Well, they found Norma but sadly it is not good news. Manny called this morning to let me know but I didn't want to post it until it was public. Since I posted about her a couple of days ago, I thought it only right to let you know how it ended. I couldn't even wrap my mind around what the family is feeling right now. So sad, so evil. Thank you again my kind friends for your thoughts and prayers. You are all such wonderful people. Bless you:)

Body Found in Moreno Valley is that of Norma Lopez Authorities in Riverside County have confirmed that the human remains found 2.5 miles from Valley View High School in Moreno Valley are that of missing teen Norma Lopez.
The 17-year-old went missing last Thursday after her summer school classes. A decomposing body was located in a rural area nearby, and an autopsy conducted this morning confirmed it was that of Lopez, announced an official from the Riverside County Sheriff's Department during a press conference. The family was the first to be notified, and have asked for privacy as they mourn the loss of Norma.
Early investigation revealed personal effects belonging to Lopez near where she disappeared, and the FBI has been to the scene to collect evidence, reports KTLA. The case has now been changed from that of an abducted person to that of a homicide. "We will continue to follow every lead that we have," pledged the Sheriff's Department.

ReplyDeleteDebra,
ReplyDeleteJust quickly going through the internet, not intending to really read, or comment, but I had to stop and say how sorry I am and how painful, painful this is for the family. Only God knows what He will do with this and I will pray that He may show the family His plan. I am so sorry.
Love

I am so sorry Debra~ and angry as all Hell. I keep editing out my wishes for the sick bastards that did this, because it is meaningless and now is not the time. God has his plans and we must have faith. So I will just say I am heartbroken over it.
ReplyDeleteThis is so horrible and sad. I cannot imagine her family's grief. They are in my prayers. Thank you for letting us know.
ReplyDeletexo,
Debra
Debra,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to read this news. I will pray that all of the family will somehow find the strength to get through these next horrific days and the long years of grief ahead.
It is hard to grasp the concept of such evil and sorrow in a world meant to be of wonder. For the family's sake I will also pray for a quick resolution to all the questions that they have about the who and the why.
It is just so awful and so very, very sad.
I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
Suzan
