Later a classmate would come forward after seeing a news broadcast to say that he had been told years earlier that a fellow classmate had murdered Russell because he thought Russell was a "loser". He claimed that the rival stabbed Russell and left Russell to die alone in the woods. The caller stated that he thought this kid was joking and he was afraid of him as well, so he never told anybody. Charges would be brought against Sean Vieweg (Russell's killer). He was given a short sentence for his crimes, and for what reason, it is not clear.
The nigthmare does not end there. While waiting for the coroner's office to complete all tests on Russell's remains, someone Russell's remains were LOST. The exact location of where the remains could have gotten to is unknown. This memorial was erected for Russell to remember him and to give friends, family, and concerned citizens a place to leave notes and flowers. Maybe once day Russell's remains can be recovered and laid to rest in a proper way. Until then, may he rest in peace wherever he may be right now.
