Teen Survives 30 Hours in Woods With Broken Neck; Teacher Accused

[Petunia]

ST. LOUIS — Police believe a high school teacher who moonlights as a pro wrestler attacked a 17-year-old girl and then left her in the woods with a broken neck for than 30 hours before accompanying investigators back to where she lay.

Searchers who spotted Ashley Reeves through driving rain were sure she was dead — until they saw her take a breath. Authorities believe 26-year-old Samson Shelton, a teacher at a different school, tried to kill her a day earlier.

I just don't understand people sometimes.

I hope and pray she makes a full recovery.

Does she have paralysis?

This man needs more punishment then our justice system has the stomach to dish out.

I read the story earlier. One tough girl.

Clarify: If found guilty, this man deserves more punishment then our system will give him.

That's brutal I mean really, I hope she isn't paralyzed.

 

[Billnew]

I was thinking about it.

I was wondering if I would have been less mad, if he had killed her.

But the pain she endured, for a day and a half.

He probably thought he killed her. So I do stand by he won't get the punishment he deserves from court.

I think it would be fair, to tie him to a stake and allow the victim(or representitive) to use a baseball bat as they wanted.

Unreal story that I somehow haven't heard about. Makes me angry.

I pray that the girl makes a full recovery!

God bless her! It really is a miracle she's alive.

It is indeed a miracle and God had a huge, huge, hand in making sure she made it out alive and well!

Wow that is so sad. I pray for her full recovery.
