01x07 - Goth Girl Gone

[bunniefuu]

NYKKY: There was always
that group of girls

that are just
brutally mean in school.

She's like,
"Who the [bleep] is this?"

And pointed at me.

Loyalty meant
a lot to her.

They just welcomed her
with open arms.

She felt like she belonged.

KAYLA: They would come up
with a way to manipulate it.

They were mean girls.

[woman speaking]

It almost seemed like
she was trying to get

out from behind it.

[detective speaking]

[theme music playing]

[music stops]

[distant train whistle blowing]

BRITTANY: Buffalo, Minnesota,
is about 45 minutes

west of the Twin Cities.

You have a mix of people
who have moved from

the outer suburbs
to a little bit more

of a smaller town feel.

KAYLA: Growing up in Buffalo
was difficult,

because everybody
knew everybody.

So if you said something,
that person found out.

If you did something that
somebody didn't like,

they talked about it.

BRITTANY:
Being a teen

in Buffalo,
as a popular girl,

you had it more easy, because
you had parents that were able

to provide everything for you.

So when it came to, like,
their driver's license,

the majority of the girls got
a brand-new spanking car that

was like a Mercedes.

KAYLA: In high school,

there are girls
that play sports.

There's girls
that like anime.

There's girls
that party a lot.

BRITTANY: It depends
what social class you were in

where you fit in,

if you were part of
the popular group,

the kind of in-betweens
or the geeks or the goths.

NARRATOR: And ruling
from the top of Buffalo High's

social pyramid are
the preppy girls.

The preppies,
their parents had money.

So, you know, kids like me --
it was a struggle.

We were picked on for
our clothes not being, like,

Hollister or Abercrombie.

You know, it was just the good
old Miley Cyrus from Walmart

that were cute,

but they just weren't up
to the social standards.

BRYANNA: If the popular clique
passed you,

they would always be
talking to themselves,

laughing about something,
pointing.

You just kind of knew that
they were making fun

of you, and there was nothing
you could really do.

It was
a very judgy place to be.

NARRATOR: Quirky 14-year-old
Cheyenne Clough and her besties

are certainly not part
of the preppy crowd.

BRITTANY: Personally, I think
our friend group were just

kind of the middle men,

the we're good
but not good enough,

and had a good mixture
of people and personalities

that could fit in any of
the social tiers.

I remember Cheyenne
being more of a floater.

She made a lot of different
friends from a lot of

different groups,
and I remember

her being at
a lot of parties I was at.

BRITTANY: She liked to be
a social butterfly.

She wasn't like
one of those people

that need to be the center
of attention.

She was okay with, like,
taking a step back.

But if she sees someone
struggling with something

or someone getting bullied,

she's always gonna be
the first one there to stand up

for them.

NARRATOR:
But Cheyenne finds herself

a favorite target
for the preppy squad.

BRITTANY: They would just make
snide comments or remarks

about what she's wearing,

what's in her hair, what
her hair looks like that day.

They would make rude, snide
remarks about her weight,

because her jean size
was not a size zero.

NYKKY: There's always that group
of girls that are just

brutally mean in school,
and she did get bullied a lot.

They would make fun of her
for having eczema.

She had it really bad.

They called her "Hamburger Head"
and "Snakeskin."

BRITTANY:
It cut her deep.

It brought her
down a dark hole,

but we all helped
pull her out of it,

and she pulled herself out,

NARRATOR: Cheyenne stands
her ground, refusing to be

bullied by a pack of
mean girls.

She got to this point
where she would

sometimes snap back and say
something really smart,

and they didn't know how to
respond to that,

because nobody would talk back
to them like that.

BRITTANY: She'd be like,
"If you really have a problem,

we can take this up after
school gets out.

I don't think she actually
ever beat 'em up,

but it would kind of take them
by surprise.

They realized that
she wasn't somebody

to pick on anymore.

NARRATOR: Cheyenne's battles
with the mean preppy girls make

her especially devoted
to her circle of friends.

Loyalty meant a lot to her.

And it was more if you can't
be truthful and honest,

how can I trust you
to have my back

when I need you
to have my back?

NARRATOR:
Then Cheyenne discovers boys,

which changes everything.

One day,
Cheyenne came to me

and said she had
something to tell me,

and she told me
that she was pregnant,

and I was the first person
that she had told.

She was 15,
and that is

young to have a kid,
and we were

worried about if she was ready
for that or not.

And she was just super excited
about it, because

it would be a big
life-changing moment for her.

