missing 7-year-old girl found dead

Some sad news out of Utah... A 7-year-old girl who disappeared from her family's apartment in South Salt Lake was found dead on Tuesday night--less than 100 feet from her own front door: Missing 7-Year-Old Girl Found Dead In Bathroom Of Neighboring Apartment. Good Lord, what a nightmare.

Hser Ner Moo, whose family immigrated from Burma, was reported missing on Monday afternoon. Authorities launched a large-scale search effort to find her, including surveillance from the air, ground volunteers and K-9 units. Sadly, her body was found inside a bathroom of one of the neighoring apartments. It's unclear how exactly she died, but there is apparently some trauma present. And arrests have made in connection with her death, though no suspects have yet been identified. All around, at this point, it's just a big tragic mess of questions.
