PRESENTATION
WHERE'S APRIL?
In March of 2009 April Pease was staying at a Women's Shelter in Bloomington, MN, with her young son, Adrian. They were in-hiding from April's ex-boyfriend, CM, who was also the Father of Adrian.
Leaving a quasi “confession” video behind, and using whatever means he could to locate her, CM and his current girlfriend went on a multiple day trip to Minnesota, ultimately killing April Pease and arranging for Adrian to look like an abandoned child so that he could gain full custody of the boy.
Lies, deceit, and more murder victims lead to justice for April Pease.
