Teen strangled, slit 9-year-old's throat
***NOTE*** Comments on this entry have been shut down -- too contentious and straying off-topic.
Corrie Wood would have turned 29 today. On Friday, September 19, she decided to celebrate her birthday early. She was joined in celebration by her boyfriend and others.
The following morning, her boyfriend found Corrie dead in her home. Though the final results of her autopsy haven't come back yet, police in Grant, Nebraska say Corrie was beaten to death.
Police say she was the victim of a homicide.
At the moment, that's just about all that's been reported about Corrie's death.
She was born on September 22, 1979 and died on September 20, 2008. Those are the dates given by one of Corrie's friends on her MySpace profile. The friend left a comment today that also said, "Happy birthday Corrie... rest in peace [...] Love you and miss you always."
Here was how Corrie introduced herself to profile readers under "About Me":
It's all about me! haha just kidding, actually if you know me I'm really not but anyway lets see. I live in Grant with my boyfriend Scott and my fabulous 4 year old daughter, she has blonde hair and blue eyes, and she facinates me. She is a little tornado, but I love her to death, someone once told me that I would get my payback as a mother for all the stuff I put my parents through and I definetly think I have met my match in her. She is awesome though and I can't imagine life without her. We also have a 3 year old son, Wyatt that has recently come to live with us, a boy and a girl 9 months apart, our life is crazy. But Wyatt is the cutest little boy I have ever seen and I love seeing the difference between the way boys and girls do things. Life is good. .. .. ;
Corrie's profile also gave her details -- she was in a relationship, about 5'6" and slender, a Virgo, a proud parent, and a business owner. She did not say that she owned the company, but the business she listed as employment was Acousti Construction.
Corrie had posted one entry on her MySpace blog, in 2006, a bit of a ramble about monogamy. She was all for it, and was "irritated" by people who thought that humans were not naturally inclined to having only one long-term partner.
Still, her profile could only provide a small glimpse into moments and random thoughts from the woman whose birthday celebration apparently ended in violence and death. For now, the most profound words found there come from friends who have come to begin mourning Corrie, when they should have been leaving birthday wishes. Friends like Kristi, who wrote, in part: "I'm going to miss you so much. You were the first person to be my friend when I moved to Imperial [...] I will never forget you and I will love you always."







Two things I noticed on her MySpace profile.
1) The boyfriend, Scott, has two tear-drop tattoos under his eye. (Lots of other tattoos too, but the tear-drops usually have some significance -- especially if the tattooee has been in prison.)
2) The song she has set to play... if you listen closely, the lyrics say, "There's a ghost in me that wants to say I'm sorry. That doesn't mean I'm sorry." The lyric repeats several times throughout the song.
I wish we could figure out how recently the song was changed. I looked up her song history and her last song was Kid Rock's big hit this summer. Quite different than the British techno she's playing now.
Posted 09/23/2008 at 01:58:11 AMLooking through her pictures on Myspace made me unbelievably sad. Corrie was around my age, and seems so vibrant in her pictures. And she leaves behind a truly gorgeous little girl. I hope they find out what went so horribly wrong after her birthday celebration.
Posted 09/23/2008 at 09:30:28 AMIf you don't know about the tatooes don't say anything cause the tear drops don't mean what you think they mean. I know this man very well and don't point fingers at him. He is a very true caring man. Justice will be served to the right person but don't blame him just because he has ink on him. I have ink on me and that doesn't make me any different. Rest in Peace Corrie we love you and miss you:)
Posted 09/23/2008 at 03:03:26 PMPeople who have written comments on here about Corrie that did not know her please understand those who did are hurting right now and are trying to put all the pieces together so they can understand what happened to their friend. Please know that the community is small and everyone knows Corrie, her boyfriend and most of her current friends. No one was there except Corrie and the person(s) who may have done this to her. Please respect her family and friends in this hard time. Thank you!
Posted 09/23/2008 at 03:41:53 PMSo disappointing to see this happen to a special person. You never think about how things could happen in such a small town, but they are just like the large ones. Someone knows something and I hope that they find out who did this, so family and friends can get a little closure. Time heals all wounds, but I am still in shock that this could happen to someone I grew up around. Rest in Peace Corrie; God bless and we will miss you dearly!
Posted 09/23/2008 at 05:06:24 PMIt's pretty bad when people in a small town talk and don't know exactly what happened. All I know is, is that I lost a good friend. She was passionate about her kids and especially her boyfriend, with whom I am good friends with. The past is the past. I will miss you Corrie, you were truly a good person. Rest in Peace!!!!!!!!!!
Posted 09/23/2008 at 05:19:39 PMI worked with corrie when she was in high school and she was a pleasure to be around. Always telling me about her high school problems. Im sorry this awful thing happened to her. I love you corrie and god bless her family and friends.
Posted 09/23/2008 at 05:36:47 PMCorrie will be greatly missed and always remembered. This is a very sad thing that has happened to her and I hope that the person responsible ASAP!! Whoever did this to Corrie needs to pay for the rest of their life!! REST IN PEACE CORRIE JO!! I will love you and miss you always. You will always have a special place in my heart...

Posted 09/23/2008 at 08:13:58 PMCorrie was one of the most caring person i have ever met in my life. She knew how to make u laugh, and was a great mom. She will be deeply messed by all. Enjoy your walk with God, we will see you when our time comes. For you all that can point a finger from a paragraph of writing don't even know the situation. If a man has ink it doesnt mean he is a killer. Time will tell who did this and justice will be served. Please give the family and friends the peace they deserve. I love you Corrie, and will forever miss you!

Posted 09/24/2008 at 08:51:40 PMI didn't really know Corrie all that well but I went to the school with her nephew and went to the lake with her about a month ago to the day actually. She seemed like such a happy person and her kids were so adorable! She was nice to me even though she didn't know me that well. RIP Corrie!
Posted 09/25/2008 at 02:00:12 AMWhat a horrific thing to happen to this young mother. After reading her MySpace it is obvious how much she loved her little girl. My heart goes out to that little one and all that she will miss by not having her mom there as she grows up.
There isn't much info out about Corrie and how her night went as she celebrated her birthday. I did read that her boyfriend was with her as she celebrated. I wonder why he wasn't home throughout the night? I'm not saying he is guilty of anything but it is an honest question. Someone said that just Corrie and the killer were in the apartment.
I also question the tear drops below the boyfriend's eye. I have never known a person to have tear drops below their eye that didn't get them in prison. I believe it is the sign that the person is responsible for the death of another person or more depending on how many tear drops they wear. If this fellow didn't get his in prison someone should just say so instead of getting angry because others have noticed them. Set the record straight and the questions will be put to rest. Make sense?
No matter who the killer is I hope that person is caught and spends the rest of their life in prison. This young lady didn't deserve to die a violent death at the hands of another person. Her little girl didn't deserve to be left without a mom to nurture her and teach her as she grows up. They will both miss so much. I know that this has to be Corrie's family's biggest nightmare. I know because I too lost a daughter in the same violent way. My heart goes out to them. No parents should have to bury their child. Prayers for the family and friends.
Posted 09/25/2008 at 02:54:36 AMI do know about his tear drops cause I know the man very well and no they don't mean what everyone thinks they mean. He is a great man and would never have hurt Corrie, he loved her and always will no matter what. All I ask that if you don't know the story about his ink don't say anything. To many people are judging and don't know the truth. Corrie will be well taken care of and will be dearly missed. Rest in Peace Corrie we love you and miss you.
