Many people don't understand why Lisa risked walking alone in the night. It's not a heavily used road, it's very dark and it's not a city incorporated area. The Pittsburg-Antioch highway has no sidewalk, just gravel on the sides of the road. On one side are fields, and on the other side, occasional industrial businesses. The distance from the dancing hall to the Norrells' house is about four miles.
Kids tend to do things that are crazy and risky without thinking about it.
Lisa's family cannot help feeling some guilt for what happened. At least if I would have gone, I know she'd be here right now. Although different families adopted Lisa and Tony, the siblings spent much time together and were very close. The morning after Lisa's disappearance, her black shoes were found on the side of the Pittsburg-Antioch highway. Police began scouring the area with infrared video cameras.
