  Speaker 1: the nation, all uniquely tied to a heartbreaking thread. The
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: tragic victimization of eleven year old children from a perilous

  Speaker 1: boat trip on Lake Erie to a sudden shootout at

  Speaker 1: a Florida fast food restaurant in a high speed police
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: pursuit in Kentucky, young lives have been shattered by negligence, violence,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: and reckless choices. We begin in Ohio, where a community
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: is morning after a weekend search ended in the worst
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: possible way. The body of an eleven year old girl
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: was discovered Sunday near the Lake Erie shoreline, bringing a
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: tragic end to a multi day search. Authorities believe the
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: body is that of Angelique Cunningham of Toledo, who vanished
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: during a boat trip earlier in the week. The harrowing
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: timeline began on the evening of Wednesday, July second, when

  Speaker 1: County Sheriff Mike Navare, the young girl went missing from
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the watercraft less than fifteen minutes after it left the
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: marina while under Gary's direct care. It remains deeply unclear
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: what exactly transpired aboard that boat. However, investigators revealed that
