MOST WANTED FUGITIVES: CAN YOU HELP?
CHOMP asks for your help in catching the "Bad Guys and Gals." Following are links where you can see the photos and updates of fugitives that need to be captured.
I wish to thank the anonymous tipster who helped solve this senseless murder. May the family and friends of Jennifer Walstrand, much beloved Jennifer, find some peace in knowing what happened.
JENNIFER WALSTRAND REMEMBERED
"I am Jennifer's aunt and I want to thank you for staying on this and for loving Jenny. She was such a beautiful, happy, life-loving person.
I will always remember her as my "Angel Face", laughing and happy, with so much love in her heart for her family and friends. There was absolutely no sense in her death and whoever chose to steal her life needs to be caught and punished severely."
