My daughter was friends with Justin. I got a call from her. She was hyperventilating. She was babbling. She was in shock. I got home as quickly as l could. So many kids, were reacting the same way.
Evil spread it’s wings and changed the lives of Justin’s families forever. I can’t imagine what that family has suffered.
Melanie & Lisa (she was friends with Leah) still talk about Justin and all that happened. Evil stole it’s way into the minds & hearts of those who did this. It’s not something you ever forget.
I hope your lives are good, Mello’s. Always one of the flock missing. May you feel love & joy and May you feel some peace in knowing, Justin is still making an impact, in his classmates lives.

Hope you know that this piece was published in 2000, and a follow up piece about Baumann’s confession was published in 2001, also available in the archives: http://www.mitchalbom.com/no-easy-answers-in-mellos-murder/

This has been fixed. The full article–it was a special series so it was very long–should now be visible

hope u know that Dennis Bryan and David Baumann had the gun used to kill Justin Mello and his wallet on them when they were arrested. this case is already confusing enough without blatant misrepresentation of facts.
