Greenbrier police officer Ricky Woody has
been recognized with the FBI Director`s Community Leadership
Award for his work to educate parents about children and the
Internet.
Woody began his community outreach efforts after the December
2002 abduction and murder of his 13-year-old daughter, Kacie.
Police say the girl met 47-year-old David Fuller of La Mesa,
California, online, and that Fuller kidnapped and killed the girl
after he convinced her to meet him.
Police say Fuller posed as a teenage boy in a Christian chat
room.
Since that time, Ricky Woody has spent his spare time speaking
to children and their parents about Internet safety and working to
increase public awareness of Internet predators.
