Sad details I dug up (the part about the car accident I’ve only seen in a blogger post, so can’t be sure if it’s real). Her parents are separated, father is an Iraq war veteran who lives in NC and was recovering from injuries from a car accident, and unable to go help search for his daughter. Poor guy. Got home from a tough tour of duty in a war zone, marriage fell apart, got in a bad car accident, and then his little girl gets killed — and who knows when he last saw her, between how far away he lives and his injuries.

Damn. This is not my area of the state but it seems like the bad things always happen in FL.
