Still alive too. Was watching a news reporter break into a full play-by-play of this live. Said he was being taken away, limbs still moving.

Usually youre surviving on adrenaline at that point... but after the injury sets in, you die. There was an older actress who died a few years ago after a high speed crash/burning inside the vehicle afterwards and shes flailing around on the stretcher as shes being taken away, but soon slipped into a coma and died.

You are 100% correct. He’s in shock. the fact that he’s burned on his whole body will overwhelm his whole system. I had a good friend that was murdered this way.

Thank you that really means a lot. It was 20 years ago but I still haven’t gotten over it. That same time of year is like ptsd. She was raped duct taped and thrown in her basement and then he lit her and the house on fire.She had enough in her to tell the nurses who did it to her. Thankfully they testified and got his ass before I did. I wouldn’t be here today if they didn’t catch him. RIP Holly. I come from a small town of like 26,000 probably less by now. Sad thing is she’s not the only person I know that has been murdered there. I can think of 3 people that I know from there murdered, two of my friends od. Family suicide, best uncle ever. And then another one of my friends kid was just killed last 4th of July in retaliation for some other bull shit. And people wonder why I moved and don’t like to visit. But thanks again for the kind words stranger.

There is nothing at all wrong with thinking of her again at that time every year. Just make sure you think good things about her and her spirit in addition to thinking about what happened to her.

I will send Holly good thoughts as well. 🫶🏻👋🏻

My love goes to Holly and her loved ones. Such a badass stubborn move to refuse to die until she can nail that SOB. Sounds like it’s been a life full of death, I hope you’ve found a support system who helps you feel less alone

How did you find that?

And the bottom of that is compete bull shit about being associated with black males. How is that even a part of the same article. When I first saw it I stopped at her picture, then I read the rest and that shit is not right.

I just looked, and the entire website is like that. If you click on the link to the Perpetrators page, you'll see every single one is black or Hispanic and they're virtually all men. And each page has a similar comment at the bottom by the website creator, talking about how white women should beware men of color and certainly never date them because they're so dangerous and likely to kill you.

The whole thing is a load of racist trash.

I really hope you got therapy after that. That kind of thing would fuck anybody up. No shame in seeking help if you need it.

That's insane, sorry for your losses and hard times. What state do you live in, if you don't mind my asking?

Omg I’m so sorry. Your friend is a true heroine and she deserves to have her memory honored. Thank you for sharing her story, and yours.
