe them over the years from when they are children to young adulthood will candidly tell you that when they find out they did something like this, THEY are not surprised.
I know from first hand, a criminal type I went to a private school with and rode the same school bus with and went to the same church as his family, whom I would’ve predicted would turn that way, later did indeed commit a serious, violent felony. And when I knew this guy would turn out this way, he was in the SIXTH grade.
People need to be educated about seeking some kind of intervention for young people who show the signs they are headed for serious deviancy.
Kelsey.
Such a beautiful, vibrant girl. Seems to come from a good, close knit family. Graduated a few days ago. Had a nice boyfriend who was waiting with her parents at their home for her to come back from Target so they could go out. Planned to study pre-Veterianarian in college then become a Vet. Obviously loved animals. Grabbed in broad daylight in a Target store parking lot. Assaulted and murdered and body dumped. The All American girl brutalized and snuffed out by an All American scumbag loser psychopath.
It gets to me, WestCoastGal. It’s nearly more than I can stand.
Perp has a myspace page and a “friend” had accused him of murder before he was arrested according to kcmo newspaper.
