September 08, 2010 Guest Book Amber Wood, Abilene, Texas, November 05, 2007, 09:11:08pm         My name is Amber Wood, Jennifer interviewed me a few weeks before her death about the loss of my infant son and the organization I was starting in his memory. She was so sweet and heartfelt, I hope her sister reads this entry so she knows how excited Jen was about her new niece, she told me she couldn’t wait to meet her. After the on camera interview we visited more about my experience, and as I told her my story she teared up because she said it made her think about her sister and the Jennifer Jeniffer was the first reporter I could get to do my story and helped me get the word out about my organization. I pray they find the monster that took her away from her family and many friends. I only lived across the street from where she lived and saw the story about her death in the newspaper. I have thought about her quite often over the last 5 years and have wondered if they found her killer. To her Mother and Father, I am so sorry for your loss, I know the pain of losing a child, although our grief is different it is still similar in some ways, you think of them everyday, the most random things will make you think of them. I can not imagine the pain of having your child taken from you in such a violent way, my son was stillborn at 40 weeks and seeing, holding and burying his lifeless body is the hardest thing I have ever done. I pray for peace for both of you. Andersonkill, New York, NY, November 05, 2007, 11:43:00am         Jennifer you are 28 now. Please give us some help in finding your killer. I'm not a big believer in psychics but all options are opened. Please you were into this with your reporting of the serial killer in Montana, please give us help. Your killer must get caught. I promise to say a prayer for you. When we catch the monster that took you away from us, may you rest in peace. The Prior Family, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, October 03, 2007, 10:22:15pm         Good evening I was searching the web for articles to read and I came across your daughters Web site..what a beautiful young woman Jennifer was. I want to say that my family understand the pain that you all go through every day, every year..at Jennifer's Birthday Christmas...just everyday. I had sister who was murdered 32 years ago..my family and I will never give up looking for the killer or killers of Sharron. Bless you and your family and know that you are not alone.. Prior family www.sharronprior.com Jennifer Loren, Tulsa, Oklahoma, September 26, 2007, 04:59:20pm         Happy Birthday Jen! I’m sorry the Primetime segment did little to help find your killer. We know it will happen soon anyways. Christa Slaten, Kalispell, MT, September 24, 2007, 12:07:08am         Happy 28th birthday, Jen. We went to Moose’s tonight to celebrate your birthday. We have so many memories of being there with you. We still miss you and love you. Five years has gone by, and it doesn’t get any easier. Grandpa had to go to the hospital tonight because of his heart. He’s doing ok, but please watch over him. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve really missed having you here to talk to. I’m lucky to have my friends and family, but no one will ever fill your shoes in my life. Speaking of shoes…I went shopping today. I’m going to be Holly GoLightly for Halloween. J I can hear you laughing right now. Mallory is going to be a mouse for Halloween. She started Kindergarten this year. She wanted to get you a present today. I asked her what she would want to get and she said flowers. So your niece sends you love and flowers. I hope we will have closure in your case before your 29th birthday. I feel like it’s getting close. Please help us any way you can. Happy Birthday Darling! J I love you. Janet Potter Leland, Kalispell, MT, September 23, 2007, 06:29:08pm         Happy 28th birthday Jennifer. Each birthday has to be so difficult for your dad and mom, I can't even imagine. I pray each day that that your killer will be brought to justice. It will happen. He knows it, we know it. God bless Norm and your family as they are keeping your memory alive and are working to make your killer pay for this horrific crime. Karen, Snyder, Texas, September 20, 2007, 08:19:28pm         To Jennifer's family: May God be with you each day of your lives helping you to adjust to your loss and ease the pain with each passing moment and to BRIGHTEN you lives with your memories of her wonderful life and time she had on earth. To Her Killer: You may not be man enough to step forward and rectify what you have done wrong, but know you will meet you maker some day and the answers you give will NOT get you thru those Gates because Jennifer will be right there pointing you out to the onlookers as you are DENIED entrance to the Holy Land..... Kathryn, Chattanooga, Tennessee, September 15, 2007, 09:39:00pm         This last week brought new attention and speculation towards your unsolved case and your young life. Through it all, I am reminded how remembered and adored you are by so many people whom are working so hard to bring closure to something so horrific. I have faith that this shall happen. Tommorrow, my thoughts will be with you and your family once again. Earl Woods, n/a, n/a, September 15, 2007, 05:24:57pm         Sept. 16, 2002-A Day I Will Hold in my heart Tomorrow will mark the official five year anniversary that Jennifer was violently taken from us on this Earth. I would like to extend my deepest condolences to Jennifer's family and friends as you all continue what a wonderful person that she was. I know that one day soon, Jennifer's killer, will be caught and brought to justice. I will continue to pray for you as you remember a wonderful person that you lost on Sept. 16, 2002. Doug Moats, Fort Wayne, Indiana, September 15, 2007, 05:23:41pm         I worked with Jen at KECI-TV in Missoula… I saw her story last night on ABC Nightline. I just wanted to express how much I enjoyed working with her and what a pleasure she was both professionally and personally. I can’t believe it’s been 5 years since her death. I truly hope this case can be solved and there can be some closure for this grieving family. Jennifer will always be in my thoughts. Ranee, Columbia Falls, MT, August 13, 2007, 10:49:15am         I grew up just one year ahead of Jennifer in school. I have several great memories of her. I got to know her well during a season of cheerleading with her, and I can always remember her glowing smile. I have read on this site and several others over the last few years, and just felt compelled to send my thoughts and prayers to her Mother, Father, and other family living everyday without her. God Bless and my prayers and thoughts are with you on her up coming birthday. Barbara Ponter, Abilene, Texas, August 09, 2007, 04:36:58pm         I seem to find myself thinking of Jenn at odd moments and thinking what a waste it was to loose such a wonderful person in this world. She wore a beautiful SMILE and was always CHEERFUL. I often think of her Mom, Dad and Mr. Binx ... I hope things are a little easier for the family although I can't imagine Until her MURDERER is caught that could be possible. Know that I continue to keep you in my prayers and think of you often. Even though Jenn was just around KRBC studio for a short time I will never ,ever forget her. God Bless You All ! Dara