Her Mother Discovered the Love Letters
In the weeks following the dance, Melinda was threatening Shanda in public. She wrote letters to Amanda, saying she wanted Shanda dead. As for Shanda’s and Amanda’s love letters, Jackie eventually discovered her daughter’s notes and was shocked to see how sexually explicit they were.

Jackie and Stephen decided the right move would be to split Shanda and Amanda up, and the way they went about it was transferring Shanda to a different school. By the end of November, Shanda was attending Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic School. But the school transfer didn’t cut the girls’ connection. Amanda kept writing letters to Shanda and calling her at home.
