Description

A missing-persons case in Massachusetts turned into a murder investigation when 29-year-old Sherell Pringle was found stabbed more than 200 times near a highway, just days after she vanished following a date. Detectives quickly zeroed in on the man she’d been seeing, Bruce Maiben, who was arrested, later charged with murder, and ultimately found guilty after evidence showed he killed her when she tried to end their relationship. At sentencing, Sherell’s family confronted him with emotional statements, and Maiben was given life in prison without parole. Law&Crime’s Elizabeth Millner goes Inside the Crime.

So the family worked the case and found her before the cops bothered to - even with all their technology. That's sad.
