    About Shanda Sharer
    Shanda was a bubbly pre-teen with her whole life ahead of her. She was someone that everybody wanted to be friends with. But one day she got into a fight at school with a 14-year-old girl named Amanda. And this is where the entire story begins. The two were put in detention together and made up quickly. It wasn’t long before they became best friends. But Shanda’s mom wasn’t too happy about this new friendship, as Shanda’s grades started slipping, and she started getting into more trouble at school. Soon the pair started to become romantically involved. Although this wasn’t made clear to Shanda’s mother at the time, she would soon find out.

    It All Started at a School Dance
    The events all started at a school dance that Shanda attended with her new girlfriend Amanda. Unfortunately, Amanda’s ex wasn’t too happy about the fact that she was dating someone else. Melinda Loveless was the name of her ex, who decided to pick a fight with Shanda that evening. Both Amanda and Melinda were a few years older than Shanda, and Melinda started to torment Shanda, saying she wanted to kill her. Amanda got between them and told Melinda to calm down, so the events didn’t escalate too badly that night. But it seemed that revenge was brewing in Melinda’s mind.

    It Turned Out to Be More Than Just Friendship
    One day, Shanda’s mom, Jackie, found love letters written between Amanda and Shanda. She was worried about how sexually explicit the content of the letters was. Especially because her little girl was only 11 years old. That’s quite a young age to become romantically involved. Jackie decided she wanted to send her daughter to another school to split the two girls up. Shanda was getting into trouble more and her mother didn’t like the direction the situation was going towards. Shanda was sent to a catholic school and started to enjoy it. Although the two girls were now at separate schools, they continued to send love letters to one another. But it seemed as if Shanda was less responsive now than she had been when they were at the same school.

    How Was Shanda Sharer Abducted?
    It was early evening on the 10th of June, 1992, when four girls rocked up outside of Shanda’s house. Their names were Melinda Loveless (Amanda’s ex), Hope Rippey, Laurie Tackett, and Toni Lawrence. These girls had a plan for Shanda, and it all began with Hope and Toni knocking on Shanda’s front door. When Shanda opened the door, she was told that Amanda wanted to talk to her and they would take her to her girlfriend. She said her dad and stepmom were still awake, but that they should come back later because she wanted to see Amanda. What she didn’t know, was that this was some kind of twisted revenge plot put together by Amanda’s ex, Melinda Loveless.

    Events at the Witches Castle
    The girls left and came back at 12:30 am in the dark of night as they were certain Shanda’s dad and stepmom would be asleep by then. Hope and Laurie marched up to the door to fetch Shanda, while Melinda and Toni stayed in the car. They hid under a blanket holding a knife. Just the sort of surprise that Shanda would not be expecting. When Shanda got into the car, Melinda popped out and threatened Shanda with the knife. They then took her to the Witch’s Castle in the woods. There they tied her hands and feet and threatened her with cutting all her hair off. They then made a fire, it’s not entirely clear why, but it can be assumed it was either for ambiance or to stave off the cold.

    Leaving the Witch’s Castle
    The girls were worried that the fire may have drawn attention to them, so they decided to leave the Witch’s Castle. They drove around aimlessly for a while, all unsure of what they were going to do next. Eventually, they ended up in the forest that was located behind Laurie’s house. This seemed like a quiet place for them to go about their evil deeds. Laurie and Melinda took Shanda into the woods while Toni and Hope remained in the car. The two girls proceeded to take off all of Shanda’s clothes, and they started beating her. Melinda even tried to cut Shanda’s throat, but it appeared that the knife was too blunt. It was then that Hope decided to join them in the woods. It seemed that she wanted to be a part of all the action.

    A Seeming End to the Torture
    Now that Hope had joined Laurie and Melinda in the woods, they had an extra set of hands to help them. Hope was holding Shanda down, while Laurie and Melinda took turns to stab Shanda. They then strangled young Shanda until they were sure she was unconscious before putting her body into the back of the car. It’s almost unbelievable that girls of this age would be capable of such a gruesome murder, but there’s a lot more to each of these girls than first meets the eye. Each of them had lived very difficult lives, not that anything aids as an excuse for the terrible events that unfolded that night.

