Summary: Gabriella Doolin, 7 year old, disappeared from a football game in Novemeber 14. Once her parents realized she'd gone missing, an announcement was made and everyone started looking for her. By the time she was found, she was dead in a creek that was about 400 yards from the stadium. Needless to say, this small town was definitely shaken up. On Friday, Timothy Madden was arrested and charged with murder, kidnapping, first-degree rape and first-degree sodomy.
Analysis: When I first read this, I honestly was so surprised. I mean, the actual circumstances that surround the incident are very bizarre. The fact that this happened in a small town of only 4,000 people as well as the fact that Madden claims he was very close to the family, even his daughter was best friends with Gabriella just seems crazy. We are talking about a 7 year old girl. How could anyone, even if it was or wasn't Madden, think of harming this little girl? Also, how did her parents not even realize that their child wasn't standing right next tp them? Was she sitting in a different place? Also, what even was the motive for kidnapping, rapping, and killing Gabriella? This news is overall was so sad and also quite alarming to hear because how can anyone feel safe anymore knowing that their kids aren't even safe going to a high school football game in a small town?
