COMMACK, N.Y.
Shana Kay had just completed her freshman year at the University
of Wisconsin at Madison when she died of viral encephalitis shortly
after July 4th. Her family commissioned the statue outside the
Commack Library, with an inscription noting the
19-year-old woman had "found inspiration in the magic of
reading."
The statue was reported stolen last week. Detectives have
contacted local scrap metal dealers, but also suspect it may have
been stolen as a prank. It is valued at $5,000 and weighs between
150 and 300 pounds.
