A convicted rapist was charged this week with murdering a 13-year-old girl, Sarah Lunde, who’d disappeared from her Florida home. Searchers found her partially clothed body in a fish pond a week after she went missing. Police said the suspect, David Onstott, 36, went to the Lunde house looking for Sarah’s mother, whom he once dated, and Sarah let him in. Onstott allegedly admitted he argued with the girl, then strangled her. Mark Lunsford, the father of a Florida girl kidnapped from her home and murdered in March, joined mourners for a service at Sarah’s church. “America needs to wake up,” Lunsford said. “The next child could be yours.”
