This story is a listener suggestion from Scarlett.

The weather in Omaha, Nebraska was treacherous on Tuesday, January 4, 2005; there was a snowstorm & the temperature with the windchill was negative ten degrees. Janelle Hornickle & her boyfriend, Michael Wamsley,  were heading home from Kearney, Nebraska back to their apartment in Omaha about 186 miles away; they were both twenty-years-old when they got stuck in the storm. Allison tells us the rest of this sad story.
