Family urges suspect to surrender in Vegas manicurist death

LAS VEGAS — The family of a Las Vegas woman accused of using a stolen car to run over and kill a nail salon owner after failing to pay for a manicure is urging her to surrender.

In an interview that aired Monday on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” the mother and grandmother of 21-year-old Krystal Whipple said she has to come out of hiding.

Mother Sharon Whipple apologized to the victim’s family and hoped they could eventually forgive her daughter.
