Here Are the Trans Americans Killed in 2022 So Far
Author: Trudy Ring
Fern Feather, 29, of Hinesburg, Vt., was found stabbed to death April 12 along a road in another Vermont community, Morristown, and the man charged has made statements amounting to a “trans panic” defense. Seth Brunell, 43, told police Feather had made a sexual advance toward him and “attacked” him, so he had to defend himself. But police said they saw no signs of a struggle and that Brunell was not injured. He is charged with second-degree murder.
Feather’s friends described her in glowing terms. “Fern was one of the most brilliant, colorful, loving, special, super special people that you would ever meet,” Nina Shoenthal told Vermont Public Radio. “The kind of person that everyone loved. Everyone wanted to be close with.”
