UPDATE: In less than 12 hours our Crime Junkies raised enough money to have Michelle’s remains moved! Kara has applied for a permit with the funeral home and she hopes to have the move completed in 3-5 months. All money raised over the $4,000 that was needed will be donated to OASIS Women’s Shelter, a local domestic violence program in the area where Michelle lived for battered women and their dependent children.