NARRATOR: But her pregnancy
takes the bullying

to a whole new level.

BRITTANY: The preppies were
whispering about it at school.

That caused her to bring it
to social media and be like,

"Yes, I am pregnant,"

and then you had all
the backlash of all the people

of like, "Are you kidding me?

You're gonna go nowhere with
your life," and people would try

to speculate
who the baby daddy was

and acted like it was
the worst thing in the world.

NYKKY:
Cheyenne was devastated

when her and her son's father
broke up,

because she thought they were
gonna get married and,

you know, live happily
ever after and be a family.

BRYANNA:
Cheyenne lived at her mom's.

She and her mom were trying to
raise the baby, and I believe

they just had disagreements
on how to raise him.

NYKKY:
She just adored him,

but it got to a point where
she decided that she should not

be the full-time caregiver
for her son.

And Cheyenne kind of took it
upon herself to leave

and just let her mom raise her
son how she wants to raise him.

NARRATOR: But the high school
dropout is determined

to build a better life
for herself

and her young son.

She works retail
and restaurant jobs

and finds a place to live

in small town Maple Lake,
just outside Buffalo.

Her new housemates, two young
women and their boyfriends,

include boy crazy


She thought she was super nice
and super personable.

I know Callie
didn't have a job.

And she craved

male attention.

BRYANNA: She lived there
with her boyfriend, Shawn.

I think she was just trying to
be who she wanted to be.

Things between Callie
and Cheyenne were

going really good
at the house.

I started seeing posts
on Cheyenne's Facebook.

She would post pictures
of herself and Callie.

BRYANNA:
Cheyenne felt welcome,

and I think Callie
had a lot to do with it.

NARRATOR:
In the cozy house,

Cheyenne also grows close
to another roommate,

Natasha Brandenburger.

They all just
kind of clicked.

Tasha was originally a nurse
at the Buffalo Hospital,

but she was also someone that
did tattoos, and Cheyenne was

wanting just a little tattoo
that Natasha could do for her.

Was interesting, honestly,
to watch the friendship bloom.

NARRATOR: For the first time
since leaving high school,

like she has a new

and devoted friend group.

They just welcomed her
with open arms.

She felt like she belonged,
she felt safe,

she felt supported.

NYKKY: They basically
called themselves a family,

and they would all

look out for each other,
and they said they would

always encourage each other to
do good things in life,

and they would never turn
their backs on each other.

[train whistle blows]

NARRATOR: There's only
one problem -- since Natasha

and Callie's boyfriends
also live at the house,

singleton Cheyenne
feels a little left out.

So she finds her own man,
a bad boy,


Devon had a troubled past with
being in and out of jail.

I heard something
about a stolen car.

BRYANNA: And I was told
that he was in a g*ng also.

Some people
thought it was a lie.

Some thought it was real.

Cheyenne never complained
about it.

She was blinded by love.

Cheyenne did
confide in me sometimes

about him being a*usive
to her.

BRYANNA: I think
she just wanted to believe

that he was still a good guy.

But as --
as friends looking in,

we saw it the complete
opposite way.

We were all worried
about her ending up dead.

NARRATOR: After high school days
plagued with mean girl moments,

Cheyenne Clough is enjoying
a love fest with her housemates,

Callie Anderson
and Natasha Brandenburger.

She just thought they were

the coolest people ever
to hang out with.

I can understand why it would
feel welcome for her, going

through a lot of the things
that she did go through.

I can understand
why that was so

important to her
to feel like she belonged.

NARRATOR: But as the new girl,
she needs

to remember her place in
the household hierarchy,

with the oldest couple,
Natasha's boyfriend,

and, by extension,
Natasha, at the top.

BRYANNA: Justin's role
in the house was the master,

I guess -- he just didn't
like if you didn't listen.

So he just kind of had that
leader aspect of the house.

And Natasha
definitely got her power

from Justin,

and so she automatically
inherited

the leadership role of
the females.

So people would just
fall in line with that.

NARRATOR: At first, Natasha
and Justin approve of Cheyenne's

new relationship with bad boy,
Devon Boyles.

But soon, they too
begin to see some red flags.

Cheyenne and Devon
were almost inseparable.

They had to do almost
everything together.

He was protective, you know,
over the things that she did.

And if, you know, there was
something that he didn't like,

he, you know,
would always go with her

to make sure
that she was safe.

He didn't trust a lot
of people.

Cheyenne also never introduced
me to Devon, because she had

already confided in me about
him being a*usive to her,

and she knew how protective
I was of her and she didn't,

you know, want me to do
anything crazy to him,

because she just didn't want
to have

a later argument
with him over it.

