Family Raises Money for Autopsy

Family and friends of 20-year-old Amanda Wienckowski spent part of Saturday participating in a "Fill the Boot" fundraiser. They're trying to raise $15,000 to pay for a second autopsy of Amanda. Her body was discovered in a garbage tote near Clinton and Spring Street in Buffalo last winter. The medical examiner determined she died from an accidental drug overdose. Amanda's family believes she was murdered and they've found a team of autopsy experts from the west coast who've agreed to give a second opinion, but it will cost $15,000 to take Amanda's body there.