Your Great Friend
Posted 09/25/2008 at 10:58:47 AMPlease don't read into Scott's history or his tatoo's. That was in the past. Simply that the past. Scott and Corrie were creating a wonderful life together and were raising children together trying to make life work like any other couple. I only met Corrie once and she was such a wonderful gal. She made me feel like I was her new best friend in just one night. Scott is the most caring man you could meet and they were over the moon for each other. DON'T point fingers at Scott. When the truth comes out (and it will) Small town people talk way too much....There will be justice and you will all pity yourselves for pointing fingers in the wrong direction. This is a tradgedy and justice will prevail. God bless you Corrie.
Posted 09/25/2008 at 04:02:37 PMI'm the blogger who writes this thing and I wanted to echo the advisory to not read so much into Corrie's boyfriend being inked. In prison culture it is true that certain tattoos mean certain things, but hip hop long ago brought some of that into the mainstream and there are now plenty of law-abiding citizens who have ink that they just thought was cool when the artist showed them the flash, not knowing that the tat once meant something to the boys on the cellblock. No one has even hinted yet at Corrie's bf being a person of interest or anything as far as I know, so let's not start now.
Posted 09/25/2008 at 04:08:10 PMAre you kidding me? Scott has always been a loose cannon! I feel terrible for the friends and family of Corrie, as I grew up in the area too and know the family. DO NOT underestimate what he is capable of!
Posted 09/25/2008 at 05:35:39 PMFYI, for those, who keep referring to Scott's teardrop tattoos, were that informed they would have googled "teardrop tattoos" and found that there is several reasons for these. Intially these tattoos were to signify that the wearer had in fact murdered someone but in present day the tattoos are worn to signify that while the wearer was incarcerated that they in fact lost a loved one. The empty tear which is like the ones Scott has, has been said to mean that the tears are empty and that there was no real tears to be shed because the individual was incarcerated at the time of their loved ones death. What has happened to Corrie is a tragedy. But not only is her family and friends in mourning but so are others, Scott and his family and let's not forget Scott's son, who is completely innocent and whom Corrie thought of as her own. This has effected the lives of so many and before accusing fingers are pointed lets remember one thing, innocent until proven guilty. Things that are said and done during this time of grieving can never be taken back. Actions that hurt can never be undone. I pray that when justice prevails those who were left pointing a finger can live with what they've said and done. Corrie was one of those beautiful bubbly souls that when you met her once she was your friend for life. She will be missed and the world lost a beautiful funloving person.
Posted 09/25/2008 at 06:46:15 PMTo Friends of Corrie,
Asking questions about the teardrops isn't the same as pointing fingers. It is simply asking a question or making a statement about the meaning of the teardrops as most of us knew them. I appreciate those that cared enough to explain that the teardrops have other meanings now instead of just one meaning...thanks.
Does anyone know why Corrie ended up home alone after celebrating her birthday? It was my understanding that Corrie and her boyfriend lived together with the two children. Was her relationship with the ex-husband a good one after the divorce? Beating someone to death sounds like rage to me or at least a lot of anger towards Corrie. I hope that LE have some leads by now. Maybe someone she saw while she was out who might have followed her home? I truly hope this is resolved quickly for the sake of Corrie's family. No one should get away with murder and I hope this killer left behind some DNA and is looking over his shoulder just waiting for the handcuffs to be slapped on his wrists.
Posted 09/26/2008 at 12:08:12 AMThe ex is a great guy and an even better father, i should know, im the boyfriend. I cant say much cause of the position im in. But know this, in time your questions will be answered. I wish i could show you my Corrie, she's an Angel on my shoulder.....
Posted 09/26/2008 at 12:32:30 AMif you are the boy friend didn't you love corrie enough to go to her funeral, because I did not see you there.
Posted 09/26/2008 at 12:28:35 PMIn reference to the comment about not seeing Scott at the funeral. Did it ever occur to the writer that Scott was not allowed to go? For what ever sick hurtful reason maybe he was asked not to be there. As I was walking out of the funeral and I looked around I seen two local law enforcement officers standing in the lobby. At least they were courteous enough not to wear their uniform but they looked like they were scourring the area. Maybe the writer should visit with the family and find out if Scott was allowed to go to the funeral. Im sure for what ever reason the family or whoever had everyone's best interest at heart. But from what I know about Scott, he would have moved mountains to be there. If able he would have wanted to be there for Corrie's family as well as the friends that loved her unconditionally. It is so hard at a time like this to not become harsh or judgemental but it occurs to me that a lot of people are just assuming. Before we all jump to conclusions I feel we need to go down every avenue, whether its the wrong or the right way.
Posted 09/26/2008 at 02:00:40 PMI just wanted to say that Corrie's funeral was a very nice service. This whole thing should have never happened and is so sad. Because of some evil person there is a beautiful 4 year old little girl who has lost her Mommy and who ever is responsible for this deserves to rot!! I still cannot believe that Corrie is gone, she was so full of life and did not ever do anything to deserve for this to happen. I also wanted to say something to all the people who are commenting on this who have no idea about anything, or know the people involved or effected by this situation need to keep their opinions to themselves because sometimes people say things that are very disrespectful, so that really needs to be kept in mind!! Corrie is looking down and knows exactly who is responsible for this and that alone should haunt that person for the rest of their life!!!
Posted 09/26/2008 at 03:12:49 PMI agree maybe people need to think about the family right now. They have lost a loved one and are mourning. We all miss Corrie so much. She was a wonderful person that every one loves, whoever did this to her has no heart at all, but respect the mourners who have lost a wonderful person. If you want to say something why dont you think about Corrie and her family first before throwing out false opinions. I love you and miss you Corrie! The lake lake will never be the same without you but we all will never forget you! We also will vow to make sure Kyleigh is taken care of to the very best as she is a spitting image of you that will get us through this.
Posted 09/26/2008 at 05:06:43 PMI would guess that the police officers that attended the service for Corrie were detectives who always wear suits. They always attend the service of a murdered person on the off chance someone attends who doesn't seem to fit in.
I can't imagine why Corrie's boyfriend couldn't attend the service. I would imagine it was at her parent's request if he was actually asked not to attend. I can't imagine who else would have been able to stop him from attending. I also imagine they had their reasons.
When a person's life is taken in a violent way people are going to have lots of questions and ideas about what may have happened and about who did it. That is something that no one has any control over...especially if the killer is still out there somewhere and isn't known yet. Having been there it really is best if family doesn't read things on the internet because some things will hurt them and some will make them angry. All I have read about Corrie is what a wonderful person and mother she was and how much she will be missed. You can also see this by reading her MySpace. I don't look for anyone to write anything negative about her at all.
Posted 09/27/2008 at 07:12:23 AMAs a friend of Corrie and Scott, I am deeply upset with this taking of a young lady. I feel for all the families involved. Yes including Scott and his family. Situations like this bring out the evil in alot of people. This evil finger pointing and accusations HAVE to STOP. No one knows who did this. Scott loved this women no one else. Please dont pass judgement!!!Dont point the finger unless you want the finger pointed at you for not knowing the facts. Corrie rest in peace We miss you.
Posted 09/27/2008 at 01:43:06 PMAs one of Corries close friends, I don't understand the surprise at the finger pointing. Someone knows what happened to her that night and they are to much of a coward to admitt to it. There are several people that were with her that night, someone knows something. The facts that have been released do not add up. Scott has been violent toward Corrie before although she has not said to me that he hurt her physically so it is no surprise that people would point toward him and I am sure he expects it. Sometimes people pay for the mistakes that they have made in horrible ways and if pointing the finger at him is his punishment so be it. On the other hand if he did not do it, I for one will be very greatful and sorry for the hate I hold toward him right now because he is the one that she spent her last couple years with. Let all of us be at peace, expecially her family... please admit what you have done... whomever it may be.
