Vigil held for missing Pasco County family believed to be dead

A community came together Wednesday night to remember a family now believed to be murdered and burned in a fire pit.
Phillip Zilliot, Rain Mancini and their two children are still considered missing until testing of the remains found confirms what detectives believe to be true.
A friend of the family, Rory Atwood, is in jail and charged with first-degree murder.
Stefanie Mancini believes her daughter was killed and burned in that pit along with Phillip, 6-year-old Karma and 5-year-old Phillip "Philly" Zilliot III.
“I believe they were all together, in that heated fire, and now they're all in heaven and a nice place to live,” she said.
At Veterans Memorial Park, family, friends and strangers held a vigil, honoring four lives they believe are lost.
Stefanie says that Rain was her best friend.
“She was my smile,” Stefanie said. “She always had always had me rolling. She was my baby girl.”
She last saw the family together on Monday, June 10. Detectives believe Rory Atwood killed them two days later. Saturday is when they began searching Atwood’s ten-acre property. They were there again today as they try to prove their case.
