Graham, NC -- The family of a little girl found murdered in a Georgia landfill plans on holding a community awareness event in Alamance County.
The 7-year-old Somer Thompson vanished during her walk home from school last month. Detectives found her body at a landfill in Georgia where the Florida neighborhood's trash is delivered.
Somer's father, Sam, lives in Alamance County, NC.
He is hosting a memorial service at Riverside Baptist Church on Saturday 14 at 3:00 pm.
The service is open to the public, but the family requests anyone attending wear purple, Somer's favorite color.