    All About Melinda Loveless
    As you can imagine, Melinda Loveless didn’t come from a healthy, loving, and balanced home. Melinda’s father, Larry Loveless, was an army veteran from the Vietnam War. He had difficulty getting and holding down a job and spent all the money he did make on guns and motorcycles. Which is not a very responsible way for any father to behave. Larry was also an abusive drunk and was known to beat his wife in front of their children. He and Marjorie (Melinda’s mother) had an open relationship, and would often bring other couples home from the bar. They were a promiscuous couple, to say the least. Larry was also known for lending out his wife to his friends. Whether this was out of her own will or forced upon her is not known.

    More About the Life of Melinda Loveless
    Marjorie was beaten badly and often, sometimes even having to be hospitalized for her injuries. Because of this, she became increasingly depressed and tried to take her own life many times. Unfortunately, Larry didn’t keep his abusive behavior to only his wife, it seemed he was willing to abuse everyone and anyone he had any kind of power over. He was abusive toward his three young daughters too. Even going as far as molesting them. Melinda claimed that she shared a bed with her father until she was 14, which was when her parents finally got divorced and her father moved out of state. Leaving his family to live in peace for the very first time. But it’s easy to see how their tragic past could have tormented each of them a great deal.

    Melinda Loveless Continued to Have a Difficult Life
    As a young teenager, Melinda struggled badly with depression and she got into fights at school on a regular basis. This is not surprising considering the level of violence that she had to endure at home. Yet still, nobody could have ever predicted how far she would take her violence with Shanda. Melinda was having trouble at school because there was so much else going on in her life. She ended up being held back a year to repeat her grade. She was also very open about being gay, which was not very common for a young girl living in a small town in the ‘90s. Melinda was a mere 16 years old when she was involved with Shanda’s murder.

    Who Was Laurie Tackett?
    Mary Laurine “Laurie” Tackett was raised in a strict Christian household in Madison. Both her parents were abusive and child services had been to their house on numerous occasions. Laurie started to self-harm as a young teen, landing herself in hospital many times. Eventually, she was diagnosed with a borderline personality disorder after confessing that she’d had hallucinations ever since she was a child. After being released from the hospital, Laurie ran away from home and went to live with friends in Madison. That is where she met Melinda, and after becoming inseparable friends, she moved to New Albany with Melinda. Laurie was the oldest of the girls, being 17 when she assisted in the murder of Shanda Sharer.

    Who Was Hope Rippey?
    Hope also made friends with Laurie in Madison. Her parents (who were much more involved in her life than the rest of the girls), weren’t happy about the two spending time together as they could tell that Laurie was not a good influence. Their daughter was precious to them, and they didn’t want bad things to come her way simply because of the people she was hanging out with. But they had no idea just how bad things would get. Just like the other two girls, Hope was a self-harmer and identified as gay. She was also the only one in the group that was friends with Toni. The two had been very close friends from a young age. She was just 15 years old when she assisted in the murder of Shanda Sharer.

    Who Was Toni Lawrence?
    Toni was a little different from the rest as she was close friends with Hope, but didn’t know the other two very well. There were reports that stated that Toni was abused by a relative at the tender age of nine. She was also raped by a teenage boy at the age of 14, and there was no justice as the police simply asked the boy to stay away from her. Although Toni started going to counseling after being raped, she stopped going after a short while. This event seemed to be a turning point, changing her into a promiscuous young teenager who engaged in self-harm and even attempted to end her own life when she was only in eighth grade. When she was involved with Shanda Sharer’s murder she was just 15 years old.

    What Was the Original Plan?
    The girls were planning on attending a rock concert on the 10th of June, the night of Shanda’s murder. Toni had never even met Laurie and Melinda, but she was solemn friends with Hope so she was invited along for the ride. When Toni got into the car, Laurie asked Hope, “did you tell her yet?” Laurie responded with, “tell her what?” Laurie told Toni, “we’re going to kill a girl tonight!” Of course, Toni thought it was some sort of strange joke, but unfortunately that wasn’t the case. Then they drove to New Albany to pick up Melinda. When Melinda came walking out of her house, she was carrying a very large kitchen knife. She got in the car excitedly and told the girls she wanted to give this Shanda girl a scare.

