Shanda Sharer was 12 years old when she moved to Illinois with her mother and started a new school - it would be here where she would catch the eye of a young woman named Amanda Heavrin and the intense jealous eye of another girl who had been going out with Amanda, her name was Melinda Loveless.
Loveless had a tortured past yet that wouldn't explain the cruel and senseless acts that would go on the night of January 11, 1992 when Loveless, Laurie Tacket, Hope Rippey, and Toni Lawrence would all band together and brutally murder Shanda.
Here is her story.

Trigger warnings- the discussion of the night of Shanda's death is not for the faint of heart.
