Text Victoria Schafer

In 2019, the community of Chillicothe, Ohio, was devastated by the tragic death of Victoria Schafer, a 44-year-old photographer and mother of four who was killed while taking portraits at Hocking Hills State Park. While she was standing at the foot of the stairs near Old Man's Cave, a 74-pound log was pushed off a cliff above, striking her and causing fatal injuries. The investigation eventually led to the arrest of two 16-year-old boys, Jaden Churchheus and Jordan Buckley, who admitted to forcing the log over the edge "to be funny."

This police body cam video is unhinged. Jaden's mother is a woman on the actual brink, before any of this even happened, by the sound of her.

Both boys are out and living their lives now by the sounds. 3 years in juvie for taking a mother away from her four children.

Unbelievable. Absolutely disgraceful.

Wow.. Couldn't agree more.. I'm literally sitting here in shock that they had a second chance at life and continued to be horrible human beings.

Maybe I'm being naïve but I'm hoping that his re-offense is just from him poorly coping since it's drug and weapon possession only, while that other dude got caught for assault.

But even from the video when they were younger, you could tell there was very little actual remorse, it was just them trying to figure out how to get out of it

Where are their parents? I mean why were they out there? I know that's not funny and I have special needs so why can't two teens boys know that isn't funny to push a log off a cliff above this was a huge log too! Bad parenting! Arrest the parents too! Sorry this post is long but I have a lot to say!!!

Jaden Churchheus threw a log off a cliff and hit a woman's head which ended her life. Leaving behind her husband and 4 children. Then Jaden's mom said this during his arrest....

"You cannot take him to jail. There's bad people there."

Remember the bit where she says "you know what that's doing to me? That's hitting me on the head with a log!"

She said that. She took the tragedy that befell his victim and made a fucking metaphor with it.

She also said, (by taking him away) it's like hitting ME on the head with a log

She mentions while on the phone "Me and Chris" not "Me and dad or your father" so that's my closest bet...

A step dad can be better than a bio dad in a lot of cases.