Posted 09/27/2008 at 06:18:14 PMAs one of Corrie friends i just want to say i miss you! I cared so much for you and will miss you so much. You were a great person. I wish this all were a dream but, i love you! Never forget CJW!
Posted 09/27/2008 at 07:39:29 PMI agree!! People keep saying, "don't be pointing fingers"...well it's kind of hard to do that when Corrie goes out to celebrate her birthday a couple days early with Scott and friends (who have never been named) and ends up beaten to death and no one knows anything! I would like to know who the friends were that she was out with too! This is so tragic and unexpected. The guilty one needs to speak up and turn yourself in, and like the person above said...somebody knows something and how sad and pathetic that the person who knows something won't speak up and tell what they know. It takes a cold hearted person to keep what they know a secret...I don't know how the people who know something can just sit there and keep this in, I hope that they have some much shame that they can't eat, sleep, or do anything for that matter and eventually it will catch up to them!!!Think of Kyleigh for God sake and lets get this out in the open...whoever did this was "big and bad" enough to do this to an innocent woman, so be "big and bad" enough now and take responsibility for what you did!!!!!!! Maybe it was an accident and you got into a fight and didn't mean for her to die but she did and you freaked out, you can't hold it in forever...come out with it and give her family and friends and most of all that precious little girl some kind of peace for all of this. I'm tired of hearing people bitching about finger pointing and I want some justice for all of this. Corrie I love you and will never forget you...Rest In Peace...
Posted 09/27/2008 at 10:40:18 PMwhy doesnt everybody stop talking and start listening to the facts she was with two girls that brought her home and the girls from what i got lived 18 miles from grant so why would they leave and take her home and leave scott at the bar when they were already in their home town?{kinda sounds weird to me}! Scott is a wonderful guy and loved corrie more than anything, Corrie was brought home by two girls they were the last ones to see her alive, to me from all the facts that ive heard from scott and friends i would maybe say that this sounds like a girl did it! Anybody think of that, why does it automatically have to be a guy?
Posted 09/28/2008 at 07:09:36 PMUnfortunately when something like this happens everyone is left with just questions. The only one who knows what really happened is the one who did this horrific thing to a beautiful vibrant woman.Those that are left behind have the grief but they also have anger. Like what could i have done or why did this happen to Corrie when she was at her prime. Her and Scott were happy and had bought a house together. She was a terrific mom to two wonderful kids.She had family and friends that loved her and she would have done anything for anyone.Unfortunately there arent alot of facts out there. And i will say i've heard a million stories, some believable some well lets just say are absurd! But in small towns thats all people have to do is gossip. I think that they believe if they tell the story enough sooner or later soemone will believe it. The bottom line is two kids lost their mother, Scott lost his soul mate, family lost a daughter, sister, and aunt, and friends lost an amazing person who would not hesitate to give her last dime to help them.In time i feel that the questions we have will be answered, that someone will come forward or the authorities will catch the person responsible for taking Corrie's life, until then lets be thankful and feel blessed that Corrie is now up there on our side and is cheering us on..she is a guardian angel looking down from above.
Posted 09/29/2008 at 12:24:02 PMFriend of 09/29/08 at 12:42 pm. Thank you for the what you said. I think that is how so many of us feel. Wonderful words and again thank you!
Posted 09/29/2008 at 04:12:21 PMI wish everyone would stop talking about the whole tattoo thing. I have 4 myself. Does that make me a criminal? And who cares what kind of song Corrie had on her myspace page, maybe she just liked the song. It's just so aggravating how someone can just assume it's the boyfriends fault. Those two loved eachother so much. They did everything together and with their kids. Don't look too hard into something that is not important. Like the songs and how someone looks on the outside. Never judge a book by it's cover. It's not up to us to judge people. Corrie will be terribly missed. I will miss her smile and how she made people laugh. Miss you much Corrie. We love you!!!!!!!!!
Posted 09/29/2008 at 07:19:07 PMI just want to say that the person who said that two people brought her home is wrong. There was only Corrie and another girl in the car when they came to Grant. I know this because I know the friend who brought her home
Posted 09/29/2008 at 07:27:32 PMu poeple dont know what u are talking about iam the only one that took her home that nite. keep saying what u r saying! we will find out the truth when it comes out please let us get though this with out all the b.s.. it would be great for everyone to shut up and wait for the truth. we have to so u can to. i will allways love corrie no matter what happens she was my bestfriend. now what???
Posted 09/29/2008 at 08:18:06 PMSo if you are the one who took her home are you the one who did this horrible thing to her?
Posted 09/29/2008 at 09:07:09 PMi was being a friend to a friend that ASK me to take her home think about it u people r so stuip that u would belive that the dogs did it!!!! u want the truth then wait for it like the rest of us.
Posted 09/29/2008 at 09:17:58 PMso if u are the one that brought her home you were obviously the last person to be with her, and if your not guilty then why are u running around town telling all kinds of stories and making up a bunch of crap? And why dont u explain to everybody why u took her home? How does it feel to have the finger pointed at u? Maybe u should respect corrie, scott, and the two babies that were left to live the rest of their life without her, and be quiet if u dont have anything to hide?

Posted 09/29/2008 at 10:45:57 PMFirst off "A close friend" has just as much right as you do to post on here and second of all I have heard what she is saying and still haven't had anyone tell me she has kied at all. She has every right in the world to defend herself. Everyone on here should be thinking of Kayleigh and keep your stupid Theories to yourselves, leave the detective work to the detectives...... Corrie you will be greatly missed!!

Just trying to save folks some trouble.
Posted 09/29/2008 at 10:50:33 PMFirst and foremost i dont think that Steve Huff intended for this site to be used to lash out at each other. Everyone who writes something on here as one thing in common...we loved Corrie, knew her, scott and the family or are just plain sad that this happened. Throwing around accusations and making rude comments has no place on here. The comments are meant to try and help us all understand what went terribly wrong that night. The conversations between all of us on here are to try and help ease the pain, if that is at all possible. To try and comprehend who would do such a terrible thing....this shouldnt be used as a rumor mill...goodness knows that we can go to any one of the small towns in the area and here just about everything. Maybe instead of bickering back and forth we should leave some memories that we shared with Corrie...some that if a stranger was reading that they may get a sense of what we lost in our dear friend...just food for thought!
Posted 09/29/2008 at 11:05:25 PMwho keeps checking corrie's myspace? why does someone feel like they need to nose into her private business?
Posted 09/30/2008 at 09:47:00 AMDon't worry about her myspace page just worry about the "close friend" she was the last one and she knows something. I feel so bad for Scott and the two kids that don't have their mom but at least they still have Scott and he is a GREAT father and always will be we all truly love them and will always miss Corrie.
Posted 09/30/2008 at 10:00:59 AMWhat does it really matter who checks her myspace? We all have that right! Maybe people just want to go look at her pics and coments that her friends have said after her death (to remember her). We all have our own ways of grievance. Evidently we all had a special place in our heart for her and miss her dearly. We are all grieving and wish that this would never have happened. I think most of us just want the truth to come out and for the person who did this to Corrie to come forward. It would be a closure to all her family and friends.
