This lady LaRoche is more evil than I thought.

“
She claimed that two years after Schroeder left, the young woman contacted their business and asked to come back and live with the family.

However, as Schroeder had been dead for two years, this could not possibly be true.

LaRoche also claimed to have heard from Schroeder’s grandmother, who relayed the message that Schroeder moved to Nevada to live with her father.

In 2018, LaRoche sent out a text message claiming Schroder had friended her on Facebook, she was doing well in Nevada, and she had “forgiven them.” “

That's just sick she kept up the ruse of Peggy still being alive all this time.
There's a good chance she came across Peggy's Jane Doe posters on the internet and/or social media, and just stood back and did nothing while she saw hundreds of us over the years trying to give this poor girl back her name. She was holding the ace the whole freakin' time, watching us spin our wheels, I can't be convinced otherwise. This is un-bleeping-believable.

LaRoche's ex-husband, woman jailed with alleged killer take the stand

Looks like Linda's the REAL victim here, guys. And she's got about a billion different stories going. Jesus.

That was pretty much confirmed in early reports. I remember that when the identification and arrest was announced, there were reports that someone submitted a tip saying that Linda had bragged about killing someone years ago and that no one knew who the victim was, so she would get away with it. This woman is truly a piece of work.

GUILTY!!!!!
Racine County cold case, Linda La Roche found guilty

WOW 90 minutes, do you think the jury sat at the table and said, "We all know she's guilty. What's an appropriate amount of time to wait to make it look like we deliberated?"
I'm happy for Peggy and all the others who were victims of Linda. This is their victory.

 

[Triss]

Amazing news! I hope there will be many more cases where the victim gets their name back AND their killer is found and punished. Peggy can finally rest in eternal peace and I'm grateful for that.

A Nurse Took in a Cognitively Impaired Teen, Made Her a Nanny, and Tortured Her for Years Before Killing Her in 1999. Now She’s a Convicted Murderer.

 

[Alleykins]

Wow. The extent of Peggy's torture was inhumane and despicable.

 

[MadMcGoo]

I am hoping for a lengthy sentence.

 

[Cubby]

Any information on a sentencing date?

from the article, a partial list of the torture (including NO drugs in her system)

Her ribs were recently broken and had healed from numerous breaks in the past. She had swelling in her knees and feet from infected wounds; burn marks covered some 25 percent of her body; her throat appeared to be scalded; her left ear had been cut to the point of being permanently deformed; her nose had been broken; her body was covered in bruises; she had been branded; her lip was split open; four lacerations on her scalp had been caused by blunt force trauma; her body bore marks of road rash-like abrasions–likely from dragging. She was also “slightly malnourished.” There were no drugs in her system.
