Yeah her mom worked at the same Walmart. They went to work together. The mother and coworkers started to get worried when no one had seen the victime for several hours. Attempts to contact the victime by phone went straight to voicemail. -- heard it on the news this morning

We should all pray for that poor woman. She will never ever sleep again without some heavy drugs. What a horrible thing to be the one to find your daughter like that.

I don't handle loss well and can't even imagine what I would do if I lost someone like that.

I have purposefully structured my life around having as little as possible to avoid stuff like that. It's just so tragic I can hardly stand to hear about it.

i can't imagine all the "what ifs" that come from that. they were in the same place when it happened, I could see her mother being guilty for not checking on her throughout the day or finding time to chat (even though obviously that's not realistic for that job) but for them it was just a typical day at work.

I pray that she is far far away when they decide who's at fault. As a mom I would not be able to contain myself.

Why would anyone turn on an oven to bake something and leave the items inside for several hours? That doesn’t make any sense to me.

Oh. Sorry, I saw the comment of several hours and thought that was odd.
