Destiny Anne Norton (November 30, 2000 – July 16, 2006) was a Salt Lake City, Utah, child who was kidnapped and murdered by a neighbor in 2006.
Volunteers posted missing posters throughout Salt Lake City, describing her several silver capped teeth on the bottom row of her mouth, blonde hair, green eyes, and dressed in a grey shirt with black stripes.
After a massive eight-day search by about 5,000 community volunteers, FBI and police, Destiny's body was found on July 24, 2006, less than 100 feet from her home in the basement of her neighbor, 20-year-old Craig Roger Gregerson.
