Palmer Rally before the indictment for a man who is charged with the death of Wasilla Teen's overdose

Anchorage, Alaska (Ktuu) – A rally took place on Monday in the courthouse in Palmer to sharpen a ongoing court case in which a man was involved in accused of making a fatal dose of fentanyl available to a Wasilla Teenager.

After a preliminary examination last year, the authorities said that the 16 -year -old Alena toennis experienced an overdose in fentanyl when she had to die on a Wasilla path. Alaska State Troopers reported several months after toennis had been found dead that the Alaska Bureau of Investigation was of the opinion that 45-year-old Sean Mabley, who is now exposed to several charges in connection with the death of Taennis, was introduced to the fentanyl that she killed.

Mobley is currently charged with murder, homicide and misconduct on the first degree because of the second degree murder, which affects a controlled substance in relation to the death of toennis.

The rally on Monday, in which around 20 people were in solidarity outside the court building, was originally supposed to take place shortly before a preliminary hearing for Mabley. Mobley's hearing, however, was brought to the court on Tuesday in the Palmer Courthouse on a trial.

Nevertheless, family and friends said a certain relief during the rally and announced that they “were really happy that there was an arrest”.

“We don't want him to get out of anything,” said Alena's sister Elyssa Toennis. “We really want it to be pursued in full criminal law … and we still don't have the feeling that we have justice. But we are on our route to get there, you know.”

Sandy Snodgrass, who lost her 22-year-old son against an overdose of Fentanyl in 2021, was instrumental in organizing the rally on Monday together with the toennis family. She also led a campaign in which HB 66 was finally ill, which is also known as Bruce's Law and is named after her son Robert Bruce Snodgrass, and is looking for harder punishments against people who were convicted of spreading illegal drugs.

“[We’re here] In order to support law enforcement and law enforcement to help those who distribute willing illegal drugs to raise the highest possible charges and death, ”said Snodgrass.

Snodgrass said that the changes within HB 66 and by leaving the law in January of this year came into force. Toennis died in November 2024, which would probably have been charged with the new law, otherwise Mobley would probably have been charged after the latest version.

An AST shipping was published as a development in the investigation of the death of toennis and partly said that the ABI found that “Mobley tonis Fentanyl made it available before relying on a Wasilla path when she experienced an overdose”.

However, load documents also show that another person had experienced an overdose on the same fentanyl, the Alena and the same night was given, but that the individual was given and survived.

Ast said Alena was due to the consequences of an overdose from the fentanyl Mobley, but the accusations also quote hypothermia as one of the factors to her death and said there were signs that she was still alive when she was on the way in the snow.

Toennis' uncle, lazlo toennis, said that the entire situation was tragic, the fact that her death might have been avoided was one of the most difficult parts with which one could accept come to terms with. If Mobley had decided to take her to a hospital instead of leaving her outside in freezing temperatures, he said she could still be alive.

“If you can give someone so young a deadly dose of drugs,” he said, “knew that it was a deadly dose of drugs, and then throw them out of their vehicle and roll them over the Böche? It's pretty difficult to swallow.”
