What does it mean for a website like that to be hacked,?

It means don't click on the site. There is now a "game" site there which will likely download a virus to your computer.

Investigators still search for answers 6 years after Maggie Long's death

Maggie Long left her high school with plans to return for a concert she helped organize. She was later found murdered in her family's burned down home.

www.9news.com

''BAILEY, Colo. — Maggie Long, 17, was found dead in her family's burned down Park County home on Dec. 1, 2017— six years later, the case of her killing remains unsolved.
But investigators are still working hard to change that, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) said in a release Thursday.
“Our quest for justice for Maggie remains steadfast,” said Park County Sheriff Tom McGraw in the release. “The dedicated members of the Maggie Long Task Force, including the Park County Sheriff’s Office, the 11th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, and our state and federal partners have never stopped the search for those responsible for Maggie’s death and will continue to follow every lead until we find resolution in this case.”

''In 2019, the FBI released sketches of potential suspects, but detectives told 9NEWS there wasn't much credence in the drawings in 2022.
Now, in 2023, the investigation continues.
“As we’ve stated previously, someone has that key piece of information that will lead to the arrest of those responsible for Maggie’s murder,” Sheriff McGraw said in the release. “It will take one person with one piece of information that will help our investigative team bring resolution to this case for Maggie, her family and the Bailey community.”
The CBI, along with other law enforcement agencies and Long's family, is offering a $75,000 reward in this case— the CBI is asking anyone with information to call the Maggie Long Task Force tip line at (303) 239-4243 or email them at maggie.long.tips@state.co.us. Tipsters can remain anonymous.''

I followed this case on here just after it happened, and I can't believe it hasn't been solved yet. Justice for Maggie!

“At least one male was on the property. After the fire was extinguished at the residence, Maggie Long’s remains were discovered by fire rescue personnel. The El Paso County Coroner’s Office later ruled her death a homicide,” the FBI said, noting that there was evidence a “physical altercation took place between Long and her assailants before the fire started.”

Noticeably stolen from the home were “a Beretta handgun, an AK-47-style rifle, 2,000 rounds of ammunition, a green safe, and jade figurines,” the feds said, also releasing sketches of three suspects.

Park County Sheriff Tom McGraw said that investigators, local, state, and federal, “have never stopped the search for those responsible for Maggie’s death and will continue to follow every lead until we find resolution in this case.”

“As we’ve stated previously,” McGraw said, “someone has that key piece of information that will lead to the arrest of those responsible for Maggie’s murder.

“It will take one person with one piece of information that will help our investigative team bring resolution to this case for Maggie, her family and the Bailey community,” he added.

While the case was initially viewed as a “crime of opportunity,” the feds said years later that they were examining whether those believed to be responsible for Long’s gruesome death committed a hate crime against an Asian American.
