As per information from the sheriff’s office, Long arrived home from Platte Canyon High School to change her clothes when she unexpectedly walked in on a burglary happening in real time. A physical altercation occurred between Long and the intruders before the fire erupted. An announcement made in January 2019 by multiple law enforcement agencies revealed that she tragically perished in the blaze inside her family’s residence.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) stated that the perpetrators made off with a Beretta handgun, an AK-47-style rifle, 2,000 rounds of ammunition, a gun safe, and valuable jade figurines during the incident.

Authorities believe three suspects are responsible for Long’s murder. They have not been identified or located.

Officials said the suspects may have been injured in the fire and could have changed their appearances, sold the vehicles involved, and moved away from the area.
