This week, Drewby and Yergy discuss the tragic case of Shanda Sharer, who was an American girl who was assaulted, tortured and burned to death in Madison, Indiana by four teenage girls - Melinda Loveless (age 16), Toni Lawrence (age 15), Hope Rippey (age 15), and Laurie Tackett (age 17). Sharer was 12 years old at the time of her death, with her murder being attributed to jealously over Sharer entering a romantic relationship with Loveless's ex-girlfrend, 14 year old Amanda Heavrin. The incident attracted international attention due to both the brutality of the murder, and the young age of the victim and the perpetrators. The case was covered on national news and talk programs and has inspired a number of episodes on fictional crime shows.
