16-year-old who lived in Berkeley, Missouri with her mom, Paula, and her three sisters. Aside from Mika, Paula had two older daughters and a 10-month-old baby girl; Mika was the fun-loving middle child. Mika adored kids and she looked after her baby sister while Paula, a single mom, worked late to support the family of four.

Mika was very close with her family but the 10th-grader was frustrated that Paula wouldn’t let her date or have a cell phone. Mika told her mother that she was over-protective. She wanted more independence but like most parents, Paula wanted to protect her daughter from unseen dangers.

On December 28, 2008, Mika decided to have a sleepover with her cousins, two sisters. They spent the night hanging out and watching TV. At 8 am the next morning, Mika’s aunt and her boyfriend, Terry, noticed that Mika was no longer in the house and that the front door was unlocked.