Posted 09/30/2008 at 10:05:34 AMOk first of all, what "just wondering" meant by who keeps checking Corrie's MySpace page was talking about someone has her password and keeps logging into her MySpace and has changed a couple things, not just going to her page...I would like to know the same. Second of all and most important, I'm referring to what "great friend" said above: Scott does not have two kids he has one, Kyleigh is not Scott's daughter and will never see her again...Kyleigh has a father and a great one at that and I just thank God every single day that Kyleigh was with her Dad that weekend and wasn't around when this terrible thing happened to Corrie, what if that evil person would have tried to hurt Kyleigh too or that little girl would have gone in to try to wake her Mommy up?? Thank God Kyleigh was NOT there and she was with her Dad. I feel terrible for Kyleigh and her Dad, they are the one's that we should be thinking about here...
Posted 09/30/2008 at 11:25:34 AMwhere was scott after corrie left the bar? why didn't he go home with his birthday girlfriend and further more go home when he was done partying? why were 'friends' cleaning up the crime scene if they care enough for the guilty to be captured?
Posted 09/30/2008 at 12:04:27 PMI was just reading and hearing everything , I am a family friend and I think this is a terrible thing , I would like to tell the boyfriend that if he would ever feel like a real man and want to try to beat on some-one that is bigger than 110 pounds and that COULD fight back to let me know , I would love to have a piece of him , my heart goes out to the family and to her little girl , also to the father of the little girl (that I also know to be a good guy) and I hope that this is all taken care of soon , and the guy that is responsible is taken out in the field and beat to death
Posted 09/30/2008 at 12:49:40 PMI think most of the poeple have it right in here... Corrie should be remembered and morned. I grew up with Corrie and think about here and her family every day. What happened should have never happened, but since we cant change anything we should do what we can to remember her for the type of person, friend and mother she was. I pray every day that they find who did this ( male or female) and the person or persons responsible pay for it. there will be no forgiveness from me for what happened.
Posted 09/30/2008 at 01:33:54 PMThank you "just wondering" for bring up the "friends" that were cleaning up the crime scene...Why the hell was anyone in there cleaning anything up, I had also heard about this too. First of all I would not call them "friends" I would say these people need to be thrown into prison for obstruction of evidence, these people went in there, for Scott I might add, and put the sheets that had blood on them into the washer and threw the egg crate thing away that was under the sheets because it had blood on it too!! That is just not right, sounds to me like they were covering up for the murderer...and I also wanted to say, thank you "colorado" for finally saying something about Kyleigh's father, I'm so sick of people saying they are so sorry for Scott!! Kyleigh and her Father along with the rest of Corrie's family are the ones that need our prayers...NOT SCOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted 09/30/2008 at 01:36:01 PMAs im reading the last few enteries im finding it hard to not read it with my mouth agape. Keep in mind that this is a murder investigation and what people are saying like washing the sheets and cleaning up and that the person responsible for this crime should be beaten to death...hello what kind of statement is that. Anger and violence just breeds more anger and violence. The person who did in fact do this to corrie will have to wake up every day and know that they took the life of a wonderful person. Im not saying that they shouldnt pay for it...hopefully the justice system will prevail but come on people lets keep the focus on where it needs to be. Scott was a part of Kyleighs life for 2 years..Corrie i know thought of Scott's son as her own..he even called her mommy!So the situation is very difficult..I have visited with some of the people that are directly involved and I would never write it on here. Hopefully anything that is said on here does not hamper the investigation.When we read stuff we get angry and so its human nature to lash out and say stuff that may not be appropiate. Remember at first Corrie's death was not suspicious! It was not released that it was being investigated as a possible homicide until later. So maybe the people that were cleaning up the place needed to do that for closure..who knows....people just keep speculating...what if, or how could they, or what were they thinking. Some things are better left to ourselves....
Posted 09/30/2008 at 02:11:54 PMWow, I am shocked at reading some of these comments. Let me start out by saying that I have no personal ties to this victim. I read Steve's site religiously and this case has taken my particular interest.
First, this comment by "A friend" :
"""So maybe the people that were cleaning up the place needed to do that for closure..who knows....people just keep speculating...what if, or how could they, or what were they thinking. Some things are better left to ourselves....""
Was this right after the incident? And before an investigation?? If so, that that is Obstruction of Justice and tampering with a crime scene/evidence.
"Some things are better left to ourselves" -- I hate to break it to the poster who wrote this quote -- but this is obviously a homicide investigation and you don't sound mentally stable by writing that particular entry. Of course LE will not want things left to anyone, they are going to want facts, just as most of the readers on this site look for facts. This statement is very bizarre to me.
"""u poeple dont know what u are talking about iam the only one that took her home that nite. keep saying what u r saying! we will find out the truth when it comes out please let us get though this with out all the b.s.. it would be great for everyone to shut up and wait for the truth. we have to so u can to. i will allways love corrie no matter what happens she was my bestfriend. now what???"""
Again, this statement is bizarre and unsettling -- you sound like you know what happend to her. People dont' have to "shut up" on this site. It is here to write commentary about crimes commited - for people to speculate, try to figure out the "whys" etc etc etc... This isn't her memorial and I would stop getting so "touchy" about people that are curious and want to get to the bottom of crime(s).
I am very sorry for all of those that knew this young lady. I looked at her myspace and she looked like a wonderful girl. I feel very sorry for her child, child's father, friends and family
I did find something interesting posted on one of the pics of her BF -- something about a better side of him. I might be reading into it - guess we will have to wait and see. Also, I am not kosher with the body language in the pics but I don't want to contine to ruffle more of yalls feathers.
Posted 09/30/2008 at 03:27:01 PMWonderfully put..."a friend posted 9/30 at 2:11 pm." These very negative thoughts on here are absolutely appauling. I truly don't believe that Corrie would want you to be ranting and raving as some of you have been. She would not want you to be so bitter. Some of you posting the negative comments sound like you are having a tug of war to see who knew Corrie better or who knows more about what is going on. Don't fight over what you don't know to be true; it's a losing battle. Put away the plastic policman badge. It is not any of our jobs to play the role of judge, jury, or executioner. If you are a friend, be a good one, spread comfort and support to others who are mourning her loss. Rumors and gossip...thrive in small towns and small minds. Don't be one to help them grow. To those of you who simply want to say "goodbye" and "we will miss you"...Bravo...keep it up...your heart is in the right place.
Posted 09/30/2008 at 04:05:10 PMFirst of all, the assholes that are saying shit to the friend that took her home...why don't you man up and post under your real name? I think the friend deserves to know who the jerks are that are saying these things.
She has enough issues to deal with without a bunch of scared assholes talking more shit about stuff they're completely clueless about. If I were her, I'd be beating myself up over this...wondering what I should have done differently to ensure Corrie's safety. Kicking myself for not staying with her that night. So she doesn't need you guys attacking her too, especially under anonymous names.
You people that claim to hear the lies going around town...why don't you fess up as to who you really are? You're the reason I HATE SMALL TOWNS. You are so fucking nicey-nice to peoples faces, but turn around and talk shit the minute they're back is turned.
The friend that took her home, you know who I am and we love you. We're behind you 100% and you know that. You're tough...you'll get through this. Fuck the rest of them. You only have to answer to the people that are in charge of the case, so ignore the rest of the assholes that have nothing better to do with their time and energy except spew a bunch of useless garbage.
Posted 09/30/2008 at 05:20:39 PMIt isn't unusual when a murder takes place that people have their own opinions about what happened and who did it. People want facts about what happened and eventually we will have those. For now all people can do is try and put their own facts together...those that are known...and try to figure out the rest.
