We still don't know who killed Summer Shipp, who disappeared in December 2004 while conducting door-to-door surveys in Independence. Almost three years later, a couple of fishermen discovered Shipp's remains in the Little Blue River. And a month later, Shipp's daughter, Brandy Shipp, filed a wrongful-death lawsuit, alleging that the marketing companies that her mother worked for were negligent and failed to protect her mother.
A federal judge dismissed the case last July. Yesterday, an appeals panel blocked the lawsuit, The Kansas City Star reported. "We will find out who did this to my mother," Brandy Shipp told the Star.
Hopefully, Shipp finds peace.

That hurt my brain.
What happened to her mother was awful, but it most likely was not in any way the fault of her employer. How are you supposed to protect someone who goes door-to-door, have a security guard follow them around?
I feel bad for Brandy, but this lawsuit was BS and deserved to be thrown out. Frivolous suits like this just make it harder for people with legit grievances to be heard, and the justice system already has plenty of pro-business bias.
