'This morning a 9 year old girl named Iris Stilling was found dead, the police believe it to be murder. The victim appears to have been stabbed and beaten in multiple places, and the killer had also gouged out her eyes. Sadly the murderer is still unknown. Please contact the Aurora, Illinois police with any information regarding the murder.'
