Christina Holt's Story
She was a tiny child with little brown ringlets framing a smiling face.
It is the only photo we have ever seen of her and most likely ever will.
It is the portrait of how she should have stayed: happy, carefree. She
world have been 21 in May, 2008. It is hard to believe that little Christina
Holt had her life snuffed out by her pregnant mother (who stood idly
by and watched) and her cold, heartless stepfather (who beat her to
death). They kept her dead body in a closet for weeks, and then buried
her miles away from their house and claimed that she had been kidnapped
from a flea market in Fort Lauderdale.
On the "newspaper articles" page is her complete story, as it appeared in the South Florida media.
