November 19, 2022 - Jon Johnson

Two years ago, on Oct. 26, 2020, the body of a slain young girl was found stuffed in an animal water float box south of Safford, Arizona.

The girl was wrapped in a blanket and covered in a plastic bag. Toys, including My Little Pony, Barbie dolls, a bracelet, and a stuffed animal, were also found in the float box. However, investigators found more ominous evidence a short distance away as they collected spent ammunition shells. They would soon learn the body they found was a young girl who had been executed by a gunshot to her head.
