FAMILY DRAMA WRIT LARGE

By Bob Walsh

 

Conner Kobold

Shanelle Burns

 

Shanelle Burns, 43, was an administrator Loyola University in Chicago.  Her son was apparently a 19-year old loser deadbeat.  His mom actually served an eviction notice on his happy ass on February 5 of this year.  He could avoid eviction by keeping his room in some sort of decent shape, help out with keeping the common areas of the house clean and find a job within 30 days.  Instead, on February 7, he avoided being evicted by (allegedly) murdering his mom.  

It seems the son then called 911 five times in Valparaiso, Indiana where they lived.   When the cops showed up he asked them to hook him up and throw him into the police car.  He had some scratches on his face.  He told the cops there was a "dead person" in the house and that he had killed that person.

The cops found her just barely alive.  She was taken to the hospital but died two days later of significant brain damage apparently due to manual strangulation and other injuries.  The son, Conner Kobold, is currently a guest of the Porter County Jail and is being held without bond for battery and murder.

The son had been a student at the United States Merchant Marine Academy in 2022 but apparently that didn't work out for him.  He might be able to get a steady job making license plates now unless they skrag him.  Indiana still has a death penalty and they have recently been able to get a drug supplier so they can again perform executions.
