When Norma Lopez left her last class and headed off to meet her friends, it was a hot day. The 17-year-old was going to summer school at Valley View High and had just finished a biology lesson.
She was a regular teen who enjoyed dancing and fashion. She had a boyfriend and loved spending time with friends during the holidays. But hard-working Norma was going to the extra classes to make sure
she stayed on top of her education.
Normally, she walked with her boyfriend but he was running late on the morning of 15 July 2010, so she set off on her own.
