Today my mother called to tell me of the death of a neighbor's child I had met right as I was in the process of moving back to Kentucky at the age of 17. My mother and stepfather had been living in a trailor park near the Gilmore's. My mother was good friends with Stephanie, and she loved Stephanie's children to death, including the 13 year old mentioned in the articles. I never cared for Stephaine and Trent too much but they 'seemed' nice enough and Stephanie had an amazing collection of Disney snowglobes that were very beautiful and expensive.
Anyways my mother was in tears she cared for those children greatly and neither of us had any idea they were capable of doing that.
Here's the articles as heart wrenching as they are:

Info from my mother who lives in Georgia says that Trent had stuffed towels around the 13 year old's (Not saying her name) bedroom's door to keep the stench out of her death. They are still working on figuring out how she had exactly died, whether natural causes or neglect. The eleven year old sister is the one who discovered her sister's body, she ran toa neighbor's house and called 911, but of course her sister had already been dead for more then a day. She is now in social services while her little brother is else where. It's sad...really sad.
I've met these people, I've been in their home.....I spent Christmas of 97 with them. I talked to the 13 year old, and even though she could not talk back due to her Cerebral palsy it still does not change the fact that I 'knew' these people.....
