“We’re sad that it didn’t end the way we hoped,” Akin said. “This is one of the most difficult investigations I've been involved in because it's a child, and every time a child dies, it hits you in the heart.”
The girl's disappearance sparked a massive search involving hundreds of law enforcement officials, including contingents of Texas Rangers and the Fort Worth Police Department, local fire departments and civilian volunteers.
