About Amanda

Amanda Victoria Brown born March 13, 1991, pure of heart, innocent in mind entered onto this earth bringing joy to everyone she touched. With sparkling eyes and angelic smile-truly a face of innocence-Amanda was enjoying life, chasing butterflies and doing all those things that a seven year old enjoys.

On September 11, 1998, her innocence was stolen: her promise of a future came to a chilling end. A convicted criminal, Willie Crain, with a sordid past of sex crimes against children, stole Amanda from a peaceful sleep and to this day she has never been found.

The details of what happened to Amanda are too gruesome to share, however, what happened to her should never happen to any child ever again.
