Justice Delayed, Not Denied: The Puzzling Case of Mischelle Lawless The case of Mischelle Lawless, a 19 year old murdered in Missouri nearly two decades ago, serves as a stark reminder that justice can be a slow and arduous process.
The investigation into her brutal killing, re examined by the true crime series "48 Hours," raises more questions than answers about law enforcement's effectiveness and the psychological toll on those left behind.
Mischelle's diary entries paint a picture of a cheerful young woman who was "fearless" according to her friend Melissa Gaines.
