MAP OF TIME LINE OF EVENTS

UPDATE I: Authorities have not been able to make a positive ID on the body found in the Pattridge Park open space in Arvada, CO. At first thought, I had to think, why can’t they make a positive ID, she has been missing for less than a week. However, then came the grim and stomach sickening news, her body was found not intact. Oh dear God, my hear breaks. I can only hope that they can match DNA evidence to the predator who perpetrated this heinous act.

The heartbreaking investigation into the disappearance of 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway took a grisly turn today when police said that a body found during their search for Jessica is “not intact.”

The condition of the body is delaying identification.

“It’s not intact,” Westminster Police Department spokesman Trevor Materasso said at a news conference today. “This is extending the length of time it’s taking for investigators to positively identify who that body is.”

RIP, Little One. No one can hurt you anymore.

As often times when these horrible stories are spread across our airwaves, one of the first things I think is- Please, Lord. I pray that this innocent child did not suffer so badly at the hands of her Perpetrator. And I pray that, in the moments before they passed- God came to them and surrounded them with love and light.

Sometimes, it’s the only comforting thought to hold on to.

=(