So she did her best to make sure
me and him never crossed paths.

BRYANNA: After a while,
it kind of became clear to me

that he was more trying
to control the things

that Cheyenne was doing versus

just being there for her.

There were certain things that
she would want to do,

and he would basically, "No,
you're not gonna do that."

I think it -- it could have went
really south if

she didn't listen to
what he wanted her to do.

NARRATOR:
Devon may be dangerous,

but Cheyenne's new posse are
keeping a close eye on her.

They all lived together like
a family, and she, you know,

really felt in her heart that
they would always look out for

her no matter what.

NARRATOR: They also keep
each other's secrets.

And party girl, Callie,
it turns out is full of those.

BRYANNA: Callie had a warrant
out for her arrest for as*ault,

and she had gone to jail
previously for it but

got out on bail, and she missed
her bail hearing.

And from what
she had told me,

there was a night that Cheyenne
learned that Callie

was setting up,
I would say dates

on a dating app.

But when she would meet up
with these men,

she would take
the money and run.

Callie tried to get Cheyenne

to do it too, but she didn't
want any part of it.

NARRATOR: After refusing
to catfish with her,

the dynamic in the house
starts to shift, as Cheyenne

gets a dose of Callie's
hidden mean girl.

NYKKY: Callie talked down on her
or would say, you know,

"You're just here
so you can do stuff for us."

Cheyenne would talk to me,
you know, like, "Hey,

"they're mad at me because
I didn't do something.

So now everyone's looking
at me like I'm an outsider."

You know,
it would really bother her.

NARRATOR: Complicating
dynamics even further,

Cheyenne becomes jealous
of the time

Callie and Queen Bee
Natasha spend with each other.

BRYANNA:
I think Callie got more of

Natasha's attention just
because Callie was there

most of the time.

When Cheyenne was away to be
with her son, not saying that

Cheyenne and Natasha
didn't get along,

but Callie and Cheyenne would
go hang out in one room

and be with each other.

And then later on, Natasha
and Cheyenne would go hang out.

So it would almost be
like they weren't

all hanging out at
the same time, but separately.

NARRATOR: The girl drama prompts
Cheyenne to spend even more

time with Devon, hanging out
together at the house,

which angers
the other two couples.

The whole dynamic
was a recipe for disaster.

I do think
something was bound to happen.

[indistinct radio chatter]

NARRATOR: Wright County
paramedics arrive

at a disturbing scene.

They found a young female
who was laying head down

in the park.

It appeared to
the first responders

that she was deceased,

and then a Wright County
sheriff's deputy was

able to determine that
the female was still alive.

The injuries that she had,

that was a concern of law
enforcement was what appeared

to be b*llet holes

to her back
and to the back of her head.

BRIAN: She was taken to
Buffalo Hospital

and was later airlifted to
an extreme trauma hospital.

JOE: I first got involved
because it just didn't

sound like your typical
kind of call

that you get in
the morning in that area.

We don't normally have
bodies being

reported as being found
in parks.

BRIAN:
With a canvass of the area,

we learned that approximately
early morning hours,

somewhere between two
and three o'clock,

some residents heard a female
screaming and also heard what

they believed
to be shots fired.

NARRATOR: The victim
is soon identified as


I was at work like
I would be on any normal day.

My mom had called me

and asked me to meet her

at North Memorial Hospital,
and I asked her why,

what was going on,
and she told me

Cheyenne had been shot.

I just remember I was going,
like, 100 miles an hour

on the highway, trying to just
hurry up and get there.

BRITTANY: I clicked on
the news article.

It struck me,
because it was so close to home.

And I literally said, "I hope
it's somebody I don't know."

And then Kayla messaged me,
and she goes,

"It's Chey," and I just kind of
dropped my phone,

and all the memories
over the years came in,

and I felt guilty, because
she just messaged me, like,

a week and a half prior
wanting to hang out,

and I couldn't hang out,

because I had to go
to work the next day.

I remember thinking...

she had to make it.

She had to, 'cause...

she didn't deserve that.

NARRATOR: As doctors work
to save her life,

police interview
Cheyenne's family.

So Cheyenne's mom told us that,
in the hours before we found

her in Crow Springs Park,

Cheyenne made a phone call to
her at approximately 2:45 AM.

Her mom didn't
answer the phone,

but she left a voicemail
saying that

she's on her way home
and gonna be there soon.

