Basset, Virginia. She went missing on
August 15.
Her mother, Mary Short 36, and her father,
Michael Short, 50 were shot to death in
their
home in Henry County Virginia.
It was reported on
September of this year, 2003 that
a bridge in Rockingham
County, North Carolina,
will be renamed after

skeletal remains were found
underneath the bridge.

flowers in her honor.
