I know you’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover, buttttt… I’d convict her just by looking at that picture. She’d definantly torture someone.
Find this violent murderer. She deserves a trial and a strict sentence before she kills again. Look at that evil face of death and chaos. She has no love or empathy. I wonder if the other thugs who are wanted didn’t already off her…. Disgusting hearted woman.
She looks pissed off. Hope they find her before she does it again. Lovely pictures.
That face shouldn’t be hard to find! Looks like Charlotte’s Web and The Grinch had a baby!
Crust of the earth. Anyone hiding her needs to go to jail too.
She looks like the angry emoji 😡
Looks like this case could be only the beginning of unraveling a whole tangle of mayhem. Will it make a difference? One can only hope.
Out of custody is the key term here
I can’t help but wonder if there’s some cultural reason someone would name their child the same name as their last name but with an a. Or perhaps they just weren’t feeling creative that day…?
Bill Williams? Jim Jameson? Johnny Johnson?
Dick Trickle?
Couldn’t help myself. 😆
Try harder.
He is a retired NASCAR driver
I don’t see why any race name there child crazy name’s but they do. Every race do it.
C’mon man! Every fucking one of them looks like they just got done killing their parents. What happened to Covelo (Mayberry)?
It doesn’t look like she should be hard to find. She is like a blue whale among krill.
dying.
They’ll catch her with a steak out
She’s hiding at the zoo
4 of them left the property with the couple, what role did the other 2 play? The older man and his daughter (?) Janet looked freaked out and maybe a little horrified. Where they even there when the couple was killed? The others all have the same “so what?” expressions..
What? I wonder if this is the same girl ppl are talking about that supposedly was also murdered AND BURIED that same night? Idk what law enforcement is looking into but not a bad idea maybe to look deeper into that. Why else would she be the only one that is missing. I don’t think she’s hiding anywhere they know wher they put h r. investigate harder
W&S, sorry, that was a brain fart. I meant to say look not looked. I didn’t see any of them in person. I’m talking about the photos on this page. I searched last night and found at least some of them were taken before this happened so I guess my comment is irrelevant.
Covelo 5. 3 victims?
Someone is going around telling people that they heard one of them girls was killed too for being caught helping the two that were found who knows if it’s true but she is still unaccounted for obviously, so? Probably
That is probably truth and that is why they haven’t found her and have the rest of them. They need to start looking around the same area for her body it’s probably out there somewhere close to the others. Where would she go she is from Covalo and it is a reservation and most people from there Rez stay close to it. People on the Rez do know what is going on so what you heard was most likely true.
Um… MM, not related, but are there a lot of young women who have gone missing from Covelo? I read another story last night of a young woman who was killed by her “friends” and left on a road. Also a disturbing comment in an older version of this story. I hope certain history isn’t ongoing or repeating itself.
Well she’s hard to miss…she’ll be found
Winco in the sweets section
The search is now being conducted by U.S.G.S. who are measuring for excessive pressure on the tectonic plate.
Lol