Riordan, Somewhere, CA, June 11, 2007, 09:37:05am         Hi Jen! Still think of you daily! I got married and I know though you were not with me at the alter, you were there in spirit. I continue to pray for justice. Time goes by and I think of where you would be now. I cannot believe it has almost been five years. I believe God will have ultimate Justice and for now we will be thankful for that and the times we had with you. Kathryn, Chattanooga, TN, April 18, 2007, 12:55:53pm         Raised in West Texas until ambition also gave me wings to fly, I have a always had a difficult time conceptualizing how the place which makes me feel so safe everytime I return, could have been so very unkind to someone like Jennifer. Today, as the nation mourns the single largest massacre in modern times-robbing the world of so many young and idealistic people-my thoughts somehow are reminded of Jennifer: to do and be more, just as I am sure she would have eventually been. Heather, Ft. Knox, KY, February 28, 2007, 11:20:59am         I want to give you my deepest sympathies for your loss. I'm not quite sure how I found this site, since I did I wanted to express my sorrow that they have not solved it yet. I want to offer my prayers to you. I am only a few months older then Jenn, and I can't imagine the sorrow my family would feel for me. I hope that one day this case will be solved and it will give all the family some closure. Hold close to God, and He will hold close to you. With prayers and sympathy. Dara, somewhere, ca, December 19, 2006, 12:16:08am         Hi Jenn- The holidays are here. I know you would be loving it. I hope you are celebrating in Heaven. I love you and miss you every day. I will have at Gin and Tonic for you on Christmas! xoxox leslie, kosciusko, mississippi, November 23, 2006, 02:00:41am         just found this site and my heart breaks for you all. please know my prayers are with you and that justice will be done whether it is here on earth or on the great judgement day to come. the person responsible will not go unpunished either way. as a nurse, i have seen many tragedies play out before my eyes but i cannot imagine your sorrow or emptiness. God bless and comfort you all. Leah, Abilene, Tx, October 30, 2006, 08:48:18pm         I remember the day they found Jennifer. My friend lived a block off of Texas Ave. & we had worked out of town that day. When we got to her turn and we noticed the yellow crime tape at Hunters Ridge Apartments and knew something bad had happened. I turned on the news to see if anything was being reported and there was Jennifer's picture with the date of her birth and the date of her death. I was in shock. I could not believe that this had happened. I have never forgotten that day. I am upset that her ex-boyfriend has not been questioned again. There has to be some way to solve this crime. I am praying for Jennfer's family and hope her killer is brought to justice soon. John, Houston, Tx, October 25, 2006, 04:56:04pm         I read the series by Carlton and read that you have a website. I wanted to pay my respects and tell you that I feel for you.... I have a 31 year old daughter, named Jennifer, and I it would kill me if something like this happened to her. I was in Abilene for my 45th high school reunion and saw Carlton (whom I have known since high school).. He is a very emapathetic person and an excellent writer. I am glad he wrote this series (which I have read on line). Maybe it will lead to some leads.... I grew up in Abilene as did my mother and I lived there for the 1st 18 years. It is a good town with good people and it is bizarre that this would happen there; Dallas, Houston, New York... yes, not Abilene... I want you to know they have a very good police force and am sure they have worked hard on your case... again, I hope it turns up.. the person who did this will at some time tell someone... and they will turn him in... I feel confident. Take care and be strong. Warmest, John Odam Jon, Tijuana, Baja California, October 22, 2006, 11:58:16am         I am very sorry for your loss. My little sister was murdered in 1978 and the killer has not been found yet, so I know kind of what you are going through. There is always hope. And prayer. michael votaw, merkel, texas, October 16, 2006, 09:31:21pm         I remember Jennifer covering a local tragedy which was the death of abilene detective Jay Hatcher. Jay Hatcher was the best detective the Abilene police department ever had if a murder could be solved he would solve and he would never give up until it was solved. In memory of Jay Hatcher and Jennifer I challenge the Abilene police department not to give up and find Jennifer's killer. Detective Hatcher would have,he was a champion of victims! Jennifer, Toledo, OH, October 15, 2006, 10:07:13pm         I have a daughter not much younger than Jenn, and as a fellow Jenn, I can relate. Sherry and Norm, a bright light was extinguished and I feel your pain. I worry about my daughter with everything she does. Such is a sign of our times, unfortunately. How pathetic that the worst of us can take the lives of the best of us. It happens every day. Something needs to change! Kelly, Abilene, TX, October 12, 2006, 02:07:24pm         My thoughts and prayers are with Jennifer's family. I am from Abilene and the Abilene Reporter News has been doing a 8 part special on Jennifer's murder. It brought back all the memories as if it just happened yesterday. I didn't know Jennifer personally - but I was born in Abilene and have lived here for 36 years. Even though she was only here for a short time, she felt like one of our own! She is missed and I pray for justice for Jennifer - and her family. Elly, Suffolk, United Kingdom, September 25, 2006, 04:28:22am         It is always shocking to believe that humans are capable of doing this to others. To take away loved ones for no justifiable reason and to cause so much heartache. My thoughts and prayers are with Jennifer and her family, who have had to endure so much over the years. Janet Potter Leland, Kalispell, MT, September 23, 2006, 10:40:21pm         Happy Birthday Jennifer. You are not forgotten. God bless you Norm for always keeping your beautiful daughter's memory alive. She would be so proud of you. Justice will be served, we know that it's only a matter of time. Karin, Pittsburgh, PA, September 19, 2006, 01:50:00pm         I came across this website for Jennifer recently and was thinking of her this week, the anniversary of her tragic passing. I am a second step-cousin of Jen's but never had an opportunity to get to know her. Jen's mother is married to Tom, my mom's first cousin (Audrey). I remember hearing about this at the time and think of your families often, hoping you are finding some peace in knowing all the lives that were touched by Jen during her time on earth. This website is a nice tribute to her and I am hopeful that the person responsible will ultimately be discovered and brought to justice. Brian, Chattanooga, Tennessee, September 17, 2006, 10:57:05pm         Four years now have gone by and still no answers---but we still remember you Jen and think of you often. All of your friends from Texas still miss you and hope to help bring the person responsible to justice. To Jen's family, your Jennifer has touched our lives in a positive light and we are all grateful for that and hope we can somehow help in getting justice. Many thoughts and