Melissa Runnels’ Cold Case

On June 15,2018 Melissa Runnels, our beautiful daughter, was brutally murdered. Her case is still unsolved. Her body was found behind an abandoned home shot and set on fire. Her body was unrecognizable.Her father, brother, and I (her mother) are seeking the truth. Our lives have changed forever by her loss. We miss her every day. We will not have any more memories of her. We are not putting fault on IMPD detectives. We are hiring a private detective to work on her cold case. We need your help! Any amount to pay for the cost of the investigation can help.

We are asking for your help to bring justice to Melissa. She was a bright young lady. She graduated from college as a medical assistant. She loved animals and was very artistic. She loved her family and friends. She was taken before she even had a chance to live. She was only twenty years old. She would have been 21 the next month.

We will be raising money through Go fund me and other fundraisers. Please help us to get justice for Melissa. We need to stop the killer or killers before they take someone else’s life.

Barbara, Mike, and Scott want to thank you for your support. Please keep sharing her story.
