I have just watched the FBI documentary which was broadcast on one of the cable channels here in the UK.
I never knew the story of this poor lovely child.
As another FM posted, the bit which was the ultimate horror for me was the fact that little Riley actually said "I love you" as she was being beaten in a futile effort to show what a good girl she was and make them stop - and they carried on and beat her to death. How could you listen to your child say that and continue to hurt them? What is wrong with people? As for the step-father, I think that fabricated letter mentioning child abuse may well have a kernel of truth. What a monstrous individual.
