In 1992, 12-year-old Shanda Sharer was finding her way growing up in Indiana. She dealt with bullying at school that would eventually escalate into one the most heinous murders in the state.

In January 1992, four girls between the ages of 15-17 decided "to teach Shanda a lesson." One of the girls, Melinda Loveless, was jealous of Shanda's new relationship.

The girls went to Shanda’s home late at night and convinced her to leave with them. Over the next several hours, they would torture, sexually assault and beat Shanda to the brink of death before setting her on fire with gasoline. They left her to die on the side of a road.

After the murder, the girls went to McDonald's and giggled because their breakfast sausages reminded them of Shanda's burnt body.

In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the horrific torture and murder of 12 year-old Shanda Sharer.