prayers. Kathryn, Chattanooga, TN, September 15, 2006, 05:15:40pm         As tommorrow marks another year since your untimely passing, I wanted you to know that even know I did not have the opportunity to know you-you are not forgotten. Doris Anderson, Anson, Tx, August 21, 2006, 03:39:06pm         My name is Doris, I lived in Abilene at the time, I was watching the news when I heard what had happenned to your daughter. I lived at the spanish Village Apts at the time about 6 blocks from where she lived. I can remeber when I was 14 yrs old, my mom sister was murdered, and I loved her so much. I asked my grandmother how was she able to handle losing her daughter, she was 35 yrs old when she was killed. My grandmother told me thru god helping her and letting god handle his revange was alot stronger then ours. I'm now 55yrs old and I buried my mom on my birthday this year: 4-17-06, that was the hardest thing for me to do, for my mom was like my mom but she was in a nursing home for 4 yrs and I took care of her and it feel like I lost my mom and a daughter. I'm waiting on a liver transplant I got real sick in Dec of 02 and found out my liver was at the end stage. I go to Baylor transplant hosptial in Dallas,Tx a lot waiting. I only knew your daughter thru new's but I have 1 daughter and 3 sons and I just wanted to let you know I have prayed alot that they will find who did this to Jennifer, and I know God walks ahead and sometimes we don't understand why thing's happen, but I do know God will help your whole family thru this and who ever did this will have to answer to god, on this earth or on judgement day. My prayer's are with you all. From Doris Anderson Kristen (Schermerhorn) Fifer, Pasco, WA, August 04, 2006, 01:12:25am         I tried to remember when I visited this site last and it has been a while; although I think of Jenn often. I'm still sad that there hasn't been anyone brought to justice for this horrific crime, but I still believe it will happen. Sherry, Norm and Christa-I know this waiting has to be tremendouly hard on you. I know you are doing everything you can and I would not give up on the justice system. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I love you guys---Kristen, Dave and the gang. Rick, Oklahoma City, OK, July 17, 2006, 11:39:44pm         Still thinking about you, Jen. Tracey, Houston, Texas, July 06, 2006, 03:02:37pm         I was living in Abilene, Texas when Jennifer's life was taken. I really just wanted to say that I am sorry for your heartbreak. I really do think that (suspect's name removed) should be considred the biggest suspect of course she would let him, she wasn't afraid him, it just doesn't make sense to me. Did they take any DNA samples? I think they need to do more investigating on this (suspect's name removed) character. If there is anything I can do to help please let me know. Good luck to you and your family. Ali Watkins, Missoula, mt, June 11, 2006, 01:00:16am         To Sherry and Jen's family: I can't believe it's been over 3 years since Jen was taken from us. I haven't forgotten about her or this tragedy and I especially haven't forgotten that the coward is still out there somewhere. I miss her and I think and talk about her often. I hope that you are all doing well and on your way to healing, if that's possible. Sherry, email me if you'd like, I still have Jen's Army jacket hanging safely in my closet if you still want it. I'm sorry I didn't send it to you yet. I always keep up on what's reported about her death with a sense of panic that you know who is the one. I can't help but feel that I could have, should have known something, that there was any indicator of the possibility that he could've done this. I try and try, but I can't think of anything that would have suggested that he had that capability and I remember every detail of our interactions, still nothing. Please know I would've protected her if I had felt that she was in danger. Jen, I miss you. I'm still living in Missoula, always wanting to get out to live in the city. There are so many things that happen that I think "Jen would LOVE that", like movies, songs, and t.v. shows. I was thinking the other day about the AT in Georgia when you were freaked out by the snakes and bugs, and the guys got mad because I let you sleep in most mornings. I miss those days. I wish you were here. Angela, Balch Springs, TX, May 28, 2006, 03:42:17pm         I stummbled across this site and read the horrible story that happened to Jennifer. I just wanted to say that I hope they catch the person who did this to her. Let justice be served. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family! RIP Jennifer. Jon Schermerhorn, Portland, TX, May 25, 2006, 09:27:11pm         Just watched Breakfast at Tiffany's (again). Miss You alot Jenn. You will never be forgotten. Carrie, North, Texas, May 18, 2006, 01:41:27pm         I previously lived in Abilene and remember the day I heard the terrible news about Jennifer on TV. Although I didn't know her, the story really saddened me. I'm so very sorry for your loss, and I pray that whoever is responsible will be brought to justice. I check the website from time to time hoping that there will be a break in the case. What a terrible, senseless tragedy. I remember watching her news broadcasts and thinking what a talented person she was. It is so frightening to think that there are people out there that can do such horrible things. I'm so very sorry. Sherry Servo Abel, Kalispell, Montana, May 17, 2006, 11:17:27pm         This is to Ryan Thomas: Thank you so much for your note. It means so much to me to hear from kids who knew Jen in school and work. Thank you for coming to her memorial service. It was a very difficult day and I don't remember some people who came to give their respects. I just know that Jen was by my side, telling me names of people I couldn't have remembered at that time, and comforting friends who could not possibly say what they wanted to me. We miss her so much. Since you went to school in Missoula, you may know that in April we gave another scholarship to a Journalism student, who was much like Jen. Dean Stone Night is as fun as ever! It makes me so proud that my daughter went to that school, made so many lifelong friends, and her professors are now my friends too. Who would have thought? I thank God for all of you! If you are ever in the area, please call. Thanks again for caring! We will have justice for Jen soon I pray! Sherry Servo Abel, Kalispell, Montana, May 17, 2006, 11:09:29pm         I just read the note fom Pat Sellers----thank you so much for your kind thoughts of Jen's mom on Mother's Day. Every holiday is very difficult not having my daughter with us. She always made Mother's day special, by coming home that weekend, or the days before, gifts she should not have spent money for, and her awsome loving cards she gave me. Thank God I kept them. We had such fun being best friends and mother/daughter, and her sister Christa made it a fun time being together. I will never forget our trip to Texas all the way from Montana--two gals who didn't travel across the state, let alone across the country to a new adventure for a spirited young woman's fresh new beginning in her career. As long as she had an apartment with a swimming pool, cable TV, dishwasher, and a job she was going to be happy. I know in my heart who killed my daughter, and pray he will be prosecuted soon. Thank you