Kendall Ray: 我今天要讲述一个令人心碎的案件,13岁的Savannah Copeland被谋杀。这个案件仍在发展中,有很多未知之处,但我被Savannah的家人,特别是她的父亲Michael的坚强和爱所感动。我希望通过讲述这个故事,提醒其他父母如何保护孩子,并向Copeland一家表达支持。我也会尽力通过我的基金会Higher Hope为他们提供帮助。社区对这个家庭的支持非常感人,他们希望Savannah的故事能够被更多人知道,并让她的光继续照耀。 Savannah是一个充满活力的小女孩,她喜欢音乐、艺术、恐怖电影和体操。啦啦队让她走出了自己的舒适区,展现了她真正的精神。她有一个双胞胎兄弟和一个哥哥,以及非常爱她的父母。她与父亲的关系尤其特殊,他们性格相似,即使不说话也能彼此陪伴。她的梦想是成为一名法医人类学家,帮助他人。 2024年10月22日,Savannah失踪了。她的父母使用Life360应用追踪她的位置,但她的手机没电了。后来,她的尸体在一条小径上被发现,她被刺伤致死。15岁的Malachiya Lamar Harris被捕,并被控二级谋杀。Malachi是Savannah家庭的熟人,他们曾对他表示同情和关心。 检察官希望将Malachi作为成年人审判,但过程复杂。如果Malachi确实犯下了他所被指控的罪行,他应该承担成年人的后果。这个家庭通过信仰和社区的支持,找到了黑暗中的光明。Michael对Savannah感到愤怒,因为她那晚离开了家,但他并不责怪她。他原谅了Malachi,因为他不想让Malachi的行为控制他的生活。 Savannah的啦啦队、教堂和社区都以各种方式纪念她,表达对Copeland家庭的支持。他们将Savannah遇害的地方改造成一个美丽的地方,供人们享受。社区通过点亮蓝色灯光来纪念Savannah。这个家庭非常感激他们收到的支持。这个案件也提醒我们,我们需要改善心理健康系统,防止类似悲剧再次发生。 Michael Copeland: 我女儿Savannah被杀害了,这对我来说是难以承受的打击。她是一个善良、活泼、充满爱心的女孩,她热爱生活,热爱她的家人和朋友。她那晚离开家,我至今无法理解。我感到愤怒,但我也已经原谅了凶手,因为我不想让仇恨控制我的生活。我感谢社区对我们家庭的支持,他们帮助我们度过了这段艰难的时光。我们把Savannah遇害的地方改造成一个美丽的地方,希望人们能够在这里感受到和平与宁静,记住Savannah善良的灵魂。我们希望通过这个地方,传递爱与希望,让更多人感受到社区的力量。我们也希望政府能够重视心理健康问题,为青少年提供更多帮助,防止类似悲剧再次发生。我们永远不会忘记Savannah,她的爱将永远伴随着我们。

Shownotes Transcript

In 2024, 13-year-old middle schooler Savannah Copeland was stabbed to death by a local 15-year-old boy. Using the tracking app Life360, her parents were able to track her phone which helped in leading them towards her location on a trail in the woods. Instead of a regular memorial on the spot where Savannah was found, her parents wanted to turn the area into a peaceful place in nature for people to enjoy or go to pay their respects.
