I'm sorry, but some of the comments people are making are absolutely disgusting!!! All we know is a girl is dead and that it is so sad for her parents and the rest of her family and friends. Her parents, aunt and whoever are likely suing everyone because if they don't sue Pike, the RAs, etc. now, they can't re-file the claim later. It doesn't mean that Pike, or anyone for that matter, will be held liable. As for whether or not they should be liable, I don't think anyone should make judgments on the situation if they don't know all the facts. (A newspaper article as a source for judgment is not always accurate or complete) Refer up to dzandliloo's post regarding the elements that they'll have to prove because that is all we know right now about the status of this suit.
As for the character attack on the victim...who cares if the girl was in foster care or stripped to make money. Does that justify what happened to her? I'd like to think that if something like this happened to me people would not be so quick to jump on the "blame the victim" bandwagon. Let's try not to judge the actions or character of the deceased if you weren't there to see it.