We didn't have any other
real information

as to who was taking her home.

NYKKY: While I was in
the hospital with Cheyenne,

the detectives
were asking me questions,

like if I knew
if Cheyenne had

any enemies or if I knew of
anyone who would want to

hurt her.

I remember just trying to
think who could have did this.

Why would they have done it?

My first thoughts were Devon.

So when the cops did show up,

I did say that she had been

spending a lot of
time with Devon.

NYKKY: I told them I was
wondering why I couldn't get

ahold of him,
and I'm like, he has to know

something, because him
and Cheyenne were inseparable.

NARRATOR: While police
search for Devon Boyles,

family and friends point them

in the direction of
another guy

Cheyenne dated about a year
after her baby's father left

and until around
the time she moved

into the house
in Maple Lake.

BRYANNA: I told them that
his name was Darrian Edwards.

He was a great person
towards her and her son,

but, at one point,
their relationship changed.

NYKKY: I did, like, mention this
to the detectives.

I only met him a few times,

but I know Cheyenne really
loved him, like, they were

together for quite a while
and were really close.

They did have, you know,
their arguments.

So when they did break up,

they were also
not on great terms.

BRIAN: Darrian Edwards
was brought in as a person

of interest,
and they learned

he and Cheyenne had
broken up approximately

a year ago and that he did not
have any contact with her

and even blocked her
from Facebook.

NARRATOR: But Edwards has
an intriguing piece of

information to share about
the whereabouts of Cheyenne's

current boyfriend.

BRIAN: He stated that
he was working with

a bounty hunter who had
arrested Devon Boyles.

The arrest was at the house in
Maple Lake on May 31, 2016,

which was the day before
Cheyenne was found.

We went down to the jail,

and we spoke
with Devon Boyles.

I told him
that Cheyenne had suffered

g*nsh*t wounds, and she was
in critical condition.

I asked him where he had been
and when he was arrested.

BRIAN: The timing of Devon
Boyles being arrested over at

the house in Maple Lake
and taken to jail

removed him as a suspect in
the sh**ting of Cheyenne,

because he was in custody
at the time she was shot.

NARRATOR: Investigators race
to the house in Maple Lake

to speak to Natasha
and the other occupants.

We wanted to talk to
the people that had

last seen Cheyenne
before we found her

in Crow Springs Park,
but there was nobody

in that place,
it was vacant

and looked like
it had been left in a hurry.

NARRATOR: The house in Maple
Lake that Cheyenne shared with

Natasha Brandenburger

and Callie Anderson is
deserted, but a thorough search

yields some troubling finds.

JOE:
It was a complete disaster.

There were b*llet holes
in the wall.

We were finding shell casings
for a .22 on the ground.

And the police were
very interested in this,

because they knew that

Cheyenne had been shot
with a firearm in the park.

JOE:
In the back room,

there was an ID

for Natasha Brandenburger --
since there might have been

some ill will
between her and Cheyenne,

she was one
that we wanted to talk to.

So we ultimately put out
a BOLO to

locate Natasha Brandenburger
and her boyfriend,

Justin Jensen.

We asked Cheyenne's friends
to see if there was any

issues between Cheyenne and
the people living in the house.

NARRATOR: And her closest
friends have a lot to say

about Cheyenne and her new
not-so-nice besties.

I think Callie and Natasha

played with Cheyenne's
emotions and feelings.

They were mean girls.

NARRATOR: Natasha once made
her feel like a sister,

but now Cheyenne
and her guests

feel unwelcome
in her own home.

Natasha, I met her once.

I was hanging out
with Cheyenne

and Justin,
and Natasha walked in,

and she's like,
"Who the [bleep] is this?"

And pointed at me.

And she's like,
"What's this wh*re doing here?"

And they're like,
"What?"

She said, "I don't want her
here," and they're like,

"Why?
You don't even know her."

And then she told them
that she wanted me out.

And then after that, she slammed
Justin's bedroom door.

I was just like, "Uh, okay.
What the [bleep]?

I don't even know you,
but all right, cool."

BRYANNA: Sometimes,
Justin and Natasha

would be talking
to Shawn and Callie,

and Cheyenne would be

coming back from being
at her mom's with her son,

and Natasha would be saying
some nasty comment

about Cheyenne,
that she's a part-time mom,

with Cheyenne
being within earshot.

Just not very nice.

And I think Cheyenne just felt

really hurt, because she
thought she belonged.

