My condolences to Sherrys' family !
I feel like no punishment is severe enough, for the fear (and most likely, pain) Sherry must have gone through.
My friends' aunt used to jog along town and country roads several years ago. When people told her to be careful, she'd laugh and say something like : " Oh, I'm old---no one bothers women my age ! " Yeah, right ; she was approaching 40 at the time, slender and petite. I'm happy to report that she's still fine, still likes to run, and does it indoors on her NordicTrack Ellipse ---a gift from her husband. Who knows? Maybe it has saved her life ?
I hate it that it's too dangerous for women to take a walk along a highway these days -- even if they have a dog with them. Carrying a gun might be safer; but if you're not well-versed in how to protect against a perp -- who may even try to bash you with a car or do God knows what --you could be disarmed.
Wish this had a better outcome; like she just 'ran away from probems in her life', or something like that.
