I am Amanda’s sister. Yes our mother went to the Sheriff to get a restraining order, and they all but laughed and said you know who his parents are. Nothing will come of that. Like what’s the point. His mother was the 911 dispatcher who took the call. His step father was a detective for the police department. She reported that her killer came into our property with a weapon one night outside Amanda’s window. And stated she had an audio recording proving it. He told her friend while on the phone with her. Her friend kept rhat recording safe. They didn’t want to hear it. They did nothing to protect her. Even after her death, we would be followed by police anytime we went anywhere. So we always had to be going the exact speed limit and never doing anything wrong. We did move away.

You can put in a request to the admin to update her case to reflect this information. I feel like having that out in the universe would put a light on how broken this system is sometimes.

I can promise you, I’m her sister, community was aware. Reports were made to her guidance counselor. My mother tried to get a restraining order. His mother was the 911 dispatcher who took the call and his step father was a police detective. He got away with a lot. Typical in a small town. Police kids always got away with a lot. We tried.
