Another Case Closed

Imagine if you were struggling for your life, about to die because your friend or your boyfriend thought you stole his drugs. It’s hard to imagine that someone’s life could come to an end because of this. Shannon Fischer’s life ended at the age of twenty three because of a drug called Methamphetamine or also known as meth. It was an unsolved case for four years. Knowing that Shannon’s killer which was her boyfriend, Michael John Burroughs was on the loose is scary, imagine what her family went through, and there are many cases similar to this one.
Michael John Burroughs, Shannon’s boyfriend was from PRAIRIE DU CHIEN, which is not to far from where I live. It is a frightening thought that this man who killed a human being for methamphetamine was free and wondering around for four years. He put Shannon in a choke hold until she stopped breathing, wrapped her body in a blanket and put her in the closet for two or three days. It disgusts me that it took him this long to turn himself in. He is clearly a drug attic that needs help. it is sad that Shannon‘s life ended because of a feining meth attic.
Now that Michael John Burroughs turned himself in, Shannon’s family say they have closure. I can only imagine the relief that they felt after everything they have gone through. It was the right thing for Michael to do because I am not too sure that the police would have solved the case if he didn’t confess to the murder. The police had their suspicions but didn’t have enough evidence to arrest him. He’s off the streets now, which is the most important thing.
I hear many stories similar to this one, of young adults overdosing on drugs or killing another person because of drugs. After reading this article on the paper, I read another article about a young lady about twenty years old who over dosed on meth. Anything drug related is unfortunate and is a sad death.
I only hope that everyone who commits a crime will get the penalty. Michael committed murder due to the fact that he thought Shannon took his bag of meth. He confessed and now he will be getting punished for his foolish actions. Shannon’s family knows the truth and has closure. Even though there are many cases similar to this one, Let’s hope they get what they deserve for their crimes or that they turn themselves in like Michael.
