Angel Turner still hopes to find justice in the 1997 slaying of her sister, Georgia Leah Moses. Moses—who would've turned 36 this year—was last seen alive at age 12, not far from her Santa Rosa, Calif. home; her strangled, decomposed body was found about a week later in a grove of trees off Highway 101 near Petaluma.

A few days ago, my 19-month-old son, Nelson, threw a tantrum because his baby sister was holding a toy he wanted.
