Good Lord. If we cant protect our women and children, what kind of men are we? What kind of nation are we? Sick.
My heart sank upon hearing this. I can’t fathom how a young gal walks off, (destination only known to her), never to return. I have tears of anger that her life is cut short to someone so evil. Elizabeth Smart (Utah) got all the media attention and this gal received nothing; just a whisper of news. Same with all the others in that area. I hope this person(s) are found and dealt with horribly. Emily you will not be forgotten.