    The Three Girls Were Just Along for the Ride
    Out of all of the girls, Melinda was the only one who had ever met Shanda. So when Melinda said she wanted to give the young girl a scare, the others were just going along for the ride. It’s hard to imagine how it escalated so quickly with none of the girls attempting to stop the events of that evening. When the four arrived at Shanda’s house for the first time, Melinda was hiding on the floor of the car as she knew that Shanda would not get in the car if she knew Melinda was there. Shanda had never actually met Toni or Hope before, but she agreed to go along with them in the hopes of seeing her girlfriend Amanda. Unfortunately, the group had other plans for her.

    Toni Started to Have Her Suspicions
    When Shanda told the two girls to come back later, they hopped in the car and all headed to the rock concert they had been planning on attending that night. When it was over, they started to make their way back to Shanda’s house. It was then that Toni started to feel uncomfortable. At this point, Toni started to feel concerned over the events that were going to unfold. Melinda kept talking about how excited she was to kill Shanda, although she kept correcting herself, saying that she just wanted to scare the girl. Toni didn’t like this very much, and because of it, refused to go back to Shanda’s door to lure her to the car.

    An Awful Surprise for Shanda
    Shanda excitedly made her way toward the car as she looked forward to seeing her girlfriend. But when she was in the car, Melinda popped up and grabbed her hair, all while holding a knife to her throat. While Shanda begged Melinda not to hurt her, Melinda coldly said “shut up, b***h!” They then headed to the Witch’s Castle, where Laurie and Melinda started to tie her up. They kept telling her that the place was full of dead people to scare her as if their actions weren’t enough to terrify the young girl. Laurie then lit a t-shirt on fire and told Shanda that soon she would be the one burning. Although none of the girls were likely to believe this at the time, it would turn out to be true.

    What Happened Next?
    Next, the girls took Shanda to the woods. There Laurie and Melinda stabbed her multiple times and strangled her until she was unconscious. They then took her body and put it in the trunk of the car, telling the other girls that she was dead. This was something they probably believed to be true at the time. When they heard sounds coming from the trunk of the car, they realized she must still be alive. Laurie got out of the car and stabbed her a few more times until Shanda was completely silent. That was how poor 11-year-old Shanda was brutally tortured. It’s hard to even imagine the pain she must have endured that night.

    What Did the Girls Do After Committing Murder?
    Laurie and Melinda then dropped Hope and Toni off, before driving around with Shanda in the trunk of their car. Neither of them remember how long they were driving before they picked up Toni and Hope again. With events so gruesome, it’s not hard to believe that the entire night went by in a blur. Laurie and Melinda then wanted to show the other two girls what they had done to Shanda. Although Toni refused to look, Hope did. She then sprayed the body with Windex and said, “You’re not looking so hot now, are you?” What inspired this kind of treatment for a girl she had never even met before that night is incomprehensible.

    The Final Moments of Shanda’s Life
    The girls pulled up to a local gas station and Toni bought a bottle of Pepsi. That seemed to give Laurie an idea as she snatched the bottle, emptied it, and filled it with gasoline. They all hopped in the car and drove down a country lane surrounded by fields. Laurie and Hope hoisted the still barely alive Shanda out of the boot and dumped her body. When the body was in the middle of a field, Laurie poured gasoline on Shanda and set her alight. All four girls then went to McDonald’s. Toni, who never wanted to go along with the idea at all was absolutely hysterical - understandably. It had been a dramatic evening filled with incredibly dark activities. One’s that all the girls would come to regret.

    Melinda Decided to Contact Her Ex
    Melinda and Laurie decided it was time for Hope and Toni to go home. They dropped them off and then decided to call Melinda’s ex, Amanda. Melinda told Amanda about what they had done, but Amanda didn’t believe it. She agreed to meet up with Melinda anyway to find out what was going on. They picked Amanda up and took her to Melinda’s house, where Melinda broke down and told Amanda everything. Amanda couldn’t believe what she was being told, so Melinda showed her the trunk of the car which contained pools of blood, bloody handprints, long dark strands of hair, and one of Shanda’s socks.

    The Body Was Found Almost Instantly
    While the girls had been chowing down burgers at McDonald’s, two brothers had been out hunting quail in the same vicinity that the girls had dumped the body. They stumbled across Shanda’s burnt remains and immediately called the cops. What an unexpected and traumatic find during your early morning hunting session. What the cops realized is that the body wasn’t only horribly burnt and mutilated but it had been placed in a sexual position. This caused them to believe that the young girl had been molested before her death as well. Of course, in the morning Shanda’s dad noticed she was missing and immediately called the cops to report his missing daughter.

