GUILTY UT - Hser Nar Moo, 7, Salt Lake City, 31 March 2008

[Vegas Bride]

So terribly sad, on the local news station they said there will be a news conference but they did not say when, they're breaking into the tv shows to give updates. It looks like the ones arrested are neighbors and an ambulance had come to the scene.

Oh NO! I just saw this thread, and link. Doesn't sound hopeful. Suspects in handcuffs? Hmmm, maybe they will give them the "scenic" route to jail. Absolutely horrific.

Police briefing in about 45 minutes from now.

SOUTH SALT LAKE, Utah (ABC 4 News) - A medical examiner team has arrived at the apartment complex where the family of Hser Nay Moo, a missing 7-year-old girl lives. Three people have also been taken away in handcuffs, and police have marked out a crime scene.

Wow. That does not sound good.

I just can't believe she could have been right there the entire time. I guess the report of seeing her at the chinese restaurant was mistaken identity. I had been really hoping for the best outcome for this precious child.

 

[SheWhoMustNotBeNamed]

Oh no. This doesn't sound good at all. Counting down the time already.

 

[Earthbound Misfit I]

They said that the volunteer search was called off and the volunteers were sent home.

 

[Earthbound Misfit I]

They are saying 4 Burmese men were taken away (taken into custody) from the family's apartment. They are now saying that they don't know if the apartment that is being investigated is the family's apartment or a neighbor's apartment? There are conflicting reports at this time.

 

[SheWhoMustNotBeNamed]

Body found in missing girls apartment building.
Not sure which apartment.

What I'm hearing said on the local news channel is the same apartment complex, but NOT the families apartment. Not sure how many apartments are in the same building.

NO! I was so hopeful about the possible sighting.

I haven't dared turn the TV on all day because my kids are off track. I have one in particular who is too tenderhearted for all the crap that goes on in the world. I'm going to get them in bed so I can sit here and be horrified.

 

[Earthbound Misfit I]

What they said on the local news that I was watching was that 4 Burmese men were taken from the family's apartment. They also said witnesses reported that it was the family's apartment that was being investigated as the crime scene. As I said, there are conflicting reports at this time.

ETA: I don't think it would actually be the family's apartment that the body was in or it would have been found earlier. But reporters did say witnesses said it was the family's apartment.

www.abc4.com is saying that the suspects were "close friends or family" of this little girl's family.

Witnesses said investigators found the body of Hser Ner Moo inside one of the apartments -- reportedly beaten to death.

SOUTH SALT LAKE, Utah (ABC 4 News) - The body of 7-year-old Hser nay Moo was most likely found Tuesday night, inside a neighbor's apartment.

The persons taken into custody are also reportedly close friends or relatives of Hser Nay Moo's family.

This could by why the discrepancy of which apartment.

What kind of person would beat a 45 pound little seven year old girl to death?! I'm having a really hard time understanding this world tonight.

 

[SheWhoMustNotBeNamed]

BEATEN TO DEATH?! Oh poor child. I am so upset for her family right now. And angry at whoever these "friends" are that did this to her.

I don't know and I'm right there with you. That poor little girl
