Did I just read that--again?

From a different paper, a worse version of the same sentence:

"SALT LAKE CITY — When 10-year-old Anna Palmer was killed in September 1998, it seemed as if one minute she was alive and the next she wasn't." http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705389131/Mother-of-murdered-10-year-old-finally-feels-some-peace.html

It seemed that way because it WAS that way. Surprise!