There are some angry people on here and that is understandable but people aren't going to stop trying to figure out what happened and who is responsible. This is very common when a murder takes place. It doesn't mean that those same people don't hurt for Corrie and her family. If they didn't care they wouldn't bother to come her and voice their opinions.
Personally, I doubt that the girl that took Corrie home had anything to do with her murder. I think it was a male that was full of rage for some reason. The situation could have started out as an argument and turned into a full blown fight that ended in murder.
The only way that anyone could have cleaned up the murder scene would have been before law enforcement was called while Corrie lay dead on her bed. That is difficult to visualize. After the police were called they would have taken over the scene I would think. It must have been obvious that a murder had taken place even though it wasn't stated at first. If there was blood everywhere it would have been obvious that something horrible had happened. I truly hope that no one touched anything at the crime scene.
I have a hard time believing that anyone would try and clean up the bedroom for any other reason but to try and cover up a crime. Think what you might.
It is obvious that Corrie was a much loved person. A lot of people are grieving their loss and emotions are running wild. I think everyone here wants the same thing though...to find out who did this to her and see justice done in her name. Someone among you is responsible for this horror. The sooner they are caught and put in jail the safer everyone will feel and the more peace they will feel to know that this person will have to take responsibility for the nightmare they have brought on Corrie's family and friends. If anyone knows anything at all I hope that you have the courage to go to LE and talk to them. I doubt that the killer is the only one that knows what happened. Killers have a tendency to talk to at least one person about what happened. If you are that one person please talk to the police so this case can be resolved.
Posted 09/30/2008 at 06:54:43 PMI don't know anyone in the situation however I live in Grant and just wanted to say that threatening the boyfriend anonymously on the internet has got to make you feel better about yourself. Next time leave a name and address and I will come and take care of you for the Boy friend. He has suffered a huge loss that most people couldn't even fathom...
Posted 09/30/2008 at 06:59:16 PMWow, "Grant Local" that is very mature...admitting not knowing anyone in the situation, yet throwing out threats to people who talk badly about the boyfriend...Really, it's people like you that need to keep your nose out of things because you don't know anyone involved, you just come on here and talk crap...at least others commenting on this page know the people involved on one side or the other and aren't just butting in where they are not welcomed...You said it yourself, You DON'T know anyone in this situation so I think I speak for everyone when I say: then stay out of it!!!
Posted 09/30/2008 at 07:29:58 PMAll I have to say is that I heard that scott got a dui that night if that is true how did he wake up next to corrie who was already dead? Sounds like a bunch of bull shit to try and cover something up. I am not for sure but I think that when you get a dui you get locked up are at least have to go to a detox place until you blow under the legal limit. And for some to say that if people want to talk shit about someone then leave a real name and info why should they so that you can come see them thats a bunch of B.S. pretty tough to make threats. I am not making any I am just stating facts. If this scott truly did not do this why is he not protecting himself and standing up for himself. If I was in his situation I would be definding myself. My heart goes out the the family especially to Kyleigh and her father.
Posted 09/30/2008 at 07:56:52 PMSteve, Thank you for covering this story. I am sure it will come to mother justice soon.
I did have one comment to make to all the threats posted on here to one another.... do you all really think that violence should beget violence? Is that how your friend would have wanted it?
Posted 09/30/2008 at 08:03:40 PM07:29:58 PM, Grant Local wasn't talking crap. The way I see it, people saying not to feel badly for Scott should just shut up and walk away. Scott lost someone too. He lost his girlfriend. He lost a partner in his business. He lost a loved one. If it does come to light that Scott did indeed do it, regardless, he needs to be thought of, prayed for.
07:56:52 PM, it has never been said that Scott woke up next to Corrie and found her dead. He wasn't home when it happened (unless of course, he's the one that did it, but I truly don't feel he did).
As for leaving real names, I stated why I felt people should leave their real names if they're going to talk shit about the friend. Reading comprehension does wonders.
Posted 09/30/2008 at 09:00:41 PMRe: Grant local:I am sure the people of grant are pleased to know they have so many people in their community to fear and that are so violent.
Posted 09/30/2008 at 09:04:04 PMFor the comment about cleaning up the crime scene these people really werent doing this. These people want to know what happened and are saddened to lose a close friend. At the point they were told that it was not suspicious. The cops left leaving the door open. I know this isnt how Corrie wanted this to be. Please give everyone peace and be respectful to everyone, atleast Corrie. Threatening people is going to do no good. You can say killing is wrong, but then you say you want to take care of someone doesnt sound right to me. Corrie i wish this never happened to you we all love you and miss you and know you are in a better place!

Posted 09/30/2008 at 10:20:44 PMRE: grant local If you don't know anyone why don't you shut the fuck up and don't put your nose where it doesn't belong.
Posted 09/30/2008 at 11:02:55 PMFYI -- From here on out I'm going to just start deleting trash-talking comments. Any telling others to shut the fuck up, that sort of bullshit -- will just be deleted. You've been told. So don't bother. Got something of substance to say? Say it. Otherwise, keep it to yourself, it's a waste of Web space.
Posted 09/30/2008 at 11:06:12 PMThe report here is not accurate from what I've found reported in the Lincoln Journal Star.
"Perkins County Sheriff James Brueggeman says authorities on the scene weren’t able to determine her cause of death, but says there were no signs that violence played a part."
So why the witch hunt and bad mouthing of Scott?! Where did this article come from? The associated press? Better check your facts! Sounds to me more like a drug overdose than anything else, but someone has an agenda here to make a certain someone look like a murderer. What gives? I don't even know the guy, but this is some poor reporting.
Posted 09/30/2008 at 11:30:35 PMThis is all really unsettling. I just live 20 miles away and although I didn't know Corrie I knew of her. I think people should just be careful of who you trust. Until the person is found that did this I am scared to even have my kids stay with my babysitter in Grant.
Posted 09/30/2008 at 11:31:54 PMHey dumbshit 'Not Accurate' the sources for this blog post are those funny blue words at the bottom in brackets. Just click them. And don't be such an idiot you confuse a blog post with the comments left by others. The person who wrote the blog entry just reported what police said at the time, that she was a homicide victim. He didn't even mention the boyfriend, all the yahoos in the comments here have taken care of that.
Posted 09/30/2008 at 11:37:48 PMI don't see why it matters whether people know Corrie or Scott, especially if they live in this town. I have to live here. I have to listen to the bullshit people are spewing because they have nothing better to do.
As for this: "RE: grant local If you don't know anyone why don't you shut the fuck up and don't put your nose where it doesn't belong."
I know you weren't talking to me, but even though I didn't know Corrie and only met Scott a few times, doesn't mean I should have to keep my nose out of this. I WILL NOT shut the fuck up. This is a community in which Corrie and Scott were/are a part of. I live here and am part of the community as well. And as a community, we lost someone that was loved by many and very much a part of this town. While many of you have already concluded that Scott or the friend that took her home is guilty...well, thankfully that's not for you to decide. Thankfully there is still an investigation going on that will put the pieces together to find the real killer, whether it's Scott, the friend, or the one armed man.
Posted 10/01/2008 at 12:50:12 AMJust to clear this all up. I and a few others are the ones who washed the sheets and let me get you the facts before you start judging. The house was released to Scott after everyone left and the sheriff stated that is was done and the house was released. The sheets were washed WHILE A SHERIFF was present and the SHERIFF gave us permission to wash them so there is the truth he knew it was being done and so how was anything being hidden. The sheets didn't come clean so they were thrown away and the sheriff also new about that so please tell us how we were hidding ANYTHING if the sheriff was present when it was being done. Here is the truth step by step so stop talking crap if you don't know the whole story. I love Corrie and miss her dearly and same with Scott he is a GREAT man and always will be to us no matter what. Please don't post if you don't know the whole story as it hurts people and makes up lies.
