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.
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.
As I write this, tears are flowing and my heart hurts for the sad news. I had hoped and prayed this sweet, innocent child would be found unharmed and back with her family. What a tragedy. I can't bear to think what they must have done to her and yes, she is with our Heavenly Father. May the Lord's choices blessings and comfort be with her family and friends and may those who harmed her be convicted to the fullest extent of the law.
It is simply impossible to comprehend. Impossible.

I hope that the right justice comes to the offenders responsible for this. I can only pray that the family will feel comfort in knowing that there beautiful daughter is safe in her Heavenly Fathers presence now.
May god be with this family in their time of grief. I can't even imagine how hard it would be if one of my siblings were abducted. You have my prayers and condolences. God will always love you, even though its hard sometimes.
Not to criticize but learn - I hope changes can be made allowing for searches of the most obvious locations with or without owner/renter consent. Residences within a certain radious should qualify for an automatic warrant after a reasonable effort to notify owners in these types of situations.
The family has indicated the need to move away from this apartment building. Cash donations may also be made to the family for this purpose. The Zions Bank in Sugar House is handling this but donations may be made through any Zions Bank.
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."
It SHOULD be unbelievable since it's not true.
The murderer is also a refugee from southeast Asia. He has been in the community for 30 days. Why the knee jerk response to blame ourselves? Refugees preying on others in their own community has been going on since the boat people immigration in the 70's. This guy is either a pedophile or had some hare-brained idea to hold her for a ransom. Either way it turned out tragically.
Our justice system will deal with this animal now but the community doesn't need to wring our hands with angst and guilt for what happened to this poor innocent child--not this time anyway.
It is our responsibility as citizens to at the least respect that- and if possible lend ourselves in whatever way we can.
