Heather Lee Sims

The story

From Alton, Illinois U.S. She was suffocated to death, and her body was placed in a garbage bag in a freezer then dumped in a trash can. All because the father didn't want another girl. Their oldest child Lorelei born in 1986 was also killed by her mother just for being a girl.

  🕯 None of your parents hung any photos of you. :'( So sad they deserted you just before your death.

  🕯 RIP sweet angel. So sad-you would have grown up to be a wonderful little girl.

  Can't believe for that family being born a female meant trouble. That is so messed up. I guess some couples are the same way with babies being born males.
