Young life taken

My sister, Mary Frances Stoner, was born January 10th, 1967 to my parents, Roy and Mary Stoner. She was a precious child and loved by many. Mary Frances enjoyed ballet (en pointe), baton twirling, reading and spending time with her family. She was a voracious reader and loved learning about everything around her but her dream was to perform in the New York Ballet one day.
She was only 12 years old on November 30th 1979, when the life coursing through her body was extinguished by a callous man named, Darrell Gene Devier. Over the course of the next few blog posts I will delve more into Mary Frances's life, her murder, the subsequent trials, appeals, and the ultimate sentence completion that ended Devier's life.

Welcome to The Twyford Files!

Hello and welcome to The Twyford Files (TTF)! :) 

Contained therein I will explore different aspects of criminal justice from unsolved crimes, murders, serial killers, rapists, deviant behavior, psychological theories, etc. 

The first case I will be discussing is the murder of my older sister, Mary Frances Stoner, in November 1979. I will discuss briefly my family and more importantly my sister through her short life. I will then move on to the murder trials, the verdicts, and the subsequent sentencing and death of her murderer. 

Please feel free to email or post me ideas you would like for me to discuss. 
Thank you again for visiting!

V/R,
Sallie Stoner-Twyfor
