And she would frequently go up and down the stairs to visit her grandmother, Zater Bolhar, who lived just a few floors away in the same apartment building. But Girl X's neighborhood is the partially vacant Cabrini-Green housing project on Chicago's near North Side, and the child's current anonymity is an apt symbol for the forgotten lives--and forgotten crimes--in this desolate inner-city area...
