Remember hiccup girl? She's wanted for murder!

Then:



Now:

Floridians frequently become famous either for heinous crimes or odd achievements, like building the world's largest rubber-band ball. Rarely, however, do the two intersect, which is why the Sunshine State marveled Monday at the sad life of Jennifer Mee.

Mee, one may recall, was the "hiccup girl" of 2007 — the teenager from Tampa whose nonstop hiccups, up to 50 times a minute for six weeks, caught the attention of the nation. Now she is back in the spotlight, facing murder charges.

Police in St. Petersburg say that Mee, 19, lured Shannon Griffin, 22, to a home there Saturday, where two male accomplices — Laron C. Raiford, 20, and Lamont Newton, 22 — tried to rob him. When Griffin resisted, he was shot four times and killed, the police said.
