Usual Suspects
I was quickly scrolling through stories on here when I caught the male suspect’s mugshot from the corner of my eye. Thought it was a werewolf at first, but nope just another face of meth.
She look like him in drag!!!
I thought he was an Amish dude 🤣
Kate is looking rough
Looks like the dude broke ties from the Amish.
Meth…. No way!
Sadly, I know these two from my past, and I can say with 100% certainty that the dude pinned that meth on her. He’s a worthless piece of dog shit and deserves to be locked up. A literal psychopath with zero conscience. I was hoping he’d be dead by now, but sadly, no.
Thought he was Amish as well. Ustiff Yoder with his mother? Perhaps a windy day raising that barn.
I like Amish meth.
