Mourners gather for funeral of teen killed in murder-suicide attempt

Slain teen Emily Finn’s kind-hearted, yet prophetic words still ring in her grieving mother’s ears. “Anger is just the result of hurt,” she told her mom, Cliantha Miller-Finn, as they drove to their West Sayville home a few short weeks ago. Now, Miller-Finn is taking her daughter’s advice after the effervescent dancer was senselessly gunned down, allegedly by her ex-boyfriend Austin Lynch, 18, in a botched murder-suicide last week. Pews were packed at a funeral for Finn, 18, Monday inside St. John’s Lutheran church in Sayville — the same house of worship where the vivacious teen was baptized and received her first communion.
