Virgil County News
Lee Brown, Kevin Brantley, Brenna DuVal, Jared Grayson, Rosi Martinez, Sarah McHale, Richard McMullen, Thomas Nolan, Aiden Strood, and Essie Taylor are all victims of the shooting that took place at Virgil County Highschool. Each with their own story, but which one is right? All have been twisted and turned because of fame. Except one. The one I will expose in this article.
“ I was one of the four girls in that bathroom… I was one of the girls that saw Sarah McHale murdered. They all say she died proclaiming her faith up to the very last minute, but I know that, that’s not what happened.” Lee Brown said in her first interview. “Why would they hold the real story in”?
“Maybe the truths are better left buried. Maybe we should stop it all”. But Lee Brown then Realized it had to get out. She wanted just one more person to get on board. Kellie. If she says her story then it will all be out there. Then she won’t have to hold all the guilt and lies anymore.
The cross necklace they found on the floor was not Sarah’s and the story of her defending her faith is a lie. The necklace was owned by somebody no one would expect. Kellie R. Graynor, who was chased out of town with her family so that Sarah could be the hero. Kellie was unpopular quite and not pleasant to be around. She wore a cross necklace NOT Sarah McMullen!
Finally, after being obsessed for three years Lee Convinced Kellie to tell her story. In other words… the truth. Kellie told everybody about how she was the one wearing the necklace and she was the one defending her faith. Ashley accidentally overheard Kellie saying that and mistook it for being Sarah’s voice, so the rumor spread and it became a fact.
Overall people just wanted to believe that Sarah was a great young martyr who was willing to die for her beliefs. Which is true but it’s the wrong person. Lee and Sarah were just hiding in the bathroom and Kellie happened to be in there. The shooter came and killed Sarah leaving only the nine others to tell the story. It only took three years. Now you know the truth
