Did anyone know the real victim Missy Avila?


Just curious.

reply

No I didn't know Missy but I went to school with her brother Chris. I got meet Karen on a couple occassions and she seemed like the Bully type. My thoughts are with the family.

reply

No, but according to the book, Missy was not the perfect angel she was potrayed as in the movie. The movie even made a point of saying she did not use drugs, but according the the book, Missy did.

I just have to wonder why they could not potray her more accurately.

reply

I think it's because the writer thought that people wouldn't feel so much sympathy if they knew Missy had a few behavioral problems. It's kind of sick if you think about it. Just because she made some mistakes doesn't mean she was a bad person or deserved to die.