Posted 10/01/2008 at 10:44:33 AMI grew up with Corrie and olny met Scott once. Corrie said she was very happy with him, and that was enough for me. Like every one else who posted comments here, I just want to know what happened that night. A time line of where she went , who she was with, ect. I pray that the person(s) responsible are brought to justice. I different stories of what happened don't matter unless some one is held acountable. I talked to some of the family after Corries death and the story they got and told me compared to what is being said now just doesnt add up. Most of what doesnt add up has to deal with Scott, however that doesnt make him guilty. We all just need to remember that Corrie is gone and act the way she would have if it was one of her friends or loved ones that died. She was a wonderfull person and would do what she could to avoid confrontaions, and would do any thing she could to help some one. For those of you morning this loss remember the good times and fond memories of Corrie. People will say what is on thier minds, good or bad, but them comments shouldnt ruin our thoughts, prayers, and memories of such a wonderfull perosn. Please EVERYONE we all want to know what happened, who did it, and all the awfull details, but we may never know for certain what happened. There is nothing we can do about it. Just ignore what you see to be hurtfull or false comments, and those of you who do know more that what we are hearing, if you can let us know what you know. Only if it wont do harm to the investigation. I hope and pray Corrie had a good time before her death and was with good friends that she loved, and that she didnt suffer to much. I will miss her so much but I can always remember the good times to help with the saddness, and with Corrie there were always a lot of good times. We will always love and miss her!!! So long old friend...
Posted 10/01/2008 at 11:03:14 AMThe Sheriff let you wash the sheets??? First of all, who would want to keep the sheets if they were blood soaked?? Last time I checked blood doesn't come out of sheets very well. And if not blood, what was on them?? This is a very bizarre case. The last thing on my mind would be the "sheets" if my friend had just died. Again, I am playing devils advocate.
I agree with Barbara - Man, Rage etc...would be my first hunch. People that love one another have killed before. Not unheard of. Only other one I can come up with is an ex-conspiracy deal of the bf - again, I am not making anything up, purely speculative from a person who does not know these people personally.
Posted 10/01/2008 at 02:12:00 PMI am curious to know if anyone on here knows how scott is doing? I just haven't seen him around and have seen the Acousti pickup several times w/o him in it. I am not trying to cause trouble just wondering if he is ok.
Posted 10/01/2008 at 02:14:19 PMThe sheets weren't blood soaked, just an FYI for everyone.
Posted 10/01/2008 at 02:45:26 PMYeah I'm just not buying the story about the sheriff letting these people come in a wash the sheets!! I totally agree with what "stunned" said above...Highly doubtful that they are just going to let someone in there to wash the sheets where are murder victim was found! And, like the person above said...a "friend" (if that is what you are calling yourself) just was murdered and you are worried about getting the freakin sheets washed?? Come on now are you kidding me!! That just doesn't make any since to me I don't know about anyone else!! This whole thing is rediclous, and I just wish the person or people who are responsible would come out with what they have done and give everyone some peace about this!! Someone has to know something: and speaking to the one who does, please tell what you know for Corrie, and Kyleigh!!
Posted 10/01/2008 at 03:00:13 PMIm just curious as well with all the talk of washing the sheets and cleaning the house..Was it obvious that Corrie was beaten? and i may be wrong but at first it was said to not be suspicious. If there was blood on the sheets why wouldnt it have been suspicious right off the bat. I guess with all the stories flying around im a little confused. I will say i already have what i think happened and i truly believe in my heart that..but reading all of these posts definately puts doubt in my head so i was just wondering if someone could help me understand. And awhile ago someone said that people were saying that the dogs did it...whats that comment about? That's a new one to me i hadnt heard that bizarre one yet!
Posted 10/01/2008 at 03:00:17 PMok very good friend i'm pretty sure that I am looking at you across the room so why don't you just say it to me instead of writing it to me.
Posted 10/01/2008 at 03:25:22 PMWell "great friend" sorry but no you are not looking at me from across the room, I just don't believe that your story has any truth to it at all!! It just doesn't make since, because I know that if I was the one that was there I wouldn't be worried about getting the sheets cleaned...I would be grieving with the family like I was!!!
Posted 10/01/2008 at 03:41:49 PMI am also interested in knowing more about the sheets. the first assumptions on the death was an overdose of some sort ( which can cause some bleeding) , but that is one thing I couldnt believe. Corrie wasnt that type, she loved her daughter and life to much. Not to be morbid but how much blood was on the sheets and any where else that was cleaned up. As far as the sheriff letting them clean... I can see that happening. Like I said they first thought it was an overdose. The press release quoted the sheriff as saying there was no signs of violence, so small town mentality ( no matter how wrong) would go with the easiest explanation and he could have released the house to be cleaned. They didnt think it was a crime scene until after the autopsy. That's why I'm curious about the amount of blood and where it was. For some one to be beat to death I would asume the area would be a mess, but I'm not an expert in these matters.Please shed some light on this subject ( as much as you can). I'm not trying to play detective or any thing like that. I'm just trying to make sense of what happened to my friend. And facts from some one that knows first hand is one way to sort through all the bs going around.
Posted 10/01/2008 at 03:49:47 PMThought this was kind of interesting, here is a link to information on Scott:
http://dcs-inmatesearch.ne.gov/Corrections/InmateSearchServlet
Posted 10/01/2008 at 04:03:53 PMOk for some reason the link didn't work but just go to where it says start new search and put last name: Petro and first name: Scott
There are two things that come up and they are both him and on the far right at the top it says click for image.
Posted 10/01/2008 at 04:08:30 PMthanks for the link. it was interesting
Posted 10/01/2008 at 04:13:33 PMYes you are right it wasn't a crime scene at first and that's why it was released. Sorry but I can't say much.:(
Posted 10/01/2008 at 04:19:12 PMRest in peace Corrie. You are leaving a great part of you behind. We are lucky to have had you as long as we did.
Posted 10/01/2008 at 05:10:44 PMRest in peace Corrie. You are leaving a great part of you behind. We are lucky to have had you as long as we did.
Posted 10/01/2008 at 05:11:02 PMRest in peace Corrie. You are leaving a great part of you behind. We are lucky to have had you as long as we did.
Posted 10/01/2008 at 05:11:08 PMRest in peace Corrie. You are leaving a great part of you behind. We are lucky to have had you as long as we did.
Posted 10/01/2008 at 05:11:14 PMRest in peace Corrie. You are leaving a great part of you behind. We are lucky to have had you as long as we did.
Posted 10/01/2008 at 05:11:20 PMIt's not that her dealth wasn't suspicious in the first place they just couldn't say anything until the autopsy came back. I know rumors were circulating at first that it was alcohol poisoning at first, or maybe drug overdose but I wasn't buying it not for one second...I knew that Corrie would not drug overdose because she just wouldn't be the type to do that and she would not do that to Kyleigh, I really didn't buy the story about alcohol poisoning because it's not like that Friday night was Corrie's first night out drinking...she has always been a party girl and there was no way I was going to believe that she just went out and got drunk and it killed her...her death was not suspicious at first only because they couldn't say anything until they knew something. They don't just imediately rush someone in for an autopsy everytime there is a death. Are you kidding, they knew something was up, then the autopsy came back that very next morning that the cause of death was multiple blows to the head and body. It just doesn't make any since, they should have someone by now!!
