Chappell on Tuesday conducted a funeral for the 15-year-old girl, who her mother, Angela Boyd, claimed had been raped and murdered by her father in Iowa.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe showed up with an urn and a box that was marked for donations to the Autism Society,\u201d Chappell said. \u201cShe came up and began to read from a handwritten statement, and it just tore us up. People were crying. Mothers were bawling. I was crushed.\u201d<\/p>\n

After Boyd finished speaking, her brother, Brian LeMaster, walked to the podium and informed everyone that the girl was not dead.<\/p>\n

LeMaster had heard about the funeral plans and contacted family and authorities in Iowa to check on the story.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt first, I am thinking, \u2018That\u2019s right, she has gone to be with the Lord,'\u201d Chappell said. \u201cBut then he says he has talked with (the girl\u2019s) grandmother and he talked with the police in Iowa and they validated that she is in a facility for children with disabilities and behavior problems and she is actually alive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chappell, who filed a report Thursday with Richmond police, said Boyd ran from the church and has not been seen since. He thinks she faked the girl\u2019s death and planned the funeral to get money.\u00a0 READ THE REST OF THE ARTICLE HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