    Toni Stepped Forward
    The very next day, Toni walked into the police station with her dad to speak to a detective. She was in hysterics but told the cops absolutely everything about the murder that she never intended to be a part of. This would help her in the long run, but she got off far from scot-free. She told the cops that the girl’s name was Shanda and that she was either 12 or 13. She didn’t remember the times that all these events took place, but she could tell the cops exactly what happened in each location. Leading them through the story from picking Shanda up, going to the Witch’s Castle, heading to the woods behind Laurie’s house, going to the gas station, and then the open field where the cops had found a body that very morning.

    Arrests and Sentencing
    Although the girls were teenagers, they were all tried as adults. Because every single one of the girls admitted guilt, they managed to avoid the death penalty. Laurie and Melinda were given double life sentences, while Hope was sentenced to 35 years in prison. Toni however, got out with only a 20-year sentence. None of the girls served their full sentences, Toni and Hope even managed to get out after just a couple of years. They went on parole before being set free for good. Many of the girls went on to change their names, no longer wanting to be tied to their criminal past. But for Shanda, a night of gruesome torture at the hands of cruel teenagers would be her last day on earth. Do you think that justice was served for this horrific crime?

This caused them to believe that the young girl had been molested before her death as well. Of course, in the morning Shanda’s dad noticed she was missing and immediately called the cops to report his missing daughter. Toni Stepped Forward The very next day, Toni walked into the police station with her dad to speak to a detective. She was in hysterics but told the cops absolutely everything about the murder that she never intended to be a part of. This would help her in the long run, but she got off far from scot-free. She told the cops that the girl’s name was Shanda and that she was either 12 or 13. She didn’t remember the times that all these events took place, but she could tell the cops exactly what happened in each location. Leading them through the story from picking Shanda up, going to the Witch’s Castle, heading to the woods behind Laurie’s house, going to the gas station, and then the open field where the cops had found a body that very morning. Arrests and Sentencing Although the girls were teenagers, they were all tried as adults. Because every single one of the girls admitted guilt, they managed to avoid the death penalty. Laurie and Melinda were given double life sentences, while Hope was sentenced to 35 years in prison. Toni however, got out with only a 20-year sentence. None of the girls served their full sentences, Toni and Hope even managed to get out after just a couple of years. They went on parole before being set free for good. Many of the girls went on to change their names, no longer wanting to be tied to their criminal past. But for Shanda, a night of gruesome torture at the hands of cruel teenagers would be her last day on earth. Do you think that justice was served for this horrific crime? #TrueCrime #Murder #Death #Crime

  • Parking Lot Safety Map
    1. Tunnels
    Tunnels, passageways, and low-lit areas can present low visibility and you should avoid parking next to them. They allow criminals and perpetrators to hide in the darkness while seeking a victim.

    2. Main Entrance
    Park near the main entrance for a safe and easy route to and from your car, and larger volumes of people. Spots close to the entrance are highly desired, so you may have to find the closest spot available to the entrance.

    3. Booth
    The booth is typically one of the safest areas of a parking lot. It is stationed by a booth agent, has the highest volume of entering and exiting cars, and is normally under security surveillance. Find the booth in the parking lot if you are in danger or need help from the agent.

    4. Adjacent Cars
    Try not to park next to adjacent cars or vans that have their windows blacked out, as this is a common method criminals use to abduct unsuspecting victims when they are entering or exiting their vehicles. Also try to avoid parking between two cars, as you can get boxed in by a third car and robbed.

    5. Extra Space
    Find spots in well-lit busy areas near security cameras and with lots of empty parking spaces surrounding them. Open space, illuminated areas, and security cameras are deterrents for criminals.

    Other Parking Lot Safety Tips
    Stay alert when exiting and entering your car by keeping your head on a swivel.
    Lock your doors immediately upon entering your car so anyone following you won't be able to catch you off guard.
    Arm and ready yourself with accessible self defense weapons like kubatons, cat ears, or pepper spray so you can defend yourself in the face of immediate danger.
    Plan your approach and departure by knowing where your car is, having your keys ready, and not lingering in the parking lot.
    Trust your instincts. If someone or a situation feels weird, trust your gut and don't continue. You can call law enforcement or ask the store's security personnel if they can accompany you to your car.

