Her name was Mickey Costanzo, just 16. She didn't have far to go, seemed perfectly safe, until it wasn't.
00:00:25
In the bottom of my heart, I knew something was really, really wrong. We didn't know whether she'd met with foul play or if she was being held somewhere.
00:00:34
What happened to Mickey? It didn't make sense. Came out of the blue. I was blindsided.
00:00:40
Not a day that goes by that I don't think about what happened. Who happened to Mickey?
