Camera with last photos of young Aurora victim stolen

USATODAY

This photo of Veronica Moser-Sullivan, 6, a victim of the movie theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado on July 20, was on a memory card belonging to her grandfather that was stolen from his Denver home. It was one of the only pictures from the card that he had saved to his computer.

The grandfather of a 6-year-old girl killed in the Aurora theater shootings is distraught over the theft of his camera that holds the last photos he took of her, KUSA TV reports.

"I've felt numb all day. I've felt sick," Robert Sullivan, of Denver, tells KUSA.

Veronica Moser-Sullivan was the youngest of 12 people killed by a gunman who opened fired in the movie theater in Aurora, Colo., on July 20.

The memory card containing photos Sullivan took of Veronica in May, when she completed kindergarten, was on a Canon A54 camera, one of four taken from his home by a burglar early Tuesday. The burglar also made off with a coin collection, the Denver Postreports.

Sullivan had managed to download a few frames from the memory card, including a widely published photo of Veronica enjoying an ice cream cone, KUSA's Matt Flener reports.

"Those are the last photos I have of Veronica before the shooting," he says.

Sullivan's son, Ian, is Veronica's father. Her mother, Ashley Moser, was wounded in the shooting rampage and is still recovering.

"There's a huge hole in my heart from the loss of my granddaughter," Sullivan says. "And it seems to be getting ripped more."
