SOUTHWEST, Fla. - The mother of a murdered 6-year-old North Port girl is hoping Florida changes the way it handles crimes and criminals. Ellen Beth Fullwood's is fighting for changes for her daughter Coralrose Fullwood who was raped and murdered in North Port in September of 2006. The case remains unsolved and Ellen Beth Fullwood is frustrated by the slow processing of DNA and policies that allow sexual predators and offenders to get out of prison early. She's convinced her child's murderer is still out there and others are at risk. Fullwood has a warning for parents in Southwest Florida, "Anybody who would brutally murder a child, beat a child, rape a child...if they've done it once they will do it again."
Fullwood has created a website, www.coralrosefullwood.com that celebrates her daughter's short life and outlines what others can do to incite change. She also asks anyone who knows something about her daughter's murder, even if it seems like an insignificant detail, to call North Port Police or Crimestoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS.
