she says, in her gut, that kevin was dead. but how it happened, michelle could not believe what police were telling her. she remembered steve chappelle as that scrawny, unassuming guy who worked for kevin mooring lawns. in fact, he had done some work on michel s lawn some weeks earlier. michelle felt badly when he told her that he just had his wisdom teeth out. i was so worried about him for the two days that he was there and, to think of what he did to my brother. and her sister-in-law, it felt impossible to take that in. when i saw her mugshot, i didn t even recognize her. she just had a different look about her. she has been in my life for 15 years and i don t even know if she was the next morning, detectives recovered kevin spotty buried in a shallow grave behind that high school, right where morgan said it would be. and the following day, steve
