Mother wants to stop convicted killer from profiting off 1985 murder
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/11/07/california-woman-wants-to-stop-convicted-killer-from-profiting-off-185-murder/?intcmp=latestnewsA California woman whose only daughter was the victim of a gruesome 1985 murder reportedly wants to stop one of the convicted killers from profiting from a memoir detailing the crime.
The body of Michelle “Missy†Avila, 17, was found on Oct. 4, 1985, face down beneath a 100-pound log in a creek inside the Angeles National Forest in Los Angeles County. The teenager’s close friends confronted her in the forest, accusing her of having slept with their boyfriends. The shocking crime became fodder for books, television movies and true-crime documentaries — and now convicted murderer Karen Severson is hoping to cash in as well.
“My daughter is dead in the ground and Karen is going to profit out of writing a book about her? And profit on it? No, there ought to be a law that that cannot happen,†Irene Avila told ABC7.com. “Tell [Severson] to go to hell. I’m her worst nightmare!â€
Karen Severson and Laura Ann Doyle should be 6 feet under. They were paroled despite being sentenced to life in prison in Commiefornia.
