Several hundred people gathered at All
Saints Episcopal Church for the Requiem
Mass, celebrated by the church rector,
Reverend Canon James P.
DeWolfe Jr., the body
of the 17 year old high school junior was
found locked in the trunk of her car late
Monday afternoon.
She had been stabbed several times and
her throat had been slashed.
The girl had been visiting friends Sunday
night and was last seen alive when she
left to go home shortly after midnight.
An autopsy indicated she was killed
sometime between twelve thirty and three
a.m.. A citizens band radio
club has begun to fund to help the family
pay funeral expenses.
During the mass, Father Wolf prayed
may she rest in peace.
A bright sun filtered through stained
glass windows during the 30 minute
service, which filled the sanctuary to
overflowing.
A number of Miss McGuire's classmates at
Southwest High School attended the mass
and followed the funeral procession to
Laurel and Cemetery for burial services.
