In 1993 a 12 year old girl was abducted, assaulted and killed in a Florida orange grove and her case sat cold for 30 years. As of July 2023, her killer had been identified. This is the story of Jennifer Odom.

For each victim I work to place flowers at their grave site, if their burial information is available. I do this by either driving there myself if I’m in the local area, or sending flowers via a delivery service. If you’d like to help offset the costs and in turn show your support for the victims, you can donate any amount through this link.
