My heart goes out to the partents of Jesika Kelsey.
Really ?…This is what the world has come to killing and sexually assaulting your family, your own flesh and blood this is truly disturbing. My prayers go out to the parents of Jesika Kelsey.

This truely shows you what the united states miliatary does to some people. the things they instill and pound in your mind… if a human is not menatally stable enough to handle it the correct way it leads to things like this.. the majority of sereal or high profile murders have been commited by past military personal. im not saying its the armys fault, not one bit, but i went to school with her and i knew her brother… the army needs to study the people they let in alot deeper before inlisting. especially with society these days. R.I.P jess. we love you and your in our prayers.

Poor girl.
I was a victim of incest and it is horrific. You are suppose to be able to trust your family if no one else. Too bad MI doesn’t have the death penalty, because Steven certainly deserves it. Rest in peace, Jesika.

Hi, what all have look over is mutilation of a corpse that alone is very wrong . and the to stab her twice and 2nd though the eye that really messedup this guy needs to be delt with through the public court and the military courts i know people that went though basic training and nowhere does it state impale through eye this is only my opinion

This is just crazy! How does one think of this out of nowhere? Did he say why or try to justify it at all? That poor girl and her family, he needs to be put away!
note from blog owner
Maya,
The crazy part is that he IS part of her family. He was her brother. I cannot imagine what her parents are going thru.

Yea, that just makes it that much worse. I saw a quote from his mother that someone posted on Dreamin Demon. Someone asked if she had spoken to steve and she said “No I haven’t, and I don’t intend to”, or something along those lines.

I’ve known Jesika for almost 4 years now. We were really close friends when I first moved to Michigan because we lived so close to each other. It was funny because she was always trying to escape her family and vice versa, so we sort of found each other. You know how teenagers work.
I attended her funeral today and I would like to say that she looked absolutely amazing. I love her so much and Mommy (Jenny Spencer) was so lucky to have had her. She was an amazing daughter and an even better friend.
Now on the subject of Steven Kelsey. He’s always kind of been a bit off, from my experiences with him. He wasn’t home often, but when he was he was really distant and he kind of just watched everyone. I used to kind of pity him. Now, I just hope he gets it from the UCMJ (is that what its called? I can’t remember). Seriously. Because if I ever hear of him getting out for whatever reason, I will truly flip a lid. I know that everything that happens to him in prison will be 10x worse than what he’s done to both his sister and mommy.
And to be honest, I really hope so.

jesika was one of my friends. i was appalled and dumbfounded when i heard he murdered. she was such an amazing girl. she was smart, beautiful, and very kind to others.
i am so angry that michigan doesn’t have the death penalty.
i believe that if a person takes someone’s life, they too should be out to death.
eye for an eye.
i hope he rots in hell for what he did.
rip jessica.

My mind has been haunted by this story ever since I heard of it and investigated it.
I have looked at so many sides and so many aspects. I am aware that the only people who will ever really know what transpired that day are Jessica, Stephen, and God.
Life can seem so unfair at times… but life can not be taken for granted – it is a privilege and a gift that has been given to us.
What never fails to amaze me though is what our species is capable of. We are the (supposedly) most advanced life form on this planet. How has our species been able to evolve and remain at the height of the ‘food chain’. Just look at what we do to one another. We steal from one another, lie to one another, rape and murder one another. (I say “we” as a general term for human species)
We are supposed to be working together. We are all one in the same. We are supposed to be at peace with one another but that is not how the world works. Why? Why? WHY?
Then if the human species feels the need to possess wrath for its own kind… how is it possible for one to possess this kind of wrath and commit such brutality onto their own flesh and blood? Their own family?
This was an act of rage… and from what I can tell from the evidence provided – one that was thought out before hand – meaning not a crime of passion.
I see people like to blame the military for turning people into monsters. Some people are ignorant and blinded by their own emotions. My cousin is a Marine… he puts his life on the line because he believes in and loves his country. It is not about politics. It is about him, in his heart feeling that he has love for all of us, all of you, that he feels the need to protect and fight to defend us. I can not imagine the things he has seen with his eyes or the things he has done with his hands. All I know is that because of him I am safe to sit here comfortably and even write about my country in the first place. My point is only that he is a good man. Some people, granted, join the military because they want to KILL… they don’t care about protecting, they want to create blood shed. They don’t care about the love for their people and their land. They just want to torture their own species and create bloodshed. Yes, some people are fucked up. But I guarantee you, they were fucked up before they joined the military. Some people are obviously just fucked up.
There are many people in this world who are not in the military and who never were and they do sick shit just like Stephen did. You can not blame the internet for it, you can not blame tv, movies, music, or any of that shit on it. Each of us possesses the freedom to choose and decide to do with our life whatever we chose to do with it.
I have a theory. Religion was the first basis for governing the people… for creating a better life and for causing the movement of humanity. I think that through evolution religion has encoded itself onto our DNA. After years of practicing these basic morals and principals we began to develop feelings and emotions that changed us forever and were passed down and taught to our young for so many years that it has just become instilled into us. But, how can some people still do what happened here?
Maybe that part of the DNA never formed in fetal development? I don’t know. I am constantly haunted by why people do things like this to their own species and I hope that it is seriously scientifically studied.
Some people just snap, and there has to be a reason why. I don’t care what the economy is like, what a person’s marriage is like, if sibling rivalry is involved or not, financial status, divorce, abuse… people always relate these types of things with why people do something so horrific and I can not agree. I can not fathom that a human being can murder another human being just because someone cut them off in traffic. It is a crap excuse and I won’t take it for a minute. There is something internally, chemically, and genetically wrong with any creature that is capable of committing such a horrific act of brutally sickening rage – after being given the miraculously gracious gift of life on earth.
There is only one person who can tell us what really happened that day. It seems impossible to believe or have any ounce of trust in the words of a murderer and rapist though. People like this should never be allowed to be part of society ever again. I would like to think and believe that he would be tortured by this for the rest of his life – but the fact is that if a human being is capable of feeling an emotion that regret, then they would never be capable of doing something this horrific in the first place. Whatever happens to him for the rest of his life on this earth will be nothing that I can have a deciding factor in. But I do sincerely hope that there is a hell and when he gets there the same thing he did to his sister – I hope it happens to himself over and over again for all eternity. As well I hope that he will be plagued with regret for all eternity in his death.
I hope that justice will be served. I pray that Jesika, where ever her soul may be now, finds peace and happiness and is surrounded by love for all eternity.
God Bless the Innocent. I wish I was powerful enough to force peace upon this world. Unfortunately… peace and love are left up to the people to decide. I wish I could understand why some feel that they do not deserve it, or why some feel that it should not be allowed.