BRIANNA:
I think it affected Cheyenne,

because Natasha was two-faced,
because, like --

because I'd be hanging out
with, and she'd be showing me

text messages from Natasha,

and, like, her saying she has
a big head and she's just

a b*tch, but then, like,
she tried to just be

best friends and act like
nothing happened to Cheyenne.

NARRATOR:
But being a b*tch doesn't

mean you shot your friend.

Two days after Cheyenne was
found in the park, police get

word that a vehicle associated
with Natasha and her boyfriend,

Justin, was caught on camera
north of Minneapolis.

JOE: We found out that there
was video at a gas station

involving
this Chrysler 300 that

we were looking for, where
a white Honda pulls up next to

it at the gas pump.

The driver got out to speak

to the person driving
the Chrysler 300.

BRIAN: He was identified as
a man named Ed Zelko.

And the video
from the gas station shows

Justin Jensen with Natasha
Brandenburger walking a dog.

And then Zelko and Benson

and Callie Anderson
were in Ed's Chrysler 300.

And that's when
we knew that they

were now traveling
in two different vehicles.

BRIAN: The police figured out
where the suspects were going,

in part from a photo that

Justin Jensen sent via
Facebook message to someone who

lived in
the International Falls area,

with him sitting on a couch,
holding a weapon in

one hand and a stack of cash
in the other hand.

So the police suspected they
were fleeing

to International Falls,

which is directly on
the border with Canada.

[hospital monitor beeping]

NARRATOR: As authorities
race to track down

her so-called friends,

Cheyenne has taken off
life support.

NYKKY: June 4th really
took a toll on my family.

We just stayed up all night,

talking about memories
about Cheyenne

as we sat by her bedside,
and...

you know, had a lot of laughs,
had a lot of cries.

She just had so much life
still ahead of her.

BRITTANY: I felt very
disappointed, very, very angry,

because there was gonna
be a little boy

who grew up
without his mom, and...

the hole...

that was left from her.

And just knowing that I never
get to talk to her again.

I'd never get to see her.

And...

[sniffles]

Thank you.

BRYANNA: I was devastated.
I...

I --
there's no other word.

[voice breaking]
I was devastated.

She made a bigger impact
in my life than

I thought she ever would.

She was just
one of those friends

that she always
had your back.

The thoughts that
were going through my mind

was who could have
done this?

Why would they do it?

Because she just didn't have
a mean bone in her body.

NARRATOR: As Cheyenne's friends
and family struggle

to cope with their loss,

police now have a homicide
on their hands.

They locate the house of

Justin's associate in
International Falls.

JOE: The Kandiyohi County
Sheriff's Office ended up

drafting a search warrant
for that residence.

When they ex*cuted that
warrant, they found at

that location Justin Jensen,
Natasha Brandenburger,

Callie Anderson,
and Shawn Benson.

NARRATOR: All four are
arrested on suspicion

of m*rder and held
for questioning,

but without concrete evidence
connecting anyone to the crime,

Detective Adams and his partner
rush upstate,

knowing that their case

depends on them getting
a confession out of someone.

JOE: Detective Lindquist
and I came up with

a game plan as to who we would
talk to first.

And we figured Callie Anderson
may have had the most

minimal involvement,

but she may have known what
happened since she had been on

this road trip with them,
thinking she would have

information that
they had talked about.

So we interviewed her first.

NARRATOR: Callie says the last
time she saw her close friend,

Cheyenne, was the night
before they left for

International Falls,

Right after Cheyenne's boyfriend
was arrested at the house.

Callie told us that there had
been a disagreement at

the home in Maple Lake between
Natasha Brandenburger

and Cheyenne.

She said that after Devon
had been turned

in to the bounty hunters,

Cheyenne believed that Natasha
had made that call.

So in turn, Cheyenne
was pretty upset about this.

[buzzing noise]

JOE: But ultimately,
she didn't have any other real

information as to
who took Cheyenne home,

how she got home.

The second interview
we conducted

was with
Natasha Brandenburger.

We felt that it was important
to figure out the nature

of what the argument was
between her and Cheyenne

before the sh**ting.

She pretty much came out
and said that she's done.

It seemed like she wanted to

tell the truth
about what happened.

It almost seemed like
she was trying to get out

from behind it.

NARRATOR:
Queen Bee Natasha,

now a suspected k*ller bee,
says that the day before

the m*rder,
Cheyenne was at the house

with her boyfriend,
Devon Boyles,

when suddenly a man stormed in
and arrested him.

Natasha told us that after
Devon had been turned into

the bounty hunters,

Cheyenne believed that
she had made that call.

