I feel ill.

It would appear that Melodee was killed on the very last leg of the trip coming into Utah. Unless that wasn’t her in any if the video sightings.

Wouldn’t that be a mind blower if true.

Will they send her to Utah jail?

 

[Knox]

Bullet from body matched those found in car and storage locker

 

[Serononin]

She shot her own daughter in the head. I didn't think the reality could be worse than I'd imagined, but somehow, it is.

 

[Gigglingtoes]

She shot her freaking daughter?!!??

 

[Tealgrove]

She was shot in the head? Good Lord!

Why???????

 

[Gigglingtoes]

WTH is wrong with this woman!!!!!!

 

[Knox]

I might be off on storage locker, hard to hear

 

[Eli9]

A couple discovered tge decomposed body adjacent to W Cainsville Rd.

Thank God they were in this remote area. Justice for Melodee.

 

[lonetraveler]

It's always like a kick to the gut.

 

[Serononin]

Will they send her to Utah jail?

That's a really good question, I don't know how it works if a crime happens in a different state to the one that bothered victim and perpetrator were residents of

Until the very end, I hoped they would find Melodee alive. I am incredibly sad. RIP beautiful little girl.

 

[Knox]

Utah has the death penalty correct?

 

[Gigglingtoes]

I hope she gets what she deserves in prison. You know Melodee prob just thought this was a road trip and didn’t know her own disgusting mother was going to shoot her in the head!!!

 

[Knox]

Premeditated according to the Sheriff

 

[lonetraveler]

This beautiful little girl should be excited right now about Christmas. I hope the murderer gets the death penalty.

 

[Gigglingtoes]

Premeditated according to the Sheriff

Bro if this goes to trial….we are going to hear a lot of things aren’t we

Me too. I figured that she gave her away or sold her.
