Compared to my last HFR, this one only took about a week to put together. I compared a recent murder case, the murder of 9-year old Elizabeth Olten and a case very much alike back in 2000. David Dewey, 15, was convicted of second degree murder for the death of his 12-year old neighbor, Sheena McDonald. 


Not only were the ages of the offenders the same-more than half a dozen other factors were echoed in each case. Even more twists and turns are found in my web story here

I'd like to thank Boone County Prosecutor, Dan Knight for his time and knowledge of these cases. It truly made a difference in my understanding and in the story.
