Script LEAD: A CONSTANT REMINDER OF THE GAINESVILLE STUDENT MURDERS IS GONE..SOMEONE HAS PAINTED OVER THE 34TH STREET WALL MEMORIAL DEDICATED TO THE MEMORIES OF THE FIVE VICTIMS. ALISHA GOLMAN HAS THE DETAILS. SCRIPT: (SOT-HOYT) DIANA HOYT LOOKS IN DISBELIEF AT WHAT USED TO BE A MEMORIAL TO HER STEPDAUGHTER CHRISTA AND THE OTHER MURDER VICTIMS. A WREATH IS THE LAST REMAINING TRIBUTES TO THEIR LIVES.

EXCEPT FOR FIVE TREES PLANTED IN MEMORY OF THE VICTIMS ON THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA CAMPUS, THE WALL IS THE ONLY REMINDER OF THE TERROR FILLED EVENTS OF 1990.
