Holland gained media attention after 13-year-old Kacie Woody was reported missing from her home in this area in 2002; an investigation revealed that she was abducted by a California man she befriended online while he had pretended to be a teen boy. The next day their bodies were found inside a storage unit in Conway, after he had fatally shot her and later himself. Woody's father then founded the Kacie Woody Foundation in order to educate parents and children about Internet safety. [4]
