How sad this case is. It just goes to show that we have always had sicko's who have hunted and pried on little children, its just that now we hear about it much quicker then heck, even twenty years ago.

This is a 12-year-old girl who is out running errands alone, which makes her a very easy target. The wrong man was hanged for the crime and actually was pardoned in May 2008. Author Kevin Morgan wrote a book, which was the reason for the pardon. He then went as far as to name the real killer - a pedophile who was married to one of Alma's family members. This would explain why a witnessed says Alma appeared apprehensive and afraid. She knew this man was following her.

She rests in peace. I would easily assume that the killer is long since dead.

I just purchased Kevin Morgan's book, so as soon as it arrives and I get it read, I will add more info!!!!
