FYI - I'mnot sure where that news source quoted above got that 3 a.m. time frame. The article I just posted says this:
"The 9-year-old had gone to bed about 11 p.m. Monday after telling her grandmother she was tired and wanted to sleep. About 10 minutes later, the family heard a door shut. The noise drew the girl's father downstairs to investigate, relatives said.
After quickly discovering Mya wasn't in the house, relatives went outside to search for her. About 15 minutes later, Richard Lyons Sr. found his daughter wounded in a secluded alley near their home. His anguished screams awoke the quiet South Side street where the family has lived for more than two decades."
That's an awfully small time frame! I wonder why she went outside 10 minutes after telling the grandma she was tired and wanted to sleep. :waitasec:
