Aidan Gardiner, the author of this article, discusses the arrest of three people who murdered a young girl ten years ago. He discusses the struggle the police have endured for the last decade in trying to solve this case. He is able to convey the seemingly hopelessness of the case by describing how the police turned to "America's Most Wanted" and still ended up with little to no leads on the case. However, Gardiner then includes a piece of information from the young girl's sister, saying just when she was killed, which was the big break on the case. Gardiner then appeals to the sympathy of the reader when he describes how the girl was mentally and physically abused as a child and then unfolds the graphic story of how she was killed by close relatives and then her body dumped near the New Jersey Turnpike. He concludes the article with the charges against the accused. Through his inclusion of the facts of the case and information about the abuse the young girl suffered throughout her short life, he appeals to the audience logically and sympathetically so they are informed of the details of the incident and feel an emotional reaction to the tragic murder.
