Memorial Walk Will Retrace Steps of Abducted Teen Norma Lopez
This evening, a memorial walk scheduled for 5 p.m. will follow the route 17-year-old Norma Lopez took to get home from school, and from which she was abducted and killed, reports the Valley News.
Lopez was leaving the campus of Valley View High School in Moreno Valley after her summer school classes when she was abducted. Five days later her body was found in a field less than two miles away. Authorities are investigating the teen's abduction and killing, and continue to turn to the public for leads, including information about a green SUV spotted near the scene of the crime.
Called "Finish Norma's Walk," the public memorial event will start at Valley View high, and will go "from the school, down the path and through the field leading to the Cottonwood Avenue residence to which the Lopez was bound. The route is less than a mile." Organizers are asking participants to wear white and bring a flashlight.
