Body of Missing Brenna Machus Found in Woods Not Far from Her Work at Family Dollar Store Where She was Abducted

 

Just terrible new to report in the case of missing Brenna Machus …

The body of 20 year old Brenna Machus was found in the woods on the bank of a river about a couple of miles east of the Family Dollar store where she was abducted and her coworker was fatally shot in the head. Brenna Machus went missing on Monday, July 15, 2013 after an apparent robbery at the Family Dollar in Dearborn, Michigan. Her fellow employee Joseph Orlando was found dead in the store. The store’s surveillance video captured images of the suspect, who waved as he walked into the Family Dollar store Monday night. The  police hope that someone will recognizes the suspect caught on video. An autopsy is scheduled for Friday at the Wayne County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Orlando, 20, was found dead in the store by employees arriving for work Tuesday. The store was in disarray and there was no sign of Machus, but her car was parked in the store parking lot.

      Working retail in a small store is becoming more and more dangerous. Especially is this true in cities where large numbers of people are out of work.

      We have a whole class of people who have not learned to behave themselves. This is a prime example of such behavior.

      How sad that these 2 young people who were trying to make a living suffered this fate. To those idiot congressmen who have worn hoodies to protest George Zimmerman: please look at the tape of the killer. Looks like a hoodie to me.
