Judicial Injustices - The Stalking & Murder of 16 Year Old Laurie Show

It was the summer of 1991 in East Lampeter Township, Penn. Before the year was over, four teenagers from different circles would find themselves drawn into a deadly triangle that would end in the tragic death of 16 year old Laurie Show. Lisa Michelle Lambert began dating Lawrence "Butch" Yunkin. Soon the couples fixation with each other would spin horribly out of control and they began having violent arguments. The destructive relationship only got worse when the couple began using other people to make each other jealous. This particular summer, Lawrence sought out 15 year old Laurie Show. Laurie was a fun loving and popular 10th grader who everybody loved to be around. The couple dated twice during a one week relationship. On their second date, Lawrence raped the innocent 15 year old in the back of his van, a charge which Yunkin denies.. After the alleged date rape, Laurie confided her terrible secret in both her parents.

John Show (Laurie's Father): " Lawrence had Laurie out, and he raped her in the back of the van. And Laurie was petrified. She didn't want nobody to know about it. And she said, you know, "Let's forget about it."

It was during this time frame, Lisa and Lawrence got back together. When Lisa learned that Lawrence had dated Laurie she nearly went insane with jealousy. However, it wasn't the dating that had Lisa in an uproar, it was the idea that Lawrence had slept with another girl, completely ignoring the fact that it was not consensual.

Lisa Lambert: "Lawrence was the first guy I had ever trusted. I was angry when I learned he slept with someone else."

These violent, jealous feelings grew into uncontrollable urges when Lisa learned she was pregnant. Lisa would then take her pent up anger and fixate it on 16 year old Laurie Show by stalking her in public.