for your kind words and God Bless you and yours! Pat Sellers, Seminole, TX, May 14, 2006, 08:59:42pm         My mother and dad owned a cabin at Ivie Resevoir between San Angelo, TX and Brownwood, TX and we were visiting there. I can't remember which television channel I was watching, either San Angelo or Abilene, when they reported about Jennifer's murder. It was so tragic. It really affected me and I listened to every news report I could find that spoke about it while we were there. It really bothered me that she was new to the area, her parents from away, and she was just beginning a new job that she very much wanted to do. I don't have daughters but I really grieved for her and her mother. Not living there, I was visiting from 4 hours away, I didn't get to hear how the investigation went and if they ever found the person who murdered her. When I searched on the internet tonight is the first time I've thought to hunt for a story about it on the web but I thought of her and her mom every Mother's Day. I am so sorry they never found who did it but we all know that person will get his or her due when he/she meets their maker. That person can't have had much of a life and we all hope it has not gone well for him or her. My sympathy, heart, thoughts and prayers have gone to her mother for years. I will continue to pray for her family. I am so sorry that it happened and I am sorry, too, that someone in the state I love was responsible. I know her mom must have many loving memories. Love on this Mother's Day, 2006, goes from my heart to her mom's. Sincerely, Pat Sellers Ryan Thomas, Spokane, Washington, May 08, 2006, 09:50:16pm         I check this site from time to time to see if there is any new information. I didn't know Jennifer very well, but I hung out with her a couple of times in Missoula in the Spring of 2002 just prior to her graduation. My wife, Andrea "Drew" Barlow, graduated with Jennifer. Jennifer was a really fun person to be around. She had a radiance about her that just made you want to smile. I know for a fact that if she was still here today that she would be a force to reckon with in the broadcast news industry. She really had what it took to be successful. You should be very proud of all that your daughter accomplished in her all too short time on this earth. My wife and I made the trip to Kalispell from Spokane for her funeral. I still have not forgotten Jennifer and I don't think that I ever will. Someday I know that the heartless person who took her wonderful life away will be brought to justice. Don't give up. Jennifer wouldn't want you to!!! Jenny, Somewhere, California, May 01, 2006, 08:29:37pm         We have not forgotten. We think of her every day. Carol, Chicago, IL, April 19, 2006, 06:31:55pm         It is such a tradegy that our justice system has failed us time and time again. My angel entered the gates of heaven on Aug. 10, 2002 at the age of 20 due to homicide, there has been no justice. Justice only comes to a handful of high profile cases that are usually solved as a result of the media. We the United States are seeking imposing justice on foreign nations when we can't provide justice within our own county. Maybe we should give law enforcement an incentive to solve cases. A protion of their pay should be withheld for every unsolved crime maybe then they would work a little harder. I am so very sorry for your loss and I hope one day no matter how long justice will be served. Peace, love and ((Hugs)) http://www.mosesvargas.com Amanda, cambridge, ontario, April 07, 2006, 10:38:26am         i found this website while doing a project in school im sorry for the lose. it was a horrible crime and i hope justice is brought to the family of jennifer. Lorri, Abilene, TX, March 08, 2006, 11:48:25pm         I just wanted to assure you that the people of Abilene have not forgotten Jennifer.I check websites periodically and watch for clips on television programs. This case will be solved, and many of us are still praying for this to happen soon. Debbie, lincoln park, Michigan, March 08, 2006, 03:01:36pm         My heart goes out to the family and I hope and pray you get justice for Jennifer as I am trying to get justice for my missing mom Ruth Hoffman,God Bless You. Hug's Daughter of the missing Ruth Hoffman. Ron Watson, Midland City, Alabama, January 10, 2006, 11:50:24am         My deepest sympathy to the family.The "Footprint" of the crime is lack of physical evidence and the missing items. However, there is always something at a crime scene that directs a common sense investigator.If it looks like a duck, if it walks like a duck and if it quacks like a duck, it's a duck! Ron Watson Crime Scene Reconstruction Brenda, Reading, PA, December 22, 2005, 07:12:42pm         To Jennifers family,I am so sorry this horrible crime has happened. I can't even find the right words to express - I pray that the person responsible for this murder will be held accountable. They might hide here on earth, but God sees and knows everything. One day they will meet their maker and be truly punished for what they have done. Keep fighting for justice. The truth needs to be told. God Bless You ~ Brenda Lyndsie, Salt Lake City, UT, December 20, 2005, 04:09:21pm         I'm so sorry you had to go through this. Jennifer sounds like someone I would have loved to know. We won't let her be forgotten as time goes by, and her killer WILL be brought to justice. Stay strong and know you haven't been forgotten. pamela griffin, columbia falls, MT, November 26, 2005, 05:18:15pm         Norm,Sherryand Christa,Just to let you know I still think of and remember our Jen,and the family. So does Kimberly-She mentions Jen Often.God Be with you I'm praying this mystery is soon solved.Always Pamela Undercover J, Riverside, California, November 12, 2005, 12:52:41pm         Mr. Olson, I came across your site as I am a retired Detective for a Law Enforcement agancy in Calif. I too like your other responses in this guestbook cannot express any words that would even come close to eliminating the pain that exist as a result of this tradgey. However after 17 years of police work, I will only say this; The person that killed your daughter is out there and will be discovered. Continue to pursue by what ever means your quest to assist in that search. Find out what exactly has the different law enforcement agencies done to this point. Make them show you and tell you exactly what tyhey have done to investigate this case. I say this for a reason. Even though there has been a very Highly respected agency involved in your case, I highly recommend you DEMAND for them to show you everything and tell you everyone they have questioned, surveilled, profilled and run through the criminal history computer file base. I have seen enough times that cases like this are solved only after personality profiles are looked at with people that include family members that may not be immediate family members but close enough that Jennifer's accomplishments throught her life may have been used as constant communication from someone who's immediate family member is not so successful. I have also seen where the killer was a co-worker (same gender) and committed the act out of rage and jeleously. This was only discovered through a personality test given to employees where this individual proved to have a need to be recognized and that lead to a background check that uncovered a criminal