ZION, Ill. May 9, 2005 The bodies of two young girls were found in a wooded area Monday morning, not long after two 8-year-olds were reported missing, authorities said.
The girls were discovered by a resident walking through the area near Beulah Park in this town north of Chicago, Deputy Chief Clyde Watkins said. A bike path and a ravine run through the area.
"We had a complaint of two missing eight-year-olds earlier," Watkins said. But he said authorities had not confirmed whether the dead children were the ones who had been reported missing.
He said he couldn't comment further on the report or say whether the missing girls were related.
Zion, some 40 miles north of Chicago near the Wisconsin line, has about 22,000 residents

unreal. let's see which neighbors show up on the Megan's Law website for that area.
Prayers up for these babies and their families.
Too many sickos out there.
That said, I get this blank stare from my girlfriend when I tell her to be aware of her surroundings when parking her car in public garages, etc..
I know what you mean. We have to instill fear in our family and friends along the lines of trusting no one and being ever vigilant.

We need public hangings in this country again. There should be no mercy for the trash that would do this, same as in Florida recently. We need a return to the Pax Romana, where one could travel 2000 miles and not fear crime because the criminals vastly more feared the state.
If it turns out a convicted pedophile did this, then it is time to talk about putting these sickos away for life the first time.

Keep it up. It took my Father years to teach me about safety. When I was younger, I thought he was paranoid. I am now very grateful that he persevered.
Hubby thought I was losing it when I told him I never put my car in park at the ATM. When he asked why ever not I told him - if some jerk wants to assault me here I will run over his a$$ and I don't want to have to put it in drive first. :o)
Victim 4?????????????? I have an almost 4yo. This makes me want to go throw up.