Posted 10/01/2008 at 11:13:18 PMAs I read everyone's postings I am in total disbelief!!! I don't understand how the police who were in charge of the investigation didn't look at this as a crime scene from the very beginning. The reason I say this is because it is not everyday that we see a 28 year old dead. It should have been a murder investigation regardless until the autopsy came back. It is hard not to point fingers, I never knew the couple myself and I try not to listen to what everybody else has to say. The one thing that I did hear that I do believe is that there is a gag order in place. So really nothing should be said about the investigation, if something is said than those people talking need to get thrown in jail. As far as people finding out that Scott has a criminal record and he has been to prison. Who Cares, just because an individual goes to prison doesn't make him a bad guy, we all mess up at one time in our life. To the friend that dropped her off that night, keep your head up, don't beat yourself down!! I do have my thoughts and prayers out there for all of the people who care about her, it is tough losing someone close to you no matter the circumstance.
Posted 10/02/2008 at 01:25:12 AMThanks outsider looking in. What a tragedy this has been for all of us involved, but mostly for Corrie. Listening to the many voices and statements it is clear to me that in this already difficult situation many of you have made it clear that you have lost your way. Would Corrie have wanted it this way? Best Friend, it is terrible that things are what they are but how can you continue to go on and on publicly when you are a key factor in this case. Did it ever occur to you that you are not helping the situation any. Maybe you are angry, so are most of us. The time and place to state your opinion publicly is not now. That time will come. If you need comfort in how you feel and think, I suggest you lean on God and let Corrie be your angel. As for Scott I really hope it wasn't you for everyone's sake. Corrie had a beautiful little girl and she didn't deserve this. I know that everyone is upset about the way this investigation started, maybe our local law enforcement fumbled the ball but what is done is done and now we have to be honest about everything that happened that night, good or bad for anyone if you truly loved Corrie you will let the truth prevail. The state patrol is investigating and they will get to the bottom of this, we have to believe that. In closing Corrie, you are truly missed and loved.

i want to know why it is taking so long! I heard that their was bite marks does anyone know if there is any truth to that? I also know that the friends who cleaned the sheets were just trying to be good friends i know if my husband was dead in my bed and their was blood i would not want to see that because their would be a mental image there that would never go away, so in my opinion at the time when it was not a crime sceen and they had permission they did nothing wrong at all except try to be a good friend! So props to the friends that were trying to help. Scott keep your head held up high and remember that you have alot of people that are on your side and love you and are standing behind you in this whole mess! And in this whole matter i have barely heard anybody mention wyatt who finally had a mommy and i know that she thought of him as her own and loved him just the same, so to wyatt everybody that sees him please give him lots of hugs and kisses and tell him that corrie loved him very much and she is looking down on him from heaven and she will always be their for him and kyleigh!
Posted 10/02/2008 at 09:35:25 PMI'm betting the best friend has already told the police everything she knows, considering she has told friends that they were blowing up her phone the first few days after it happened. She doesn't have to come forward to anyone but the police, and maybe Corrie's family if she feels like doing so.
Posted 10/02/2008 at 09:44:14 PMMy sympathy goes out to the family of Corrie and especially to Scott and Kyleigh. I know that it is hard to be patient and I am sure the investigation is ongoing. It takes time for all the forensic testing to be completed and reviewed.I pray everyday that the killer will be arrested. I have been wondering about the time of death. There seems to be alot of unanswered questions and again, it is hard to wait for some answers. I can't imagine why anyone would want to brutally kill someone...somebody has to know something and I hope the truth comes out very very soon. It does make me nervous that something as tragic as this can happen in a small city like Grant and makes me hesitant to be so trusting.
Posted 10/03/2008 at 02:40:19 AMJust an update: Wednesday's paper said that the full autopsy results aren't in yet.
Posted 10/03/2008 at 11:04:37 AMI look and read this everyday, and things just seem to be so confusing to me. Someone beat her, the cops nor the friends that cleaned up, could see anything out of place and everything looked as though Corrie had just went to bed?!?! How does someone get beat and there is not any signs? If there was no blood on the sheets? ok, I can buy that, maybe this happened outside of the home, but you said that the sheets didn't come clean, so you throw them away?!? Why would the sheets not come clean? If I was the Wood family I would be so pissed off at how this case was handled, someone would be talking to my attorny... That house should have been closed. But it was not, so you have to do the best you can do, after a good cleaning. Please understand I am not pointing a finger at anyone, just question, it is not my place to do any of that. My God Bless the Wood Family and all of you.
Posted 10/03/2008 at 01:29:42 PMI agree with what "confused" said. I cannot believe how this case has been handled! This is the first case of homicide in this area for 22 years and you can definitly tell. The police departments in this area are just not trained or prepared for something like this to happen. That house should have been closed off imediately and no one should have been allowed in there. This is such a tragedy to happen to anyone and I still just can't believe that Corrie is gone, it just doesn't seem like it can be real. I thought that the funeral would kind of put a close to this but it definitly did not and there won't be any kind of closure until the truth comes out and we all know what happened and who is the responsible one. I just can't stop reminiscing about past times and looking through pictures that I have and all I can do is shake my head no because it doesn't seem real! All I can do is hope and pray everyday that this case is solved. I miss you so much Corrie Jo!!
Posted 10/03/2008 at 03:07:25 PMCorrie was a beautiful person inside and out. So, at her furneal it was a closed caskett, if she was Ok why would her family not have it an open caskett? Very Good Friend I am sorry for what you and everyone are going through... From what I understand from the furneal, it was very nice but not much was said about Corrie, maybe you and her other good and true friends should get together and everyone write your own thoughts and memories of her, put them in a book and share them. And when and only when her daughter is older and ready she could read about what a great and loving person her mother was (with the permission of her father). I don't think this would bring closure but it would be good for the heart.
Posted 10/03/2008 at 05:31:27 PMThank you "confused". Yeah Corrie's funeral was a very nice but no not much was said about her. I wish that more was said about her to make it more personal but it was still very nice and her casket was beautiful. Yes it would be nice to put lots of thoughts in a book for Kyleigh... And yes it was a closed casket, the only ones who viewed her was family right before the funeral. I don't believe that she was Ok...otherwise it would have been an open casket funeral.
Posted 10/03/2008 at 06:50:35 PMMaybe I'm wrong, but I was under the assumption that the friends cleaned the house after it was no longer declared a crime scene - meaning that once they'd gotten all the evidence they needed, friends and family were allowed to go in and clean it up and make it livable. And it's better to get that stuff cleaned up and thrown away rather than let blood stains just sit and get gross. Not to mention that it's still Scott's house too and he deserves to be able to go into his house if it's no longer a crime scene.
Speaking of Scott - has anyone seen or heard from him?
Posted 10/04/2008 at 09:09:45 AMI would seriously like to know who the hell keeps loging into Corrie's MySpace page...I went to her page this morning and someone freakin deleted ALL her comments!! Who in the hell would do that?? Why would someone go in there and delete all of the comments that her friend have left before and after she passed away?? That is just messed up and in a way demented! I think Corrie would be pretty freakin pissed off about that...WHY would someone do that?? That is seriously messed up...to the person who is doing that: you do you think you are and why do you feel that you have to right to destroy the things that Corrie made, and erase what her friends have left her as final words?? So far since this happened, a friend was deleted, her business information, and now ALL her comments...don't you have your own MySpace account to mess up???!!!
