Not sure why this one breaks my heart so much? All of the FB pictures of Courtney, her daughter and the man that took it all away just make it unreal. Seems like there was once so much happiness and now it's just heart retching. Her BF needs to rot in jail! :jail: RIP CC :heartbeat:

I can not fathom what would drive someone to do something so horrific. It's completely senseless. Glad she was found so that those that murdered her can be punished. She was a beautiful woman, may she rest in peace.

*~Aimee~* · Dec 20, 2013

My family know some of her relation. (My husband worked with her uncle Dave in fact.) This is just to close to home. Such a sad day!! No where is safe any more

sounds to me that someone led LE to her.

The body was found at 11 a.m. Friday along the Illinois River shoreline near the Joe Page Bridge in Greene County.

Lt. Scott Golike of the Alton Police Department said at a news conference Friday that police received a lead the body was near the bridge and pursued it. The search was done with the help of the U.S. Coast Guard, the Alton Fire Department, the Greene County Sheriffs Office and other agencies helped in the search.

From you link above Aimee

The murder charges are two versions of the same acts. They both claim the suspects strangled and slit the victim’s throat. Golike said police believe she was killed on the same day she went missing.

The dismembering charge claims they severed the victim’s arms, legs and head. The concealment charge claims they concealed her body in the trunk of a vehicle.

Why on earth would they do something like this to someone? I just cannot understand this at all.

*~Aimee~* · Dec 21, 2013

I totally agree and from everything I can see she was a very nice person. I don't understand it either.
