What parent in their right mind would let their daughter room with a stepbrother??????? Especially if she told family she was afraid of him
Sounds like the Dad and step mom need some charges too
Dad and step mom didnt protect her. He shouldnt have been around her and NOT sharing a room.
I don’t think a 16 year old boy and 18 year old girl should be sharing a cabin.. step siblings or not
My God what kind of family is this???
The bottom line is------he's a violent murderer.
They should investigate the father, something is very fishy with this family
Justice for Anna
They didn't have the respect to tell her that her own child passed away. Disrespectful.
The fact her bio mum was not even told directly by anybody involved! My GOD.
