The last victim of Spree Killer,
Nikko Jenkins was Andrea Kruger, who was shot dead on August 21, 2013. We, the
comrades of Unit 1012, want Jenkins to face the death penalty for his crimes.
That is why we endorse Nebraskans for the Death Penalty and we give our strong
support and compassion for the loved ones of Andrea Kruger, so we encourage
those who are Nebraskan registered voters to sign the petition. Do learn from
how Proposition 34 was defeated on November 6, 2012.
Let us not forget Andrea Kruger and
also the other 3 victims of Nikko Jenkins.

Andrea L Kruger Obituary
Date of Birth:

November 21st, 1979
Date of Death:
Wednesday,
August 21st, 2013
Obituary:
Andrea Lynn (Roberts) Kruger was born
on November 21, 1979 in Omaha, Nebraska to Kent and Teri (Freyermuth) Roberts.
She grew up in Valley where she graduated from Valley High School in 1998 and
went on to receive her Business degree from UNO. As a young girl, Andrea was
very active in sports, including soccer, softball, basketball and swimming. Her
charisma and spunk made her the life of the party.
Andrea married Michael-Ryan Kruger on
August 9, 2008 at the First Christian Church in Omaha. They have raised their
children, Jadyn Bender (13) , Ava (4) and Hartley Kruger (22 mo) in Omaha.
She enjoyed browsing for bargains,
creating original gift ideas for others and trying new things. She loved
spending weekdays with girlfriends doing activities with the kids. Andrea was
always on the go, ready to make each day as beautiful as the last. Highlights
in her life include the births of her children, her wedding day, vacationing
with her family and going on trips with her "Vegas Girls".
Andrea was selfless, independent,
strong and the heart of her family. She was loving and nurturing. She had an
energetic personality that enabled others to be better people. She was ornery,
feisty and could push people's buttons then get them to laugh at the same time.
Andrea enjoyed the company of friends and family, country music, traveling and
relaxing at the beach with a good book. The loves of her life were her husband
and kids. She will always be missed but Andrea will inspire us all each day.
Andrea passed away tragically on
August 21, 2013 in Omaha, Nebraska at the age of 33 years and 9 months. She is
survived by her husband Michael-Ryan; children Jadyn, Ava and Hartley all of
Omaha; Parents Kent and Teri Roberts of Valley; brother Ryan (Lori) Roberts of
Omaha; Parents-In-Laws Michael and Mercy Kruger of Omaha; grandparents Joe and
Lois Roberts of Elkhorn, Keith and Mary Ellen Freyermuth of Omaha, Gerald and
Karen Guarino of Fremont, Robert and Rosalie Huey of Battlefield, MO, Barbara
Kruger of Omaha and Theresa Bernal of WY.

Kruger's parents collect signatures for death penalty vote

VALLEY, Neb. —Welcoming people outside
the Valley, Nebraska city hall Saturday, Nebraskans For the Death Penalty had
support from Teri and Kent Roberts.
"It's been kind of a non-stop
line all morning, so we're really excited about that," said Teri Roberts.
The Roberts family lost their beloved
daughter, Andrea Kruger, in August, 2013. Nikko Jenkins is awaiting sentencing
for Kruger's murder and other killings that summer.
Teri Roberts said Saturday, some
people are "evil" and will not benefit from any amount of resources
invested in rehabilitation.
"I think Nikko Jenkins
fits that, and those are the people I think should be held accountable for
their actions and pay the ultimate price with their lives," Roberts explained.
Nebraskans for the Death Penalty says
hundreds of people signed petitions at the Valley location, Saturday, working
to get the issue on the November, 2016 ballot. Rod Edwards, with the campaign,
said petition circulators are at events across the state.
"The Roberts family is truly
loved in Valley, so a lot of people are coming because they know [them],"
Edwards added, speaking about the turnout in Douglas County.
Caryl Beaver signed the petition after
grieving Kruger's loss.
"I knew Andrea," she said,
"I taught her Sunday school as a matter of fact. I think what they're
doing is right. We need to be able to vote on this issue."
Kruger's father, Kent Roberts, said no
matter the outcome, it's about the opportunity to vote. "If the people
vote it down, I'll live with that," Kent Roberts said, "but I don't
think they will."
A group fighting the death penalty
petitions is working with a $400,000 donation from the Proteus Action League,
asking voters to "decline to sign" the petitions.
