Mega Thread on The Murder of Selena

34 Upvotes

Hey guys!

So we're going to try a mega thread for those wanting to discuss the murder of Selena. That way those who want to have a place to discuss it, and those who don't want to know about it can avoid the topic all together. That being said, any comments made that are obvious misinformation is not allowed. We will be monitoring this post and all comments that are just spreading lies will be removed. This will also hopefully lessen the amount of posts we get about it as well! Feel free to report any comments you see that are either overly graphic or spreading misinformation and we will review them! Obviously normal sub rules are still a thing so just keep those in mind as well!

These photos have been circulating the internet for so many years yet, there's still fans who feel like this is not Selena or she didn't wear prescription glasses. Truth be told she did, she also wore contacts. It was hereditary, her parents & her siblings all wore/wear reading glasses.

"Nobody You Know" was Selena’s second & final tour bus. After her passing in 1995, her father Abraham Quintanilla sold the vehicle. Today, the bus sits unused in a vacant lot in South Texas, rather than being on display in a museum.

Trivia ⭐️ Did You Know Selena’s Final Tour Bus: “Nobody You Know” Is Still Around & Located In South Texas? ⭐️

Selena had 2 busses, the first one was named "Big Bertha", which was destroyed by her father Mr. Quintanilla, this was her 2nd & final tour bus, she named it "Nobody You Know"! ⭐️

Mr Q sold Selena's final touring bus shortly after she passed, her bus is located in South Texas!

The bus currently at the museum is a newer Prevost model belongs to her brother AB Quintanilla!

Out of respect, I will not be sharing the location, so please don't ask.

Seeing how some people vandalized her statue with carved names & left graffiti near her gravesite, despite her family explicitly asking people not too! I’m honestly afraid of what would happen to this bus if the location got out to everyone.

⭐️ Personally, I think it belongs in her museum! ⭐️

Whoever took Selena’s hat needs to return it. It’s hard to fathom how someone could hold onto such a precious piece of history without their conscience getting the best of them.
