Agreed!!
I just heard reported that the suspect has a long criminal record.
We're so sorry.

Here in Knoxville, TN we had several gruesome murders within about five miles of where I live, including one of an assistant manager of a Radio Shack that was just next door to a Chinese restaurant I'd often gone to. Those murders were more than enough convincing for me to get a carry permit and start packing heat. I've had the permit now for over ten years and continue to pack. If you and your wife don't have permits and aren't packing, you ought to get them and start packing.
If he killed her in Missouri then they can try him for the murder there. They're not so shy about executions.

But you are right, we need to do something like that..

That is a good point. The site they have found her is on MY side of the state line and we can always help out the Kansas cousins.
I too think that this case is very tragic and my prayers go out to this family, but the 24/7 media hypes these things up and you’d think that terrible things haven’t been happening to unsuspecting people for 1,000’s of years. And if she wasn’t young, white, and cuter than a pail full of puppies you wouldn’t see this story at all. Thousands go missing every year but if you tip the scales and have dark skin you aren’t ever going to make the “Breaking News” section of Fox or CNN.....
I feel so bad this afternoon about this conclusion. We all will pray for her family.
We also know this scum will be caught and I hope the very worst for him.
I guess young women can no longer be safe in the daylight.
This says something about our culture at the frequency this occurs.
bttt
Oh Lord.
Guess that pretty much ends the previous speculation that he’s an illegal.
It looked like the guy came up on her really fast maybe gave a blow to the head or karate chop. Criminals have the element of surprise, even if you have a gun, knife or mace, they have a huge advantage. It looked like she put her items in the passenger side of car and decided to walk around the back to go to drivers side. Then the guy runs up to her really fast. I always take my items with me to the drivers side and have the key ready. I don’t bother opening my trunk or backseat. I get in, lock the door and toss whatever it is in the back. Many robberies happen in parking lots. They sit and wait, come out of nowhere, and work in teams.
They should get this guys photo out to the public television and internet so he can be found ASAP before he does something else.
Poor, sweet girl. :( My prayers and thoughts to her family.
It's better now than it has ever been. According to the FBI, there are fewer child molesters and rapists on the loose than ever before, but because of the 24-hour instant media we hear about all of them when they happen. What would have been a local story 20 years ago is now a national or even international story.
What other crime was this crime copying?
I pray for my three young granddaughters all the time. Even out in the country you can’t be safe.
It was a blitz attack. There was very little Kelsey could have done to fight him off. She was small and thin. She was taken completely by surprise. If only some passerby had seen it happening and got involved.
So sad.
