Why Would anybody need rope? You can’t hunt with it! (OK you can)
The woman, who is the girl’s foster mother, checked with a neighbor whose daughter often played with Katelynn, but he hadn’t seen her. When she returned home Thursday evening, she found the girl hanged from a tree with an old tire swing rope, deliberately, authorities say, by her 14-year-old half-brother who was charged Friday with murder.
The cotton rope was tied in a simple knot around the girl’s neck, but was not a hangman’s noose, said St. Clair County Sheriff Terry Surles. County Coroner Dennis Russell said an autopsy found the cause of death was homicide due to ligature strangulation.
Just another sick story of wanton murder…but it isn’t a “Gun Death”, so who cares?
