Sexual predators are EVERYWHERE! She must have told him no.

[@ms.ravenwood]

She said no more and wanted to end it
He unalived her.

[@CornPopandSpecialK-jh9br]

He’s guilty. End of story!!

Unfortunately, sex work is not a game. Anybody who’s been in sex work for 1020 years would tell you you should never be in a customers house anyway.

First degree? What? Why not?

[@rinjilsig6728]

i knew her personally, she was the sweetest and most amazing person, and she will always be loved and remembered, always remember her as a sweet soul, not the fact that she was a dancer who got murdered.

[@TheSuperPsychoKiller]

If she was a good person, why did she choose an industry with bad people? You are who you spend your time with.

[@feckless7989]

We're so glad you are following the case and advocating for justice. Thank you for sticking up for your friend. It was apparent she was a great person, and just a child really. 💔
