Ten-year-old Kassidie Rae McMillin was removed from life support early Saturday morning and her neighborhood is eerily quiet.
An eerie quiet enveloped Windemere Apartment complex on Sunday afternoon.

And none of the few residents milling around nearby had any first-hand knowledge of what Kassidie’…
