The Abduction of Shanda Sharer
On the night of June 10, 1992, four teenage girls showed up at Shanda’s home. Melinda Loveless, Laurie Tackett, Hope Rippey, and Toni Lawrence. The girls had a plan, and it began with Hope and Toni going to the front door to lure Shanda outside. They told her that her girlfriend Amanda wanted to meet up with her.
Shanda told them that she couldn’t leave the house at that moment but that they should come back once her dad and stepmom were asleep. She had no idea that Melinda – Amanda’s angry, jealous ex-girlfriend was waiting in the car, hungry for revenge.