Posted 10/04/2008 at 09:57:18 AMdon't know if any of you heard but scott was cleared. They stated that the beatings Corrie received were too small for Scott to have done it. They suspect it was a woman...
Posted 10/05/2008 at 12:37:26 AMI just read an article that said that Corrie was beaten about the head and body...this is according to the autopsy.
Where is it said that Scott was cleared?
The article also said that the case has been handed over to a larger Law Enforcement. Can't remember who it was. That is probably a good thing. They probably have the resources that this little town doesn't have. I have a feeling that this case will be resolved soon.

Posted 10/05/2008 at 10:00:50 AMwhere did you (no longer home) see that it stated scott was cleared? does anyone know the gal that dropped her off's story of how she left corrie? i find it hard to believe that a girl did this to corrie, but we'll all wait for the autopsy results to get in this week and hopefully all of these questions will be answered and the family can get some closure. my prayers are still being sent for the wood family, kyleigh, the investigation and for the killer. he/she will have a long road ahead of them - either in prison or with that monkey on their back.
Posted 10/05/2008 at 01:31:48 PMDoes anyone have information on when the autopsy will be in? Who will be the first to be notified...? Will there be an arrest following the results or will there be more investigating? I would like to know the friend's story on how she left corrie? I think people are having a hard time believing that a female could have very well been the murderer...but during times of rage I think that anything is possible so it definately isnt unbelievable. I guess I as well as many others who read this page and scan the web pages on news articles would like to have some more answers...or information on whats going on...
Posted 10/05/2008 at 03:12:20 PMIt is my understanding that the autopsy results should be in this week. That is part of their ongoing investigation and if it gives the authorities enough information to make an arrest, I am sure they will do this. I don't know if the autopsy results will be made public or not, especially if there is an arrest and goes to trial. I feel that Cori was beaten by a man, in rage. Could somebody from the bar possibly followed her home, knowing that Scott was still there? Since there wasn't alot of evidence in the home, was she possibly beaten somewhere else and taken back to the home? Did Scott do it? I don't think so, then who did
Posted 10/05/2008 at 06:27:06 PMit?
Let's all just pray that this ends soon for all the people and familys involved. LE will do their best to solve this and it's all we all can do is let them do their job to solve this and I know they will. Time and evidence will tell and the right person will be put away. We love and miss Corrie and she will be looking down on all of us through this all. To you Scott, you are also in our thoughts and prayers each and every day, we love you too.
Posted 10/05/2008 at 11:32:24 PMI just hope this ends soon so every one can have closure and the person that did this can be put away for causing all of this sadness and pain on everyone involved. The person who did this does not understand who all really loved Corrrie. I hope they are reading this and can understand that they took a 4 yr old mommy away. What if you would have never had a mom in your life? i hope you are happy with what you did to an innocent mother,friend,daughter,aunt,girlfriend,and sister. Corrie not a day goes by that i dont pray for you. You will always be considered a part of our family and love you more than you will ever know RIP
Posted 10/06/2008 at 12:58:03 AMDoes anyone know who would be logging on the Corrie's myspace page and deleting any comments that people leave/have left?
Posted 10/06/2008 at 12:03:12 PMWho would want to detet Corrie's myspace comments? Someone took her life and know someone is deleting some of her memories, that is so messed up. Who ever is doing this needs to stop! This is a place for true friends to go see there good frind and get comfort. Why would you want to distroy this and the people that Corrie loved? You look like a Chicken Sh-- to me. Takes a pretty low person to do something like this. You need to grow up.
Posted 10/06/2008 at 12:28:55 PMCan't the computer being used to log on to her account be tracked?
Posted 10/06/2008 at 12:52:05 PMI emailed myspace customer service to report it as fraud. Have not heard back yet.
Posted 10/06/2008 at 02:34:26 PMThank you so very much "close"!! Please let us know if or what you find out. It's really bothersome that someone would be deleting loving messages that Corrie's friends leave her. Dealing with a situation like this is hard enough for everyone that loved her, let alone someone out there taking that away from us as well.
Posted 10/06/2008 at 02:58:51 PMare u people retarted or just totally uneducated, the my space comments are more than likely not being deleted wow did you know that u can make your comments not available to be seen by everybody just like you can make your my space private you ever think of that or do you just not have anything else in your life to do than worry about frickin my space how old are you anyways!
Posted 10/06/2008 at 03:11:41 PMI also asked if they would block it to the public. I think it should be hers. Her last thougts and her last feelings. And to the question above, the I.P. Address can be traced.
Posted 10/06/2008 at 03:15:36 PMa friend:
Posted 10/06/2008 at 03:27:10 PMWhy do you have to get so angry about this? No, I was not aware that you could make comments private on myspace. I simply asked a question, a question that others have asked as well and no one seemed to know.
Re: "a friend said" at 3:11:41 PM today...Yes you can make your comments to not be seen, which I don't believe that is what is going on they ARE being DELETED, but even if someone (a very disturbed someone) did make them private so no one could see them then that is wrong too!! Who the hell do they think they are to be messing with her stuff anyway, and why would someone want to take away what her friends have said to her as final words. It is bad enough that she was taken away and now someone is taking away the one way some people have to deal with this. Who the hell do you think you are to come on here and say "are u people retarted or just totally uneducated" anyway, it's someone like you that just needs to keep silenced because you don't have anything but negative things to say!! Negativity is the last thing we need when dealing with something like this. I don't know who you are but I can tell that you are very unsincitive and you sound like you don't give a damn...To the person who is looking into who is messing with her profile and deleting things: THANK YOU, keep us posted on what you find out. And by the way, it's not just comments that have been deleted, a couple of friends have been deleted too, what are you going to say that has just been switched to private too??? Who the hell has the right to delete Corrie's friends, if she had them on there then obviously they were friends and it's not up to ANYONE to delete someone!!!
Posted 10/06/2008 at 03:35:56 PMI don't like to involve myself in this but have to point out a couple things.....someone is getting into Corrie's myspace page, come on folks the last login shows 10/5/08 and we all know that she was not with us on that date. I also know that I had read some comments that people have left and they are now gone. It really it just to bad that people have to be so cruel. I would say this is pretty low of someone to be deleting things knowing that she is no longer with us to defend herself.
Posted 10/06/2008 at 03:53:52 PMMy heart and prayers go out to Scott, Kyleigh and Wyatt. I am confident that Scott will be cleared of everything and they will find the person who did this.
Its not set to private, but I personally would like it to be.
Posted 10/06/2008 at 03:58:08 PMJust to let everyone know, I received a nasty private message on my myspace from this person that is logging on to her account.
Posted 10/06/2008 at 04:08:20 PMYou "upset" got a nasty private message??? What did it say?? How was it a private message, so you don't know who sent it?? How did they know who you were???
Posted 10/06/2008 at 04:12:48 PMI'm not sure if I should even say what was said on my myspace for my own safety. I have obviously made this person extremely mad and who's to say what could be said next. I had left a message a while back asking the person why they felt they needed to delete all the comments.
Posted 10/06/2008 at 04:22:03 PMI would turn it in... For your safety.
Posted 10/06/2008 at 04:28:53 PMYeah, I remember that comment that was left but it is gone now, did you get deleted from her friends list too, or have you even checked?? Because I know that she had 44 friends and after your comment was deleted now there are only 43 friends...that is so messed up, I can't believe that this person sent you a nasty message!! These people are sick!!
Posted 10/06/2008 at 04:30:53 PMThat's what I was thinking as well