NARRATOR: Afraid that Cheyenne
will throw her under

the bus for her outstanding
as*ault warrant,

Callie joins the confrontation.

So the three
of them are now all mad

at each other, and they start
physically fighting.

And that's when Justin Jensen
arrives home,

and he breaks up the fight
between them.

Ultimately, the decision was
made that Cheyenne needed to go.

So Justin asked Brandenburger
to get the g*n,

which was the .22 p*stol.

He said it was sitting
by the chair on the floor.

NARRATOR: Justin passes it
on to Callie's boyfriend,

Shawn,
who's with Eddie Zelko,

that third guy who had been
spotted on that gas station

video talking to Justin.

On their way
to taking Cheyenne home,

she made a phone call to her
mom at approximately 2:45 AM.

She left a voicemail
saying that she's

on her way and gonna
be there soon.

NARRATOR: But Cheyenne
never made it to her mom's.

[voice breaking]
Shawn shot Cheyenne.

Natasha Brandenburger
indicated that when Ed Zelko

and Shawn Benson returned to
the Maple Lake home,

that Shawn Benson gave a signal
to Justin Jensen indicating

that Cheyenne Clough
had been shot.

JOE:
They go into Justin's bedroom,

and Natasha overhears what
they're talking about, and it

becomes quite apparent that
Benson shot Cheyenne,

believed to be with the g*n
that she had picked up on

the floor of the house
and given to Justin.

NARRATOR:
In her story,

Natasha, perhaps through
crocodile tears,

does everything she can

to remove herself
from the m*rder scene.

Yes.

NARRATOR: Natasha Brandenburger
sells out boyfriend Justin

and the rest of
her so-called family

from the house
to save her own skin.

During his interrogation,
Justin confesses to his role in

the m*rder and tells police
why Cheyenne was k*lled.

He talked about basically
giving the order to

Ed Zelko and Shawn Benson
to execute Cheyenne.

He said she was too much
trouble, and she was threatening

Callie to be arrested,

which also angered Shawn Benson,
who was Callie's boyfriend.

NARRATOR: The m*rder weapon
is never recovered.

Justin Jensen, Shawn Benson,
and Edward Zelko

plead guilty to second-degree
intentional m*rder

and are sentenced with

Despite their ongoing
bullying of Cheyenne

and their as*ault
on her that night,

mean girls, Natasha and Callie,
avoid charges in the m*rder.

We didn't have
any overt acts or evidence

to charge Natasha Brandenburger
or Callie Anderson,

and candidly, we needed
witnesses to tell us

what happened,

and Natasha Brandenburger
provided

the only statement
that implicated Jensen.

So we had to make a choice,
which was honestly

an easy choice, to use Natasha
Brandenburger as a witness.

She appeared before
the grand jury and testified.

The subsequent statement
of Callie Anderson

was also used to implicate
those individuals.

NARRATOR: For Cheyenne's family
and friends, justice is served,

but only in part.

They feel the full truth
about who really

wanted Cheyenne dead
is a lot more complicated.

The way
they had presented it is

that Justin was
the mastermind behind it all.

And then I heard also
that Natasha had taken

a plea deal.

I almost feel sometimes that
she was more the mastermind,

because if it wasn't
for her saying,

"Do something about her,"
Cheyenne could still be

here right now.

NARRATOR: While the men
pulled the trigger,

the women may have pulled
the strings.

I believe she could have

prevented this all 100 percent
from happening.

Natasha, I hold her
very responsible.

I would label her
as the two-faced friend

and not somebody
you could trust,

and I don't think you could
ever trust her.

After she was released,

I ran into her,
and I said,

"I can't believe you have
the audacity or the guts to show

your face around this town when
everybody knows what you did."

NYKKY: Natasha and Callie
are worse than the mean girls

you would experience
in school for

the simple fact
that the mean girls,

they're honest with you for the
fact that they don't like you.

Natasha and Callie are
the complete opposite.

They lied,
they manipulated Cheyenne,

and pretended to be
somebody that they weren't.

NARRATOR: Cheyenne trusted
the wrong women

and paid the ultimate price.

NYKKY: Cheyenne was
my number one supporter

in anything I did in life.

She was always
someone I could go to.

No matter what, she was,
you know, my ride or die.

BRITTANY:
Cheyenne was

the light in
everybody's world,

so full of life
that was cut short.

KAYLA: If I could
talk to Cheyenne now,

I want her to know
I'd be proud of her

for sticking up for
herself till the very end....

and that I love and miss her.
