Editor's note: The following story contains material about disturbing crimes against a young girl. A little girl nicknamed "Coppertop," killed in Oklahoma over 18 years ago, was loved by all who knew her. Jamie Rose Bolin, like other 10-year-old girls her age, liked to "sing, sew, ride four-wheelers, watch movies, loved spaghetti" and was a member of a local Girl Scouts chapter in Purcell, a small community about 40 miles south of Oklahoma City, according to court documents obtained by USA TODAY. She also had a knack for beating her father Curtis Bolin at checkers, was known to rehearse her "cheerleader dance" often and could make light of almost any situation, according to an April 2007 report by The Oklahoman, part of the USA TODAY Network. "She was a good reader, and she got awards for her reading," Curtis Bolin shared in a statement recorded in clemency documents. Her "willingness to give" and "help others" is what he was "most proud" of. He was “proud of everything she did.” Jamie was just “starting to come into her own” when she was beaten with a wooden cutting board, suffocated to death, molested and nearly decapitated by neighbor Kevin Ray Underwood in his apartment on April 12, 2006.
