The Strange Disappearance Of Alivia Kail
Alivia Kail was in a great mood when she stopped by her brother’s West Mifflin, Pennsylvania home on March 4, 2011. The 19-year-old excitedly told her brother, Lance Kail, that she was going to Miami, Florida with her boyfriend, 22-year-old Alexander Lorenzi. Although Alivia had an apartment in nearby Mount Washington, she had stayed with her brother in the past and some of her belongings were still at his home. As she gathered some clothing and shoes to take to Florida, she told Lance that Alexander was paying for the entire trip. Alivia soon finished packing up her belongings and said goodbye to her brother. As Lance watched the couple climb into Alex’s car and drive off, he had no idea that he would never see his sister again.
