Where is the outrage? Another young woman killed at such a young age. !! The community needs to start teaching young folks the value of life. When a felon is caught, they need to be put away for a LONG time to prevent more killings South bewnd Tribune. Suggestion Make these victims real. Tell their story. Their live history. Success and failures. Dreams and failures. It makes them real and good reading Not just another name
