This woman didn’t deserve to be murdered like this. The person that did this was heartless and evil.
Last time I saw this woman she was at ECC pregnate. What happened to her baby I wonder? I hope it was safe. I know she was homeless and hope they find who would do such a horrible thing.
ANSWERING:
“How old was she..”
She was born March 12, 1977 so she was a couple of months shy of 36
David for longer life spans
and cures for sickness
