The Samantha Runnion Murder Case
 
 
Bold Attack

Samantha Runnion, a 5-year-old southern California girl, was snatched July 15, 2002, by a stranger outside her apartment while she played with a friend. Samantha went kicking and screaming, as her mother had taught her to do, but her efforts were for naught. The tiny, nude body of the little girl was found the next day by a hiker in Cleveland National Forest, 50 miles north of her Stanton, Calif. home.
