The most troubling thing about Jessica's story is that there was a moment in that trash bag when she had an epiphany-- that God doesn't exist, that she is alone in the universe, that he doesn't answer prayers, even though she had been as good of a Christian as a 9 year old can be. She would have been happy to have had a genie, I assure you.

You think Jessica, a smart 9 year old girl, wasn't smart enough to see that God did as good of a job of protecting her and saving her as her purple dolphin stuffed animal and that the Bible verses that she was very good at memorizing (she had actually returned from Church only hours before being abducted) weren't binding promises and that belief in God was no different from her at-one-time belief in Santa years earlier? Because if she instead decided that her abduction, rape, and gruesome murder was just her fault somehow or was required because God needed it to happen and he couldn't accomplish his goals some other way, that is really supremely tragic.
