Murder victim. A young life taken far too soon. She was murdered with her mother, brother, three of her mother's lover Frank Lloyd Wright's associates, and a son of one of the associates. Her and her brother's remains were cremated. The murderer, a recently hired domestic worker of Wright, was arrested but died in jail from starvation seven weeks later despite medical attention. To this day, the motive for the attack remains unclear. May this beloved child rest in heavenly peace.
