“[The fact that] somebody could just throw her on the side of the road like garbage…like she was nothing,” Alexis’s friend, Devin Stiehler, said. “It astonishes me, it blows me away that such a horrible and disgusting thing could happen to such a beautiful person because nobody deserves that.”
In the meantime, her husband described their marriage as happy and said they did not have plans to divorce. He added that he is cooperating with the police.
So far, no arrests have been made.
