Update: More than 2,000 people attended a memorial service last night for Jessica Ridgeway, a ten-year-old Westminster girl who was found murdered in an Arvada open-space area a week ago today. Westminster Police Chief Lee Birk and Governor John Hickenlooper were among those in attendance. But could the killer also have made an appearance? One former FBI profiler says "yes."