history that was never discovered upon the employment of this individual. What I am saying may have been done or is currently being conducted. I don't know that. However, I do know that sometimes your have to push for answers and proof that these things are in fact being done. Sorry, but I know there are some lazy people in all walks of law enforcement and like you, I would not rest without answers. Keep up the great work as it will and has served for some healing in your loss as well. Feel free to contact me via e-mail if you desire. UC Cynthia Mendoza, Arlington, Texas, November 03, 2005, 02:57:20pm         To the parents of Jen.I feel for your family from the depth of my heart.I can not believe that someone from my hometown of Abilene could be so brutal and such a coward.When I was a child, Abilene was the safest city and now a beautiful woman's life has been cut short. I will pray for justice for all of you and hope that this sob comes to light soon. Rachael, Fort Worth, TX, September 24, 2005, 03:10:03am         I stumbled onto this site while surfing last night (which just happened to be 9/23.) What a terrible tragedy. I didn't know Jennifer, but I found myself crying while reading this site. What a huge loss for your family and for the world. She was clearly a special person. Don't think for a minute that this killer has "gotten away with murder" because God saw everything. This shell of a "human" is already dead inside. Only a souless, evil person could do something this horrendous. Turn Jenn's killer over to the ultimate authority, God, and this man will reap what he sowed. Nothing our justice system can do to this man will ever compare to what he has coming in the afterlife! God Bless your family and my Jennifer watch over you until you see her again. Norm, Columbia Falls, MT, September 23, 2005, 02:37:21pm         Happy Birthday Jennifer, I bet you had a good chuckle when I tried to light a couple of the candles I accidently put upside down in your cake today. I could almost hear you. Mr. Binx even sampled your birthday cake and seemed to like it almost as well as Whiskas. I've been thinking of all the fun we had throughout the years. Remember the songs I used to sing to you when walking you to sleep, or waking you in the morning? Some were pretty goofy, but one still holds true... "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine..." I love and miss you so much. Love, Dad Janet Potter Leland, Kalispell, MT, September 22, 2005, 08:23:33pm         Dear Norm and family, I was wondering why September 23rd rang a memory in my mind. I was thinking whose birthday is this, is there someone I am to remember? When I came home and checked your website which I do at least once a week, I realized it is because it is your beautiful daughter's birthday. You are amazing how you keep her memory alive. I check your website at least once a week just to see if there is anything new with the investigation, but also to read the beautiful tributes to your beautiful daughter. How proud you must be of Jennifer, but more importantly how proud she must be of you, her father. God Bless you, Norm, your friend from the time we were babies. Janet Nic La Rosa, Melbourne, Victoria, September 21, 2005, 11:09:36pm         Hi Norm. Just letting you know our thoughts are with you at this time and if there is anything we can do for you just let us know. Nic Christa, Springfield, Oregon, September 17, 2005, 01:13:46am         Dear Jen, I thought I was making it through this anniversary date ok, but here I am at 11:00, and I can't sleep. It is so sad to think that you were still alive at this time, three years ago. I wish we could turn back the clock, and those fateful hours never would have happened. I know everyone always says to move on and forgive, but it is hard to forgive when I know that the person who did this to you is still out there, and to this point has gotten away with murder. I know he will face justice at some point, and I do believe that, but it does not make these nights any easier. I just wish he would find it within himself to come forward and face what he has done. I don't know how he sleeps at night. I was reading what Dara wrote about Gin and Tonics and Red beer in your honor. It made me smile, because that is exactly what I have planned for your birthday next week. Mallory and I are going to take the day off of school and go shopping. Mom is sending her 20 bucks for the shopping trip so she can buy the Halloween Hephalump movie. She said to tell Mal that it is from Grandma Sherry and Aunt Jen. It is truly a celebration day! I hope your birthday will be a day that she always will look back on with fond memories...a celebration. I always take her picture next to the tree I planted in the yard in your memory. It is amazing in three years how much that tree has grown and how much Mallory has grown. You would be so proud of her. She gives me hell all of the time...you would love it! Anyway, that evening I am going out with the girls for drinks to celebrate your birthday. Mark will be there, too. He insists, since last year he missed out because Mallory was sick and he stayed home with her. We all miss you so much, and I know you will be right there with us on your birthday. I can\'t believe you would have been 26 this year. I still buy you birthday cards whenever I see a good "sisters" one. I don't know why, but it makes me feel better sometimes. Keep looking out for all of us, Jen. We all need a guardian angel sometimes. Still thinking of the time when we will get to see each other again. I'll probably be like a hundred years old or something...but that will be an amazing day. Miss you and love you so much. Your sister, Christa P.S. Mallory says she wants a baby sister, and she wants to name it "Little Bunny Foo Foo." :) She definitely got your sense of humor. I love you. Brian, Richmond, VA, September 16, 2005, 11:49:17am         Jen---we all still think of you and miss you. One wonders where you would be today in the biz if you were here today---I'm sure it's on the road to the Big Apple. Three years later we still hope and pray to get the coward who did this and hopefully we will, sooner rather than later. Rest In Peace in Heaven and I'm sure many red beers and G&T's will be had in your memory this weekend! Dara, Los Angeles, CA, September 16, 2005, 10:14:11am         Jen- I'm thinking of you today. As time passes it no longer seems like just yesterday we were having so much fun together. As time passes and life moves on I feel older and you are still 22. Not a day has passed in the last 3 years that I have not thought of you. I know we will have justice one day, and I know one day we will meet again. I miss you and continue to pray for your family. We were robbed of you and the sunshine you brought to this world. To the person who did this...I hope you don't sleep at night. If you do, you surely won't sleep in Hell. Jill B. - findcarrieculberson, G'ville, GA, September 16, 2005, 06:15:59am         Wanted to say that our group has not forgotten about Jennifer and we are thinking about her today on this unfortunate anniversary date of her passing. May you all find answers soon for whoever is responsible for her death. Laurie, Metropolis, Illinois, September 14, 2005, 04:57:49pm         I happened on this site and couldn't help but notice the date of 9/16. I remember hearing about Jennifer's story. I didn't know Jennifer but I