Tragic outcome — Girl found dead in nearby South Salt Lake apartment

I heard the Amber Alert on the radio while in my car this afternoon. I was quite frustrated that they went on and on about the details of the case, but in all their reporting, they never gave a description of the missing girl, but kept referring us to the station's website for a description. Now, it sounds like it wouldn't have helped in this case because she had been abducted by someone in the same apartment complex and wouldn't have been outside to be seen, but as a general rule, wouldn't it make sense to mobilize all the people in cars as part of your virtual search team by broadcasting a description of the missing child? I was flabbergasted.

To seek refuge in this country because you feel it is so much better... then to have your daughter abducted and murdered by one of it's citizens... unbelievable. The family sounds like really good people... much prayers and love to them... hope they have much comfort during this time.

This is tragic. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Life has dealt them such a tough hand and it was only multiplied with this loss.

I would ask people to refrain from pointing fingers. Everyone did their best, they exercised their best judgment to keep this from happening and to bring her safely home. No one could have foresaw this happening. If you are looking to blame someone or to get mad, please express those feelings to the 5 people sitting behind bars in the South Salt Lake Police Department.

I applaud the efforts of all those who volunteered and gave of their service for this young child.

How sad this is for this family. I will never understand why and how anyone could harm a child like this. I pray God gives this family the strength to carry on. God holds this child now.

I just want to say that my whole family prayed for this little girl and we are saddened by the out come. Our hearts go out to this Family they have suffered and overcome so much.

How tragic and sad. I have three of my own daughters and this is always a fear. Hser Nay Moo and her family will be in our prayers. God bless you.

I agree that at this time we should not seek "who to blame" Except the people sitting in Jail. There will be a time and topic for us to express ourselfs. This is a time for Prayer and to wish the family well. I hope her services are well attended and paid for by donation, a fine Casket and Headstone would be in good order. I also hope lessons are learned from this incident.

This is so sad I again cant help but wonder why if there is a god would he/her allow this and other crimes against children, to occur, she must have been so very afraid, poor baby my wishes to her family im so sorry,

if it's an apartment then there must be a Landlord or Landlady somewhere. In a critical situation like this, why couldn't the door be accessed with the help of the owners of the property?

Our hearts aches for the family and will keep them in our prayers. It's unbelievable that there are those that would do harm like this to anyone. Truly shows no respect for life or a belief in God. Such a sad sign of the times we are living in.

If anyone knows of a fund being set up for the family, please contact the Des News to publish as we want to help them in anyway that we can.

To the family: please accept my heart felt pain. I feel your pain and anguish. Words cannot fit this crime. I am so sad.

I just want the family to know how sorry I am. But please find peace that now your beautiful daughter is in the loving arms of our Heavenly Father to never be hurt again. I know HE is there to comfort and lift you up. Please turn to him and don't give in to anger.

What is becoming of Utah? More and more violent situations are arising here when this was always saved for places like New York and Los Angeles. Very sad.

My sincerest condolences to the family. My heart is broken for them on the tragic loss of their beautiful daughter. They will be in our prayers.

May God be with you and get you through this terrible ordeal. My thoughts and prayers are with the Moo family at this tragic time in their lives.

My deepest heartfelt sympathy to this family. I am so sorry for their loss. How tragic. I was shocked to hear this news. What a beautiful little girl.

For crimes like these to stop, we need to end the current procedure of giving the animals that are found guilty of these crimes a nice place to sleep and 3 meals a day for the rest of their lives. The ones found guilty of this crime need to experience the trauma they caused this girl, ending with their deaths.

Yesterday, I was with the family when the search was ongoing, and someone was worrying about how to deal with the work responsibilities of the family members, and the mother asked a translator to help her express her feelings to one of the resettlement agency directors. She said, "We can live under a bridge if we need to" -- but the most important thing was to search for their daughter. This comment shows their fragile financial situation. I'm sure donations would be appreciated.

I hope that the perpetrators of this crime live a life of suffering and die ignominious deaths. And you can spare me the lecture on forgiveness in this case. For a crime this heinous we all know deep in our hearts that there is no forgiveness, and never will be. The men who did this sealed their eternal doom when they chose to trade a child's life for an orgasm. Which I'm sorry to say so bluntly is what these tragic cases boil down to. It's revolting, and it angers me. May they rot in hell.

I grieve and am so sad this morning for you and your family. I am so angry at was has happened. I am so sad and wish your family the best, in such a tragic ending.
