Kacie Rene Woody (October 17, 1989 – December 4, 2002) was an American teenager from Holland, Arkansas, who was lured, abducted, and murdered by 47-year-old David Leslie Fuller[2] from La Mesa, California.

The car collided with a horse that had run into the road; the animal shattered the windshield and hit Kristie, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

[9] The Woody home was in a heavily wooded rural area, and due to many outgoing landline calls being billed as long distance, Rick allowed Kacie to use instant messaging on the family's computer to keep in touch with her friends.

[3] The photo on jazzman_df's profile was of a "surfer dude"-type attractive young man; he claimed to love surfing and the beach, and the two bonded quickly and began to chat often.

At the same time, Sam was fearful over Kacie's naivety and warned her about becoming close to and falling in love with people that she hadn't met in person.

Kacie's friend Sam was doubtful as to Dave's stated age, based on his use of outdated slang, including such terms as "groovy" and "far out".

When Dave learned about the relationship, he stated that he wished to "remain friends" with Kacie; he also increased his talk about his aunt and her "worsening condition".

That evening, Kacie was home alone; her brother Tim was doing research at his college's library, Eric Betts was at his electrician's class, and Rick was on duty in Greenbrier.

[8] When Betts returned home from his class at about 10:15 PM CST and noticed that Kacie wasn't around, he assumed she was in bed, or out with family or friends, and continued his normal routine.

[7] Police investigators initially considered the possibility that Kacie had run away, which Rick denied, stating that she was happy with her life and would not leave the house without telling him.

It was noticed that all of Kacie's coats and shoes were left behind, while temperatures that night were close to 30°F with rain, leading authorities to suspect an abduction.

[7] Investigators seized the Woody computer and questioned students and staff at Greenbrier Middle School; they were told about Scott and Dave by Kacie's friends.

They launched a search around the local area for clues to his location; at Conway Motel 6, they discovered a 1993 Buick Regal with a California license plate.

Detectives learned that it belonged to a man named David Fuller, who had checked in on December 2 and booked his stay for a week, requested no maid service, and had angrily complained to the staff about not being able to connect to the Internet from his room.

When detectives searched his room, they found Fuller's packed suitcase, laptop, camouflage clothing and rubber gloves; they noticed that the bed had not been slept in.

They learned that his phone number matched one repeatedly dialed from the Woody home, that he'd rented a silver Dodge Caravan minivan, and that his credit card had very recently been charged by a self-storage facility in Conway.

[5] David Fuller had shot himself in the head when Barrett had lifted the unit's door; his body was found lying on the floor behind the minivan, still holding a 9mm Luger near the van's back seats, which had been removed.

Barrett found Kacie's body lying supine in the back of the minivan, with her wrists and ankles chained to the four corners of the van's floor.

In August of that year, Child Protective Services of California investigated a report that Fuller had been showering with his daughter; it was eventually concluded that this was untrue.

Sometime after Fuller moved into his own apartment, still in La Mesa, he was arrested and charged with spousal abuse after he had returned to Krens’ home one night, shoved and screamed at her, and then unlocked a bedroom door with a screwdriver after she had locked herself and the children inside.

Fuller had also once been arrested and fined for indecent exposure after exposing himself to two young girls, and had been fired from his job as a used car salesman after being caught watching pornography (possibly of children) on the work computer.

After Fuller's death, the FBI got a warrant to search his apartment, and discovered a framed collage of photos of Kacie near his computer, and papers with her and her friends' names, phone numbers, and addresses written down.

The first time, he'd flown into Clinton National Airport on October 11, rented a car from Adam's Field, and checked into a Motel 6 in Conway.

On November 6, he visited Guardsmart, looking for the largest unit available and telling an on-site manager that he bought vehicles and needed a place to temporarily store them.

Investigators later ran Fuller's DNA through a national database in order to learn if he had committed similar crimes prior to Kacie's abduction and murder; no matches were found.

[3] Kacie's funeral was held on December 9; she is buried in South Crossroads Church Cemetery in Rose Bud, Arkansas, next to her mother.

In spring 2003, Rick granted federal and state authorities' permission to share Kacie's story in an Internet safety and law enforcement training program by the FBI called "Innocent Images".

That June, the FBI released patches depicting a teddy bear sitting next to a computer, with its screen reading "KACIE WOODY 1989-2002" for the program's task force to wear.
