Kevin Ray Underwood

Too many times we see the amber alert issued for a missing child, sometimes the child is found safe, sometimes it's too late. In a strange way, most of us have become oddly accostomed to hearing the news that a child wasn't able to make it back home safely. It's almost as if as a society we have become condidtioned to the tragic loss of young lives. I'm not saying it's easy to deal with, only that it happens so frequently nowadays, that it often seems to occur without much press.
The case of Jamie Rose Bolin didn't go without the press. It wasn't a story we were use to hearing, and for many the shock of what happened to her left us haunted.

A man accused of strangling a 10-year-old girl and plotting to eat her flesh allowed investigators to search his apartment and then confessed to the slaying, an FBI agent testified Tuesday.

Agent Craig Overby said he spotted the girl's clothing inside a plastic tub inside a bedroom closet and asked Kevin Ray Underwood where the girl was. Overby said the man responded: "She's in there. I hit her and chopped her up."

Jamie Rose Bolin's body was found nearly decapitated inside Underwood's apartment, investigators have said.

Yesterday Underwood appeared in court for first-degree murder, and was granted a request by the defense for a gag order that prohibits attorneys and law enforcement from discussing the case publicly. Prosecutors will be seeking the death penalty for Underwood. And, to be honest- I can imagine a person more deserving.
