Judith Barsi, little girl from Jaws 4 murder

[ERIN_LoJ]

Found out today from someone on what happened to Judith Barsi, who played as the little girl in Jaws 4 as well as numerous other films.

Her father shot her and her mother, ( Judith when she was sleeping ), then dragged their bodies out to the garage, set them on fire, and then killed himself.

He had been abusing them both in the past and at one point Judith became so stressed she took all the whiskers out of her cat and also plucked out all her eyebrows.

A psychologist she was brought to said it was severe abuse on all counts after hearing the father had held a knife to her throat.
The mother told friends and family how badly abusive he was. AND the authorities were notified but didn't do much. Talk about taking no preventive measures.

It seems ever worse but he tripped over the bodies according to news sources, some saying he accidently started himself on fire as well.

Says she’s buried at Forest Lawn Cemetary in an unmarked grave. But why unmarked?? It would be nice for her to at least have a tombstone. Most sites say she was 10 but some 12.

Pretty shocking news to me. Am I the only one who didn't know this??

It's depressing to read stories such as that one. It is, at the same time, informative, and shows that society does not particiapte and help eachother out as much as they say they do/should help out. To be honest, we are hyporcritical and I am not sure the human race pays enough attention to themselves, let alone others and the earth.

IMDB says she was 10. Apparently her last film (All Dogs Go to Heaven) was released a year and a half after she died.

FindaGrave also lists death as age 10, and despite the unmarked status of the graves, there is a picture of the graves on the site.

I knew, and was very saddened when I found out. I used to love All Dogs Go to Heaven when I was a kid, and thought Barsi did an excellent job voicing it,

I found that out last year some time. She was also in The Land Before Time, a childhood favorite. For gods sake, Ducky's dead! :(

I remember when this happend and I actually saw the newscast. I was living in Delano at the time 1988 or 89. I remember Guns N Roses was very popular at the time. Anyway lot's or people have unmarked graves. Frank Zappa has one. There must be a reason why people do not get one, it is a mystery.
