On Feb. 19, just a few days shy of what would have been her 20th birthday, Erica Parsons’ adoptive parents were indicted for her murder by a North Carolina grand jury.

Erica Parsons disappeared in November 2011, but was not reported missing until July 30, 2013. An investigation into her whereabouts uncovered an appalling tale of abuse, which ended with the child’s death.
