Memorial Service Held For Lily Burk

Hollywood (myFOXla.com) - Hundreds have turned out for a memorial service for a 17-year-old girl who was kidnapped and found dead in her own car last month in downtown Los Angeles.

Fellow students, family and friends gathered at a park in Hollywood on Sunday to remember Lily Burk. Programs were handed out with her photo and guests signed books with warm messages about the teen.

Police say the girl was running an errand for her mother when she was abducted and driven to an ATM but was unable to withdraw money. Investigators say she made two calls to her parents asking how to obtain the cash.

Police contend she was killed and left in the car by 50-year-old Charles Samuel who is charged with murder, kidnapping and robbery.
