ORDER REPRINT OF THIS STORY
Some of the bones found two days ago in rural Cass County have been identified as those of missing Raymore woman Jessica Runions.
Kansas City Police notified the Runions family Wednesday evening, according to a release from the Cass County Sheriff’s Office. Runions, 21, was last seen on Sept. 8.
Forensic specialists were called in after a mushroom hunter found human bones Monday afternoon near a quarry in rural Cass County. One skull was found the first day of the search and a second the day after.

It would be interesting if he had any stories of him growing up, showing any psychopathic tendencies. Killing pets, wetting the bed as an older child, arson etc. [Reply]

It's got to be tough to be related to a terrible criminal. I remember the Columbine parents being interviewed about that. They became pariahs and were judged as terrible parents based on what their kids did. I think one of the moms eventually started fighting back about it, but good luck with that.
IIRC they were building bombs in their garages. Sorry, if you don't take note of that, you're not a good parent. [Reply]

I don't know about that. I never asked him or saw anyone ask him about it, but I'd imagine that it more that he didn't want to have to worry about answering questions about his grandson. Who could blame him? [Reply]
According to court records, Kylr Yust is charged with murder for the deaths of Kara Kopetsky and Jessica Runions. Updates @KCTV5 6 and 10pm pic.twitter.com/H5iVvpXuQG
This guy better go down so he can't ever do this again. One of the most infuriating cases ever. We all knew he did it, but the police & prosecutors hands were tied. If there is anybody that deserves to fry its this motherfucker. Just reading old police reports of things he did, threatened to old GFs was really chilling [Reply]

yes - it's about time - but so glad it happened - Sauto was following this case too - hope he sees this - I actually joined the sleuth group on FB and it was interesting for about a week. But then felt really unnerving, eventually - so I ended up leaving it. Just glad he is going to get his. [Reply]

Yeah a good friend on mine is one of the girls' uncle.
Honestly i wish we had known he was that close to me when they got him. They kept it quieter than any thing in Benton co. History before they went to get him.