  • Killer whales sometimes hunt moose.
    There’s a reason orcas are better known as killer whales. They’re fierce predators, and they don’t always keep to the water in search of prey — in fact, they’ve even been known to hunt moose. This happens when a member of the largest deer species (yes, moose are deer) wades into the water, either in search of food or to elude land-based predators, and finds itself in the unfortunate position of being near an orca, which will eat pretty much anything. Such occurrences have been known to happen in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, with one recorded incident resulting in the deaths of two moose.

    Orcas are thought to have received their nickname centuries ago, perhaps from a mistranslation. The theory posits that Basque fisherman observed them killing other whales and referred to them as “whale killers,” which became “killer whales” when translated to English. Their diet depends largely on where they live, but different ecotypes feed on everything from fish and seals to sharks and squid, with the occasional moose thrown in.


    No one knows why orcas keep attacking yachts.

    If you’ve read about killer whales in the last few years, it’s probably because they keep sinking yachts. There have been incidents in Cape Finisterre as well as the Strait of Gibraltar, with at least 500 orcas encountering boats since 2020. (Most of these go no further than the whales merely approaching the vessels, perhaps out of curiosity, but a number of them have resulted in sunken boats.) Scientists remain unsure about the whales’ motivations. Some think they’re merely having fun or even participating in a fad, which is apparently something killer whales do — for instance, one pod spent the summer of 1987 wearing dead salmon on their heads. Others believe it’s because they’ve had negative experiences with boats in the past, including losing members of their species to the vessels. Whatever the case, the creatures don’t seem to have personal beef with the humans onboard; there have been zero recorded cases of an orca killing a human in the wild.

  • The gift that kept Marshall’s legend alive.

    The following is a story how the Barking Dog Alarm was utilized.

    Jake felt more than sad when Marshall passed away. He felt worried.

    Marshall was Jake's loyal German Shepherd. For twelve years, he guarded Jake's sporting goods store from would-be thieves and neighborhood troublemakers. Even as the neighborhood got a little more unsafe, Marshall kept the peace.

    Jake's store was the only one on the block without any graffiti. Nobody, it seemed, wanted a run in with a big, angry guard dog.

    Few people knew that Marshall was really a sweetheart, lavishing Jake with kisses every time he'd open the store in the morning.

    Jake's daughter, Melissa, kept the store's books, and paid a visit to her father every Thursday. She knew the old man couldn't afford to install a state of the art security system. But she also knew that he was a little too fragile to try and train another big dog.

    She brought her father a gift on her next visit. "This," she announced proudly, "will keep Marshall's legend alive in the neighborhood."

    She explained to Jake that the Barking Dog Alarm used infrared sensors to watch the store at night, just like Marshall did. When intruders showed up at either the front or the back doors, the Alarm would bark. And it would bark louder and louder until the disturbance went away.

    That Saturday night, two teenage boys strolled up the sidewalk. The midnight streetlight stretched their shadows halfway up the block. They banged and pulled on security gates as they talked about the trouble they could cause.

    "Didn't old man Benson's dog just die?" asked the tall one.

    "I think I heard Billy say something like that," replied the short one, "I could sure use some new sneakers!"

    They hustled up to the front window, but before they could even try to break in, they heard loud barking from inside the store. And it was getting louder.

    "Yo, I thought you said that dog was dead," cried the short hooligan.

    "He must have got a new one," said his partner in crime, "I ain't messin' with no dog!"

    The two juveniles hustled away around the corner as fast as their legs could carry them.

    Marshall's legacy remains intact. He's still a presence in Benson's Sporting Goods, with a picture above the cash register - and the loud bark from the Barking Dog Alarm.

  • She Didn't Count on Her Town's Archaic Rules.

    Cathy always loved the idea of owning her own bed and breakfast by the shore.

    After her husband passed away, she found a note he left for her, encouraging her to follow her dream even though he couldn't share it with her. He had taken out extra life insurance just to surprise her with one final gift, and she invested it in a beautiful Victorian mansion overlooking the beach.

    She didn't count on her town's archaic rules to make life so difficult in that first year. Even though she enjoyed a pretty strong business during the summer, her town council demanded that she provide security for the part of the beach adjacent to her property.

