Michele Avila Biography

Michele Avila is one of the most popular and richest Murder Victim who was born on February 8, 1968 in Los Angeles, California, United States. Michele Yvette Avila, February 8, 1968 – October 2, 1986) was an American teenager. She was assassinated by Karen Severson (her former best friend and rival), in October 1985.

Severson was released from prison and began to promote a memoir about her crime and prison experience. Avila’s family sued Avila in 2015 to get the proceeds of the film production. Missy’s Law was passed by the State of California. It requires entities that help publish works made illegally to notify the families of victims.

Severson, Doyle, and a third defendant, were convicted of second-degree murder in March 1990 and sentenced to fifteen years to life imprisonment. Later, jurors said that they weren’t convinced the murder was planned and dismissed the first degree murder charge. After serving 23.5 years in prison, Karen Severson was freed from prison on December 9, 2011. Laura Doyle was released in December 2012, after having served 22 years.

Avila informed her mother on October 2, 1985 that she was going out with Laura Doyle, a school friend. Doyle picked Avila up, and the two of them left. Doyle called Avila’s mother four hours later and asked Missy to speak with her. Avila’s mother informed Doyle that her daughter was not with Doyle. Doyle then told Avila that Doyle had dropped Avila off with three young boys in a blue Camaro. Doyle claimed that she had gas and returned to the spot where Avila was dropped off, but the three boys were still there.

The case was closed because there were no leads from police. Eva Chirumbolo (a teen who drove 45 minutes into the mountains) came forward in July 1988 and reported to police the murder. Severson, Doyle were both arrested and charged for first-degree murder. According to the prosecutors Severson, Doyle lured Avila into the creek and then began to yell at Avila about her supposed promiscuity. Both girls accused Avila of having sex and said that she had broken up too many relationships. They then placed Avila face-down in six inches of water. The two placed a log of approximately 100 pounds and four feet long on Avila’s body to hold it down.
