Life360 App Helps Police Find Missing 13 Yr. Old: Justice for Savannah Copeland
27 Feb 2025
In 2024, 13-year-old middle schooler Savannah Copeland was stabbed to death by a local 15-year-old boy. Using the tracking app Life360, her parents were able to track her phone which helped in leading them towards her location on a trail in the woods. Instead of a regular memorial on the spot where Savannah was found, her parents wanted to turn the area into a peaceful place in nature for people to enjoy or go to pay their respects.

Full Episode
Hello, everyone, and welcome back to True Crime with Kendall Rae. Thank you so much for joining me today. And if you're new, then welcome. I'm so happy to have you here. So, guys, today I won't sugarcoat it. We are talking about a devastating case. I mean, as they all are. But today we are talking about the murder of a 13-year-old girl, a 7th grader, Savannah Copeland.
And what happened to her, there are just no words. It is beyond horrific. And... I debated on whether or not to cover it because it's so new. It's still very much developing. There's still a lot that we don't know, but I was really inspired by hearing her family speak, especially her father, Michael, and just his strength and his love for his daughter is...
It just makes me emotional thinking about it. And not to mention the community surrounding this family, the people who have fought to make sure that Savannah's story is told and that people are more aware that they are trying to do everything they can to support this family through one of the worst things that could ever happen to you, which is losing a child in the way that this family did.
And even though these cases are so difficult to speak about, especially now as a parent myself, I just... It's hard to even imagine being in the Copeland's family's shoes at this time. But I think it's really important that Savannah's story is told, that their story is told, that other parents are made aware of what can happen and how to best keep your child as safe as you possibly can.
And this family really did do so much to try and keep Savannah safe. So I'm hoping that we can show them support as they head into the next phases of this case. And speaking of support, I also wanted to make sure that if their family is watching this or if anyone knows the Copeland family and can get them a message, we're going to be doing our best to reach out as well.
But I would love to get them a Hope Grant. If you're not aware, my foundation, Higher Hope, offers two different grants. the hope grant is one of them and we're basically seeking to provide one-time financial assistance to victims of a violent crime as well as to their families so we would love to help you guys in whatever way you need we can start that conversation and figure out how to do that
And I think I mentioned this last week as well, but for any of you out there who are curious about what we are doing through the Higher Hope Foundation, you can actually check out our impact report for 2024, which we just had launched in September. So this is just what we have been able to do in a short amount of time, thanks to all of your support.
And again, just watching the shows helps us fund the foundation and everything that we're doing. But if you are interested in making a donation to Higher Hope, we would
greatly appreciate it it will allow us to help even more families and like-minded nonprofits and organizations so if you want to learn more about my foundation it will be linked below in the description box and if you are listening to this episode on a podcast platform you can find it linked in the show notes and then before