was touched by her life's story. She was a very special person from the sound of it and it hurts me to think of the loss of this wonderful girl. As with all cases like this the family has their only comfort in all the great memories and the hope of someday being together again. I wanted to let you know that you're thought of and your girl is not forgotten. You are in my prayers. ldnb, abilene, tx, August 24, 2005, 09:03:01am         to jens family. I keep up with this case in hopes for yall that the killer is caught not only for the punishment he deserves but for your families state of mind. my dad was murdered in 1999 while at work 2 boys came in and robbed him and shot him and left him to die for 400 dollars. He was also out of state and no family there to be with him at the hospital i hated that for him the only closure was if they caught the monsters.They found them 4 days later. I coudnt have let my dad be buried and be at peace without them being caught. I pray that this monster will be caught and that you can let jennifer rest you never let them go but you do have it easier knowing she is safe with the lord and that know one will ever hurt her again. Jennifer O, Pen., BC, Canada, August 15, 2005, 03:36:33am         Dear friends and family of Jennifer Olson. My friend came across this website while 'google-ing' my name. My name is Jennifer Olson and Im 17. The love everyone on this website shows towards Jen is amazing and I am so incredibly sorry to hear of your loss. My cousin died in a shark accident when he was 19. Jen sounds like such an accomplished woman and with out even meeting her, I look up to her. My friend actually first sent me a picture of her Halloween book from the photo alblum. I mistakened if for something I wrote in grade 2 because of the writing. Jen sounded like such a fun person and truly lived her life to the fullest. There will be justice for her. Just stay strong and keep her memory alive. Jessica Murry (Thompson), Columbia Falls, MT, August 11, 2005, 06:20:40pm         I just wanted to say Hi to the family and let them know that I am ALWAYS thinking of all of you. Jenners was the closest thing I had to a sister. Living across the street from one another since we were 4 will build a deep relationship. When I tell people stories of my childhood there is maybe a handful of ones that do not include Jen. I remember making baby birds out of pinecones and using leaves for their wings and placing them in her trees that we practically lived in most of our childhood. All the nights that we stayed at each others homes, tanning on the deck, hottubbing, lots of bike riding, eating rhubarb dipped in sugar, walking to and from school, our first cars (which Jen had every fruit car freshner in hers), first job together at the waterslides and after work we would go to Dairy Queen for Pizza burgers and chocolate banana milkshakes. The list could go on forever. I will miss her so much and cannot wait to see her again with our Savior Jesus Christ. I send my love and prayers to the family and lots of kisses to Mallory. Love, Jessie and kids, Tanner and Jocelyn Also my husband Willie salutes Army Jen (that was his name for her) Katie Jones (Anderson), Boise, ID, August 10, 2005, 03:01:15am         I met Jen at the Marina Cay one summer when we worked there together. We hit it off and had a lot of fun that summer on Flathead Lake while at work and outside of work. We both moved to Missoula after the summer and took belly-dancing classes one winter. She was so beautiful, sweet, silly, and full of life. I moved to Boise the summer of 2001 and loved watching her on the news when I'd come home to visit my parents in Kalispell. My parents didn't have the heart to tell me about Jennifer until I was home for the holidays that year because I had suffered some other loses. My mom was afraid I'd find out watching the news, so she started crying and told me about it. She had saved all of the newspaper articles for me, and I still have them. I miss her very much and I am so sorry for your family. She is simply irreplaceable. Scott Clark, Missoula, Montana, August 06, 2005, 12:57:19pm         I worked with Jennifer at KPAX here in Missoula...she was a wonderful person, and she will always be missed. The person (if you can call him that) will face justice someday, one way or another...if not in this life, in the next. Sorry for your loss, Scott ERICA ARISPE, ABILENE, TX, August 03, 2005, 10:21:11am         I AM VERY SORRY TO HEAR OF YOUR LOSS. I JUST MOVED INTO THE HUNTERS RIDGE APARTMENTS AND IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION ABOUT THE MURDER OF JENNIFER. I WILL KEEP HER AND YOUR FAMILY IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS AND I AM IN HOPE THAT THIS COWARD WILL BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE. I WAS DISAPPOINTED TO HEAR THAT NO ONE HAS BEEN CAUGHT AND A LITTLE AFRAID. I WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS BEFORE I MOVED HERE, BUT I NOW EXERCISE MORE CAUTION. I AM VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS, AND HAVE FAITH THAT JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED. WITH DEEPEST SYMPATHY ERICA ARISPE Chris Werner, Anchorage, AK, July 29, 2005, 12:34:06am         I used to work with Jen at KPAX in Missoula when she first started. The day I found out she was killed, I felt numb. I could not believe something like this could happen to someone so full of life. I still have an e-mail from her that I cannot bring myself to delete. I hope the person responsible is found. maureen, liverpool, UK, July 28, 2005, 01:54:05pm         I was so moved by jennifers memorial god be with you maureen - james mum http://www.justiceforjames.tk C. Maxwell, Abilene, TX, July 26, 2005, 01:40:59pm         Hang in there. It takes time. Don't give up, keep fighting for Jennifer. Megan, Dallas, Texas, July 02, 2005, 09:02:32pm         I saw your story on America's Most Wanted and I hope justice will soon be served. I lost my brother more than ten years ago to homicide but remember that she is always with you in rememberance and spirit. Jill, Gainesville, GA, July 02, 2005, 08:56:18pm         Norm and Family, I saw Jennifer's story on AMW just now. Wanted you all to know that I've been thinking of Jennifer. Earlier this past week the other news anchor Jody Huisentruit was "missing" for 10 years. I always associate these two together because they were news anchors. Please know that you will remain in my prayers. Justice will be found for Jennifer. Bailey, Beach Area, CA, June 30, 2005, 01:57:15pm         I'm a 19 year old criminal justice student and I just found out a week ago that one of my guy friend's daughter was murdered by a trusted family friend. Stories like this give me the strength to pursue my goal in life which is to be a PROSECUTOR....these stories and pictures help me know that I am making the right career choice and to put criminals behind bars for good! Sally, Rossford, OH, June 28, 2005, 07:51:53am         My heart aches for you. Jennifer may be with my son Steven who died in 1989 age 18. Their lives were short but I am thankful we were blessed to have shared them with friends and family that loved them. God bless you with good memories. brandy vanderslice, memphis, tennessee, June 27, 2005, 05:02:51pm         I am realy sorry for your loss. Jennifer sounds like a pleasant person to have known. You were all blessed to know and