RIP Zina Linnik - the sad and cruel irony
So much cruel Irony. The body of the girl was found after the suspect in custody led them to it.
Body of missing Tacoma girl found
A suspect in the case of a missing 12-year-old Tacoma girl directed police to her body today, ending a week-long search after her July 4 abduction that drew national attention.
"It is with great regret and sorrow that I am informing our community that we have located the body of Zina Linnik," said Tacoma Police Chief Don Ramsdell, reading from a prepared statement tonight.
Ramsdell said information provided by the suspect led police and FBI investigators to the girl's body. Court records name the man as 42-year-old Terapon Dang Adhahn, a convicted sex offender who has been in custody on an unrelated immigration matter since Monday. He had not been charged in Zina's abduction or death as of Thursday night.
