So sad. I agree that sadly, the parents are not long for this world, unless they have other children or family close by who can sustain them.
He will, but should not, blame himself.
Perhaps FR can do something for them. Obviously, a daughter is irreplaceable, but perhaps we can reach out to them; perhaps create a GoFundMe account?
I will look into it. This is a terribly sad story.
It struck me when I first read about it, and for months I thought they would never catch the person who did it.
