Anna Svidersky

Anna Esther Svidersky (April 26, 1988–April 20, 2006) was a teenager who lived in the U.S. city of Vancouver, Washington, and was murdered while working in a McDonald's restaurant, by schizophrenic sex offender David Barton Sullivan. News of her death quickly spread worldwide, initially through the Internet friends site MySpace, where she had a personal page, and then through other similar sites. This created an effect of mass grief and mourning for her, mostly from people who had previously known nothing about her. It has led to the creation of memorial web pages and memorial online videos. She always spoke her mind, she was kind and she was sweet, she was the kind of person you wanted to be around all the time. Anna Svidersky was killed April 20th by a man who police say walked into the restaurant and attacked her with a knife. Anna would have celebrated her 18th birthday on April 26th. She had planned to attend college in Seattle after graduating from Fort Vancouver High School