    At first, she hired some guards to roam the premises, but it was hard for them to do their job with the town's light ordinance in place -- no lights on the beach after 11p.m. And she certainly couldn't afford to keep two people on staff year round.

    Wayne, a sympathetic alderman, dropped by for tea one afternoon and shared a little secret. Cathy didn't have to actually patrol the grounds the entire time. He showed her the dummy camera he used at the campground he owned -


    a discreet little device that mounted unobtrusively on the side of a building.

    Wayne's suggestion worked wonders. Cathy could cut back on her overtime payments, and her security team enjoyed a little more sleep.

  • The pinhole camera that showed everything.

    "Another Saturday night," groaned Thomas. He mopped up a mess of spilled beer at the back of his convenience store. Some punk knocked it off the shelf, and then ran out the door without even apologizing.

    As he bent down to pick up the shards of broken glass, a heard what he could swear sounded like snakes hissing. He straightened himself up -- and stared directly into the barrel of a shotgun.

    "You stay where you are, old man, and you stay alive," growled the masked gunman. The gunman glanced at his accomplice, who was spraying black paint over the lens of the security camera behind Thomas' register. The accomplice hopped down from the counter and flashed a thumbs up sign at the gunman.

    The gunman ripped the ski mask from his face and complained. "I hate those things," he said. "I can never see what I'm doing. Now, open up the safe and you get to live."

    Thomas complied, moving behind the counter to enter the manual override combination into his counter safe. He piled all of the evening's receipts into a brown paper bag and passed it along to the thieves. The lead gunman boasted on the way out the door, "You see? When you pick the right place, you can do these jobs in style. No goofy masks and no hurry!"

    Thomas just smiled. As soon as the thieves pulled out of the parking lot, he called 9-1-1. When the detectives asked Thomas to provide a description, he smiled and said, "I can do a lot better than that."

    Everyone in the room stared at Thomas' split-screen security video. They watched the thieves disable the parking lot camera, followed by the blacking out of the two inside lenses. But a 4th frame showed everything that happened that night, especially the unmasking of the robbers.

    "I don't get it," one of the cops said, craning his neck around the room. "They cased this place out and took out the cameras. How'd they miss that one?" Thomas grinned and pointed at the Electrical Box.

    A pinhole security camera peeked out at everyone in the room.

    "That sign does a lot more than show folks the way out of the store," Thomas said. "It shows criminals the way off the streets."

    Sure enough, Thomas captured crystal clear images of the thieves practically staring into the camera. Once those pictures hit the local news, the cops had them both in custody within a matter of hours. They hadn't even had time to spend the money.

    And they looked better with the masks on.

  • The gift that can keep your loved ones safe.

    The following is a story how the Mace Pepper Spray Jogger Model was utilized.

    Bill always worried about his daughter, Josie. She always had that independent streak growing up. The past Thanksgiving, she announced to the family that she would be moving to the big city to work on her acting career.

    When Josie's sister wondered aloud if Josie would keep up her workout routine, Josie assured everyone that she'd still get her three mile walk in every day by strolling through the park. It didn't take long for sparks to fly across the dinner table.

    Bill resolved that he'd support his daughter, no matter what. So at Christmas time, a few days before Josie planned to leave town, he picked up an extra gift.

    "Josie," he said, when he sat her down at the next family gathering, "I'm sorry if it sounded like I wasn't behind you all the way the last time we all were together."

    "I know, Dad," said Josie, "the city's a lot different than this town, and you just want me to be safe."

    "That's right," Bill replied, "so when I heard about these, I thought they might help both of us feel a little better about your move."

    He explained how the Pepper Spray Jogger Mace is ideal for sports and outdoor activities such as running or hiking. It's easy to carry it on your keychain, fasten it with the belt clip or have it in hand with the Velcro-like strap.

    Bill explained to her "Let's say you run into someone who wants to hurt you. Just press this button right here to blast them with pepper spray. They won't be able to do much of anything for a while, so you can run and get help."

    "I know you want to keep the same kind of independence you're used to out here in the country," Bill paused, placing a hand on Josie's knee. "This lets you stay in control, and it'll keep me and your sister from worrying about you on those walks."

    Josie hugged her dad, and settled in for a warm celebration with the rest of her family. This time, everyone knew she could handle living on her own in the big city.

    Dedicated to your Peace of Mind & Real Security,
