Saint Patrick Catholic Church played host to the partnership between the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the City of Fort Wayne. Hundred of folks turned out to honor Alejandra Gutierrez and the Casas family of four who lost their lives through violence. It took 11 days of searching by the City of Fort Wayne Police Department, the Allen County Sheriff Department and the FBI. Unfortunately, Alejandra was dead. Alejandra did not show up for school and because of parents concern, began a grassroot search to find their daughter. This step taken by the parents was necessary because the family spoke limited English.
Tonight those who came out to remember Alejandra and the Canas family, were able to take pictures of their children and fingerprints. It has been one year, December 8,and 13 2006 as the anniversaries, and many family in the communities want to insure that what happened to Alejandra and the Casas won't happen again. Unfortuately the trial for the alleged murderer of Alejandra has been delayed.
