Mindy Morgenstern was a senior attending the Valley City State University in North Dakota and came from a farming family that resided almost 200 miles to the West in Little Blue Salem. She lived off-campus in an apartment building close to her university, a place surrounded by law enforcement officers which guaranteed her safety as she lived alone.
She was described as a happy soul, generous with advice, and always willing to stand by her lfriends, the traits everyone needs in a friend. She was considered the more responsible one among her friends, one of whom was Tony Bauman who was in a fix and needed Mindy.
On the night of September 13th, 2006, Tony was out with another friend named Danielle and the problem was that her boyfriend didn’t like her hanging out with other girlfriends. And as he started calling her, Tony came up with a cover story.
Unlike her other girlfriends, Mindy was the safe and trustable friend, but Tony’s boyfriend felt that something was up, so he asked to speak to Mindy, who wasn’t there. The two had no choice but to get Mindy from her apartment to keep their cover story intact.
As they were going to her apartment, they tried to call her and get her ready, but she wasn’t picking up
When they reached her apartment around 1 a.m., Danielle stayed in the car while Tony went to her apartment, only to find something sinister had happened.
