I hope they do time to bad they couldn’t get the death penalty. She was a very sweet girl her twin brother had been trying to get her to come back home in Iowa for quite some time before this happened she was mentally slow. how could you do that to someone like her it be like doing that to a child so if a child got on there nerves doesn’t seem to take a scientist of what they would do as a child. They’re not fit society television society if they do that for someone getting on their nerves then how many have they gotten away with. Mandy’s mom had passed away a few years ago she would be devastated you know her little girl was murdered and just buried like some garbage pile in the yard I hope Mandy made it home to be buried in Iowa with her mom I mean for real that was somebody’s child I guess they have no remorse so it wouldn’t matter if it was their child or not I pray to God they get what’s coming to them
Any updates on this case
I am also curious what is going on with this case? Haven’t heard much more about it. It is a sad situation all the way around, Chris was my best friend growing up while we were teenagers on into our 20s and 30s, he then moved away from Kansas and distance made us distant.
