Cops: Texas Girl, 6, Found Hanged in Garage Was Sexually Abused
Wednesday, September 12, 2007
CORSICANA, Texas -
A 6-year-old Texas girl was found hanged in her garage Monday and police were investigating the case as a homicide, MyFOXDFW.com reports.
Hannah Mack was discovered Monday by her mother, Dana, hanging in the garage with a rope around her neck in Navarro Mills Lake, about 65 miles south of Dallas, and there were signs that she had been sexually abused, the station reported.
"I just touched her arm and I wanted to get her down so bad," Dana Mack told MyFOXDFW.com.

Police confirmed Wednesday the child was found hanged and sexually assaulted before she died.
Authorities have made no arrests or named any suspects since Hannah Mack's body was discovered. They are saying little about their investigation.
"I will confirm that the hanging and sexual assault were part of this scenario," Navarro County Sheriff's Chief Deputy Mike Cox said.
Cox said several people have been interviewed and no one has been ruled out as a suspect.
"We don't want to do anything that would compromise a successful prosecution of this case," Cox said Wednesday before abruptly ending a brief news conference.
Neighbors in the rural lakeside community in east Texas are frustrated by the silence so far and worry that a predator remains on the loose.
In a letter to the sheriff's department, Navarro County Judge Vicki Gray said an autopsy of the body showed "a multitude of events that together caused the death of this child." No other details were released.
The first-grader's body was found in a garage behind her home early Monday.
"I'm just concerned about the kids out there," said Harold Hocutt, 75, a neighbor who knows the girl's family. "Little girls. Little boys. It's just something you don't forget. Every time I drive by [Hannah's house], I cry."
Police asked state caseworkers to not say whether Hannah's family had been investigated by child welfare officers, said Marissa Gonzales, a spokeswoman for the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services.
"I wish I could punish this person myself," Dana Mack told MyFOXDFW.com.

Texans have and use guns, so to hell with the courts.
Who ever did this should be taken care of with the utmost of savagery.0 -

I say we forget all about this animal's rights and deal out some cruel and unusual punishment once he's been caught. 0 -
Hopefully whoever did that will be caught and sent to jail where they can get what they deserve before the state kills them. 0 -
Pure animal. That's why I couldn't be a cop. If I saw that and found the killer it would be so hard for me to stay within the law. I just don't think I could do it. That poor little girl...what she must have went through.[V][:(!][:(!][:(!][:(!][:(!] 0 -

SICKENING! Is it me or does it seem like the victims of these crimes are being treated more brutally? 0 -

There is no punishment cruel enough for whoever did this.

I live in East Texas. This would be the wrong house to come to.0 -
What should happen...When this savage animal is caught, he should die the same way his victom die. It should be publicized on national television. Use the "If you do it, it happens to you too" for a slogan, and damn the ALCU! 0 -

It's times like this I wish that Australia didn't abolish the death penalty for murder all those years ago. Coincidentally, the last execution in my home state was in 1912, for a crime quite similar to this one, where a man called Ernest Austin was executed after being found guilty of the rape and murder of a 12-year-old girl. 0 -
Despite the big fear of some predator roaming their area, this scumbag is probably going to turn out to be someone known to the family. Maybe even living in the household.
I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be a youngster.0 -

Now that we are all agreed, how bout joining my Posse to liberate Boystown? 0 -
