Death – Obituary – Accident and Crime News : Body of Missing 20-Year-Old Woman Found in Texas Creek
In a tragic turn of events, the lifeless body of Amanda Stevenson, a 20-year-old woman who had been missing since November 19, was discovered by the police on Tuesday. The chilling discovery took place in a creek located in Victoria, Texas.
The shocking revelation comes just a week after Kevin Bennetsen, a 45-year-old former teacher and Uber driver, who was identified as a suspect in Stevenson’s death, took his own life in front of the officers while being questioned. The incident occurred after he was pulled over by the authorities.
The Victoria County Sheriff’s Department received a distressing call around 11:30 am on Tuesday, reporting a human body found at the 2500 block of Fordyce Road near Patriot Park. Upon immediate arrival, law enforcement officials confirmed the body to be that of Amanda Stevenson. While the cause of her death has not been disclosed, an autopsy has been ordered to shed light on the circumstances surrounding her demise.
Shortly after Stevenson went missing, her family identified Bennetsen as a suspect. They revealed that he was the last person seen with her before her untimely death. The duo was known to frequently go off-roading together, and it was during one of these excursions that Stevenson disappeared.
On November 22, the police searched Bennetsen’s residence and the Yoakum area, where he was often spotted. Later that same day, officers pulled him over for questioning regarding the incident. However, before any information could be obtained, Bennetsen fatally shot himself in the head with a pistol. Despite being rushed to the hospital, he succumbed to his self-inflicted injury shortly after.
In the wake of Stevenson’s tragic passing, numerous individuals from both law enforcement and the community actively participated in the search for her. Devastated by the news of her demise, members of the “Find Amanda Stevenson” Facebook group have reached out for donations to support her grieving family. Contributions are being collected to ensure they have the necessary means to organize services, a memorial candlelight vigil, and any other expenses that may arise as they work towards giving Amanda a proper farewell.
The investigation into Amanda Stevenson’s death continues, with Bennetsen’s wife cooperating with the authorities. As the community mourns this heartbreaking loss, they are left grappling with the unanswered questions surrounding her untimely demise.
