Was Yust To Blame?

Once again, authorities had Yust in the middle of another missing person’s investigation. And this time, there seemed to be more evidence for the police to go on. Yust was last seen with Runion leaving a party on September 8. Then 2 days later, Jessica’s car was found burning in a tunnel. When Yust was tracked down by police, he had visible burn marks and scratches on his hands and face. Although he denies any involvement in her disappearance, police still charged Yust with “knowingly burning” her car.

Forming Friendships Over Heartache

Since Kara’s mom still believes that Yust is responsible for her daughter’s disappearance, as soon as she heard about another young woman possibly victimized by Yust, she made sure to get in touch with Runion’s mother Jamie to show her support and solidarity. Kara’s mom, Rhonda said, “I don’t think I could get through this without (the Runions) and my family and friends.”
