Helpful Score: 2


A young girl on the verge of becoming a woman - generous to those who didn't have the material things she did - murdered by people she knew and trusted. This is a horrific account of a young woman's abduction for ransom that went wrong that lead to her brutal death. Close to her loving father, her abduction was devastating and he made the search for her a personal priority. With the help of her friends, who had become close to her dad, the search took a bitter turn when she was found murdered. Worse for her father was when one extremely "helpful" friend became a suspect.
