Two
Against One: Teenage Love and Murder in Redlands
When
Kelly Bullwinkle took Kinzie Noordman to her senior prom, it could
have been the start of something positive for the 17-year-old animal
lover who was just starting to figure out who she was and what she
wanted from life. Instead, the prom kicked off a long, hot summer
of love triangles, jealousies, betrayals and drug use that ended with
Noordman and friend Damien Guerrero killing Bullwinkle and leaving
her body in a shallow grave. Noordman and Guerrero say it was a practical
joke gone awry. With the two alleged teen murderers facing a possible
death sentence, nobody is laughing. BY
