## Resource

A man recently released from prison for manslaughter is now facing murder charges just months after his release—raising chilling questions about justice, parole, and the fate of a grieving daughter who feels her mother was ignored. Todd Donaldson, who killed a teen in 2016, walked free in February 2025 after serving two-thirds of his sentence—but now, less than a year later, he’s accused of killing Tiffani Ellert, his daughter’s best friend. Faith Hagen, Ellert’s daughter, is furious authorities dismissed her warnings about her mother’s disappearance, and she’s determined to make sure no one else suffers the same fate. As the investigation unfolds and Donaldson prepares for his next court date, the community watches with dread—and demands answers.
