The Death of a 7 Year Old Scottsville Girl Mourned Sunday Night

Hundreds of people gathered in Scottsville’s square Sunday evening for a silent candlelight vigil for Gabriella Doolin.

Kentucky State Police say the death of that 7-year-old girl whose body was found in an Allen County creek is being handled as a homicide.

In a statement, state police said Gabriella Doolin was reported missing around 7:40 p.m. Saturday by her mother while they were at a football game at Allen County-Scottsville High School.

Authorities say police found Doolin's body at 8:05 p.m. in a creek in a wooded area behind the high school.

Police say an autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death.