love her. I have lost someone close to me due to violence and answers do bring closure, but I have found that it is easier to go on surrounding myself in our lost loved ones memories. I pray that you all do get the closure you deserve..Justice will prevail either on earth or at judgement. May God be with you all. Julie, Dallas, Texas, June 22, 2005, 02:10:32pm         I was on the Texas Equusearch website and saw Jennifer's story. I want to express my deepest sympathy for Jennifer's family and friends. I will keep you all in my prayers. The truth ALWAYS comes out! You will find the person responsible, NEVER give up! Teraisa, Carson City, Nevada, June 19, 2005, 05:24:43am         Yep, I know, sometimes it's like I am not here, but I am. Still. I always will be--even after Jennifer's murderer has been forced to reveal him/her-self and is brought to justice. You know I still send prayers. We are still going strong on our own case, but never far from thinking of you and Jennifer. brandy, Salem, Oregon, June 16, 2005, 05:38:16pm         I am very sorry for your loss don't ever lose hope it could take another year or five but they will pay for there crime be strong and just remember you have a guardian angel looking out for you. Jennifer O., Tulsa, OK, June 15, 2005, 08:15:41am         I came across your website looking for my sister-in-law's stats page. Her name is Jennifer Olson as well. I felt compelled to leave a message with you having shared not only a name, but a similar background with your Jennifer. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. True justice if not served here on earth, will be served when the guilty one has to be held accountable before the throne of God. I truly will be praying for peace for you and your loved ones. A friend, Haskell, Texas, June 10, 2005, 04:01:12am         To the family and friends of Jennifer: No one leaves this earth without scars. No one will ever know your pain and torment. Great words of wisdom, I do not have. I will not pretend to even imagine the depth of despair that you must feel every waking moment. I only hope as time passes by, that you truly realize what she brought into your lives. Try to remember why she was here. I know your scars are infinite. But until you let go of the bitterness and anger, you will never begin to heal. You had years of something so precious. Some-thing that some people never have, not even for a moment. I am so very sorry that your Jennifer was taken away so cruely. But hopefully some day you can be thankful for what you had, and grateful for what you have. Jon Schermerhorn, AL Manama, Bahrain, June 06, 2005, 11:50:46pm         Hello from Bahrain and Operation Enduring Freedom, Jenn. You are gone but will never be forgotten. Josephine Reinert, Peoria, Arizona, May 11, 2005, 04:42:04am         Dear Jennifer's Family, I am sorry for your pain and will keep you in my prayers. I lost my husband in a hit and run accident in Abilene on 01/08/02 and remeber your story and the pain of having to go through such a personal tragedy in such a public way, a pain no one should ever have to endure. I hope and pray you get the answers you need and hope you do not lose your faith. My husband's killer was found but the time that we did not know gave me a glimps into what your world must be like. Again hang in there! Marie, Anderson, IN, May 04, 2005, 10:48:13pm         Dear Jennifer's Family, I just want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you through this hard times. I lost my mother in 2004 of sept she was a murder victim. Never solved yet! I know what you are going through and I just want you to know someone knows what you are going through. God Bless you Randie, Dillon, Mt, April 25, 2005, 06:52:25pm         I didnt know her.. My cousin's probably did though.. I have family in Columbia Falls and Kalispell.. I thank God everyday that they are in my life.. I dont know what i'd do if i'd lose them.. I pray that justice is served and that your family and jennifer can FINALLY be at peace... Debbie, Houston, TX, March 25, 2005, 09:41:52pm         My prayers to all the loved ones of Jennifer Olson. I had flagged the Dru Sjodin site when America was searching for this precious child. I try to go back to the site often. Although I did not personally know her, I do not want to forget her. I pulled her site up tonight and found the link for Jennifer. I sat here reading about her life, those she touched and those who loved her and still mourn her. Another young life taken to soon, by some heartless creature. My prayers to the family that your Heavenly Father along with precious memories of your darling daughter give you comfort each and every day. Connie K., Nashville, TN, March 22, 2005, 09:23:25pm         I'm not sure how I found this site but I've been deeply touched at the profound love and light that Jennifer had about her in life. It's obvious she was loved and gave love back freely. To her father, thank you for the notes about Mr. Binx. I was concerned about Jenn's furry friend. As one animal 'person' to another, I know he must have a huge void in his life as well, when Jenn passed on. Even so, I know her spirit and memories will live on and that he who is guilty of this horrid crime will pay - and dearly, one way or the other. Thanks Jenn - and thanks to friends and family for sharing her joyful spirit and keeping her memories alive. (from Connie and cats Evan and Lucky). Kristin, Livingston, Colorado, February 28, 2005, 05:42:02pm         I am a junior at Western State College in Gunnison Colorado. I am in a forensic class and we have to do a paper on a unsolved murder. I was looking on the internet when I came across this site. I was wondering if you could please email me back and let me know if it is ok with you to use your daughter's case for my paper, I could not without your consent? Her case is unbelieveable and I am so sorry that it has not been solved yet. I think this guest book and whole site is really touching. I do give you my blessing and prayers!! Kristin Livingston Mia, Roswell, New Mexico, February 28, 2005, 03:19:13pm         I read this just like my friends, and i am so sorry for your family's loss.i know my words and thoughts won't bring her back,but just know that your family is in all of our prayers. Griselda, Roswell, NM, February 28, 2005, 03:15:36pm         I read this Feb 28,2005 and i almost cried. That is really terrible what happend and i hope that the killer can be brought to justice. I am truly sorry for your loss now I have added more people to my prayers. Even though that i am only 14 yrs old i will try my best to help your family find the killer of your daughter, and i am going to have the help from my friends like Heather and Mia because they read this and they feel really bad also. Your family has suffered a great loss and i am really sorry. Your family will be in prayers. Heather, Roswell, NM, February 28, 2005, 11:32:42am         Hi,I'm a 14 year old girl that is into forensics and I am doing a paper on it thats what brought me here and I would like to say that I'm sorry for what happend .I didn't know her but after reading about her .I feel like I know her.GOD BLESS your family Dr. Ronald M. Holmes, Louisville, KY, February 25, 2005, 09:14:30am         I am so sorry for the family. I cannot image the depth of their sorrow and pain. Kayla Fowler, Hamilton, Ohio, February 15, 2005, 12:24:31am         I am dearly