Sadly, the rumors are true. The body of the 17 year-old girl Chelsea King was found on Tuesday, March 2 in the creek where she was believed to be running by. To tell you the truth, I was sure they would find her alive. She had a very large group of people supporting her and expecting her to arrive home safely. Unfortunately, the hope was gone on Tuesday.
John Albert Gardner III, a 30 year-old man already spent five years in prison before he was connected with the rape and murder of 17 year-old Chelsea King. Gardner was taken into custody and faced questioning about the disappearance of the 17 year-old.
The most upsetting part of this case is the fact that this man wasn't locked up for life. Gardner being once before a sex offender should not have been let back out on the streets again. ANY sex offender shouldn't be allowed out of jail. I think that they deserve the most harsh punishment by far. It isn't fair to these young girls who aren't able to fight themselves off of these men, especially gardner. He looks to be about 200 or so pounds just in his mugshot. Myself being a runner and enjoying hikes on the mountain; I'm even afraid to go on the mountain by my house back home because of sick people like this.
I am STRONG for John Albert Gardner III receiving the death penalty. You should be too after reading the stories!
