Is it just me or does anyone else find it unsettling that an 18 year old female was sharing a room with a 16 year old male.

I wonder if one of the reasons that Anna wanted to join the army is because it would get her away from her family immediately.

The whole family is protecting this 16 year old! How absolutely disgusting! The step grandparents even admitted he had demons, more like he was one, but how could you protect someone that killed your family member, and the killer isn't even related to you?!

Anna was a classmate of my friend’s son. It’s truly heartbreaking. She was such a lovely young woman.

These judges will never learn. They keep relapsing unstable people into society. Just like the woman set fire on the subway in Chicago. Guy had over 70 prior arrests. Unreal! They need to start being held accountable!

Her father and stepmother knew she was scared of her step-brother. Even her exboyfriend confronted her parents, after he saw his inappropriate behavior on a camera LIVE, while Anna was sleeping and confronted the dude who ran away from the room. And they still have not done anything to protect her. Her father even plays dumb, he cannot tell if it was a self-ending or not, he said in an interview where he acted like he already wants to move on... Both these adults should be charged and spend a long time in prison. They allowed this to happen.
