It was the 25th of January 2005. A Tuesday. Katie was finished school for the day and was back home in Crothersville, Indiana, United States. The ten year old lived with her mother Angela, father John Neace and her older sister.


When Katie got home that day, Angela was in the kitchen making dinner for that evening and John was still at work. He worked in a local factory. At 3pm, Angela asked Katie if she would go to the Dollar Store to pick up some toilet paper. 


It was a trip Katie was used to making. She had been there numerous times and it was just a few blocks away from her home. Katie wrapped up warm. It was a particularly cold day and she made her way down the street to the Dollar Store. 


When Katie got to the Dollar Store, she bought the toilet paper. The clerk helped her count out the correct amount of money. Katie stopped off at the Bank next door to get a lollipop from their counter and made her way home.
