GREENVILLE —
A memorial walk is scheduled Saturday and a memorial fund has been established to assist the family of Alicia Moore.
Multiple rewards are also being offered for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of Moore’s murderer.
Moore, 16, disappeared one week ago today, after stepping off a school bus about a half-block from her residence.
