Police continue search for answers two decades after 11-year-old went missing
The Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office is still working on a case nearly 20 years after an 11-year-old girl was reporting missing in Northport.
Heaven Ross went missing in August 2003, triggering a response of search crews made up of law enforcement members and volunteers but Ross was not found. Over three years later, human remains were found at an abandoned house in the Holt area and they were eventually identified as the 11-year-old girl.