I am sorry to hear about Jesika. It is awful that her brother raped and murdered her – things like this should never happen.
I don’t know the family dynamics, but should hope that this case will make all parents watch their kids a little closer & make sure that when they see behavior that is alarming – get help immediately by a qualified, objective, medical doctor.
My heart goes out to Jesika & I hope she rests in peace.

Mornin’! I must say that since my brother graduated from Basic on Friday, I was appalled to have heard that this happened to this young lady. He’s mentioned two guys didn’t return for New Year’s: this guy and another guy who may’ve gone AWOL, I guess (?).
}
My brother shared this story with us on Family Day (Thursday). This guy that did this was in my brother’s bunk and even my brother said he was a little off. If my brother thinks you’re off, we know something’s wrong with that picture.
{Hell, my brother’s “off,” too, but, in a great way! Very outgoing, happy, etc.
He said that the other guys would refer to this cat as “gay” and my brother said that he honestly defended him, saying things like, “Ya know, he’s a little strange, but, I don’t think he’s gay…”
But, WTH?! I can’t and won’t imagine my brother doing that to me! I just had to Google this story b/c… it bothered me.
Anywho, God bless her family & friends, God bless her, and bless everyone’s who’d commented- I am absolutely saddened for everyone’s loss, along with my brother.

I didn’t know you Jesika, you’ve never seen my face, I doubt our paths have ever crossed, but I saw your picture today in the paper today, I only paused to look longer because of your stunning good looks, soft features and kind eyes. I thought you are young enough to be my own daughter or maybe my eighteen year old son could come walking proudly through the door with you on his arm and I would be happy for him, but then I started to focus on the words that surounded your picture and the person next to you, those words and those pictures didn’t go together (I thought you both should be going to prom and going off to collage), as I read on,my heart sank and I hurt deeply for you(not for your family or your friends),but just for a moment and just for YOU. I am a brother, I am a father, I am a husband, and a friend and I can only promise you little girl(I know it’s too late to help you now), but I will raise my three sons to be decent men, that are kind hearted and gentle to their wives, sisters, girlfriends and respectful to their momma. I will make sure that they understand that they are to honor the trust given them by the women in their lives and to help protect them, even with their own lives if need be, because that is what REAL MEN do! They love in truth and in deed, I’m sorry you never knew an honest touch of love from your brother(nothing sick or perverted)just decent real brotherly love (think of your own sisters when you read this, guys!) how dare he, being created in Gods image(I’m no Bible thumper), but how dare he offend his generations, violate her trust and do such a awful thing, just to turn around and murder her simply because she had outgrown that place and that time, she would not suffer it to be so again. He made her pay with her blood (as a virgin eleven year old inocent girl), and now as he snuffed out her life, but with her dying breath she asked “Stephen, Why?” with forgiveness on her lips, possibly she felt bad for him as well, “Stephen,Why? Why did you destroy your life too? Why both of our lives, our family and friends…Stephen,WHY? I can not think of anything I would say to him, but I do think he should pay with his blood like she had to, but I think that somehow that would offend her(though I never knew her), I imagine she would not have wanted that for her brother. I think possibly she knew what it meant to be a sister, maybe somewhere/somehow she had found what real, decent, and honest love was all about and maybe thats why she refused to have any part of these sick crimes against her body and her mind any longer. I know some of the things I said might be offensive to her friends or family, but I do not intend anything I said to hurt anyone…enough hurt has already been done. I just felt really sad for this beautifull young girl that suffered too much, sad enough to make a total stranger take an hour out of his day to reflect on what is really important in his own life and should be important in all of ours…thanks for the time Jesika(sister). Rest in peace.

I knew your brother in high school. we shared classes and walked the same halls, and even then, he was “off”. I knew one day that he would do something that would destroy so many. And i want him to suffer and think about what he did. He is the lowest you can get. The military didnt do it, he was always like that. And im sorry i never got close to you. Im sorry that i didnt understand you. I hope you move on and rest in peace. May your sould fly high and safe.

Though I haven’t seen Jesika since Middle School she was a great friend. We all miss you Jesika… R.I.P. I will remember all the things all of our friends, you, and I had done. It is a shame you had to die in such a way… young and beautiful, having your life cut short.
I also knew Steven in High School, it is sort of hard to believe he done that. Last time I saw Steven was at another one of our friends Graduation parties in 2007 (then I moved). Though there were times it would seem he might do something to ruin his future, I just never thought it would be this.
My heart and prayers go out to the family who is suffering… I pray the best for the family in their time of need.

The Steven I knew would not have done this…I still believe that I am the only one that can find out the motive from him….but nobody will take me seriously. He was a true friend and so was Jess and they got along well…I hung out with both of them…this whole thing still confuses me till this day and I wish I could ask him …why?
