I know the girl and am close friends with a few people that are associated with her, she's definitely not a saint by any means and the parents aren't to much better obviously. Its hard to look past the sadness all of us share but we all know it could have been avoided. Even by returning a phone call the night before it happened

I know the 21 year old and there's defiantly more to the story but even though this girl may have not been doing the right thing she didn't deserve this and her family doesn't deserve to go through this.
