12-year-old Shanda Sharer was murdered in 1992. The details of her murder shocked the area. There had been just three other murders in the previous 12 years in the County, and none of them were as gruesome. People were even more shocked when it was revealed that four teenage girls were responsible for the brutal murder.

Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the murder of Shanda Sharer. It didn't take long for Melinda Loveless, Laurie Tackett, Hope Rippey, and Toni Lawrence to be identified as the perpetrators of Shanda's murder. Some of the girls talked about it openly to friends. Investigators learned that it was Melinda Loveless who held a grudge against Shanda because she thought Shanda was messing around with her girlfriend, Amanda. Melinda recruited Laurie, Hope, and Toni to follow her plan even though the three girls didn't even know Shanda.
