one of our own tragically lost his beautiful daughter in a horrific murder in march, 2007.
Alicia (Sears) Castillon and John Mitchell (her boyfriend) were murdered by her former boyfriend - despite having gone to court before and having the judge tell him to "stay away", her killer entered the home and shot both alicia and john while her children were in their bedrooms in the house at the time. they heard the shots. the heart wrenching call to 911 was from from one of alicia's children who identified the killer as their stepdad.
when this happened, kossack got a grip wrote of the tragedy of alicia's death along with sharing much of her life - and photos of her with her dad - our own zwoof.
all too often we stand and shake our heads and wonder "what could i have done" or "what can i do?" when we hear of domestic violence. well, right now - today - you have a chance to make a difference... to DO something... and know that it started here with one of our own.
