JEFFERSON CITY — A memorial service to remember a 9-year-old Missouri girl is taking place on the one-year anniversary of her death, allegedly at the hands of a teenage neighbor.
Fourth-grader Elizabeth Olten disappeared Oct. 21, 2009, while walking home from a friend's house in St. Martins, just west of Jefferson City. Her body was found in a wooded area near her home.
Thursday's memorial is set for 5 p.m. at Jefferson City's Concord Baptist Church, where the funeral was held last year, located at 3724 W. Truman Blvd.