sorry for what happened to jennifer. My grandpa was killed by someone and the guy has never been caught for what he done.I hope Jennifer gets justice soon. Amanda (Hackett) Walker, Olympia, WA, February 10, 2005, 04:54:11pm         It makes me sick to my stomach to know that Jen's killer is still out there, living his/her life while her family and friends are left with a void. I went to High School with Jen. We cheered together, worked together at Big Sky Waterslide, we used to dress up in as much camouflage as we could find and run around the whopping town of Columbia Falls, MT. I think about Jen a lot, I think about how most girls our age are getting married and starting families...That was selfishly taken from Jen. My thoughts and prayers are with Jen's family. Christa, I know Jen would have been the worlds best aunt! Keep hopeful, never give up, because the monster that did this WILL be brought to justice! Coralan Shields, Columbia Falls, Montana, February 05, 2005, 04:32:55pm         I guess I'm still in disbelief that Jennifer is gone. I had a clothing class with her in high school. She was always very kind and friendly to me, as well as everyone else. I'll always remember her laughing and having fun in class. Every once and while I come to your website hoping to find the news that her killer has been found. That is my biggest hope, so that it may bring a little peace to everyone that knew her. Jill, North, GA, February 01, 2005, 08:43:23pm         I wanted to tell you that I am thinking of Jennifer always. I go down my list each morning to check for news on Jennifer and all the others. I feel that justice will prevail for your family. God bless you. Jennifer and you all have never been forgotten. Jill,www.findcarrieculberson.com, www.angelgardenofhope.com Dave Andrews, Abilene, TX, February 01, 2005, 01:46:34pm         I'll never forget the feeling I got when I heard of this horrible crime. I have lived and worked in Abilene for 16 years. In all of the time I have spent here it has been an exceptional community to live in. I worked in the local media and even had the fortune to meet Jennifer. She was a very sweet lady. I just hope that her family knows that Abilene Texas is praying for them, and praying that they get JUSTICE! We are a proud friendly community that morns this loss to this day. God Bless you Jennifer Matthew, Kingsburg, CA, January 29, 2005, 12:39:24am         I'm 17 and am currently a senior at Kingsburg High School. I first heard about this horrifying death on AMW, it touched me because my dream career is to become a TV reporter after college. Jennifer Servo is now my hero and I give her a lot of credit for all of her wonderful achievements. After exploring the website, it sounds like she was level-headed and had a good future lying ahead. I got goosebumps from reading the comments. This is a very sad case, and I don't know what it feels like to lose someone close, but just hang in there and I hope to God you guys will obtain justice and find whoever is responsible. Lee Ann, Montgomery, Vermont, January 17, 2005, 02:16:53am         I am so sorry about your daughter. I will pray for Peace of Mind for all Your Family,Friends. I have also lost a step-son,a dirt bike accident,on 8-24-04. Peace of Mind is what our family hopes for. A Loss is painful, a child is unspeakable. I know the reason we lost our son is not the same as your loss, but the PAIN IS THE SAME. Pray for Peace of mind,and always take care of one another, Best Wishes to you All, Lee Ann. Glenn Owen, Texarkana, Texas, January 12, 2005, 01:20:56pm         As a former criminal investigator for the Dept Of Army and a former Texas peace officer I can tell you I have been involved in many homicide cases. It just tears my heart out when I see such lovely young ladies taken away from us in such a viciouse manner. Jennifer was in the prime of her life and had everything going for her. I noticed Robert Cookes post and have spoken to Robert and know the pain he's going through as he continues to look for Rachel. To Norman and Jenn's mother and sister may God bless you and rest assure Jenn is at peace now. The blood of Christ gives us ever lasting life. And to the killer it's not very difficult to figure out who killed Jenn. Rest assure punk your life will never be the same and your alibi stinks. Soon my brother Texas police officers will develope your dna and will be paying you a visit!!! Anyone with information please feel free to e-mail me. I will see it gets to the proper authorities. And to Jenn I never knew you in life only after you were so brutally taken away from us. I only wish I could have been there early that Monday morning to protect you from that jealous no count scum bag. Rest assure we will not stop until he pays for what he did to you. bigorville2001@yahoo.com Melissa, Spanaway, Washington, January 05, 2005, 06:28:12pm         Dear family of Jen. I know in my heart that jen and God are watching over you. I know justice will become a reality someday soon. To the person who did this if earth don't get you God will. I thank God for John Walsh, that is where i first saw this story. God Bless you and I am praying for you everyday. Norbert Rossi, Walla Walla, WA, December 13, 2004, 09:13:00pm         Dear Friends, I was very sad to hear of your loss in Jennifer's tragic death. Christa, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your whole family. kimberly(baier)christianson, whitefish, montana, November 25, 2004, 04:05:36pm         hi jen, i have not wrote yet, i'm not sure why, mostly because i still don't want to believe that this is the truth. i really miss you. i got married on september 17th, i was thinking of you alot. you should have been there. you would have had alot of fun. lots of old friends and a big party! christa sent me the cds that you made for your trip to abilene. i listen to them all the time, it makes me feel close to you. i miss you and love you, but i know i'll see you again someday! whoever took jen from us, you will be found it's only a matter of time. you will be dealt with in life and death. but i will never ever forgive you for what you did. angela, winnipeg, Canada, November 22, 2004, 10:55:58pm         What a bright light. Thank you for sharing such a brilliant life! It goes on. Robert Purnell, Wellington, New Zealand, November 20, 2004, 04:38:01pm         I am a member of the unsolved crimes yahoo group and I was given this link from a friend of mine that runs the group, I just wanted to say after reading everything I could about it that i am deeply saddened by what I read and I have much sympothy for Jennifers family and friends. Thank you, all the best and keep the memory of Jennifer alive, always. J. Servo, Portland, OR, November 15, 2004, 11:05:14pm         I recently saw the story of Jennifer Servo on AMW. I was very curious as Servo is not a common name. I realized after finding this site that we were distant relations. My Grandfather, Conrad Servo was the brother of Jennifer's Grandfather, Garfield. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends, I am sorry I never met her. I hope her killer is found soon and brought to justice. Jill B., Gainesville, GA, November 05, 2004, 06:22:28am         Just wanted to stop in and say that I am still watching for any news on Jennifer. I feel that answers will come to light soon. Anne, Atlanta, Georgia, October 28, 2004, 04:32:16pm         I saw a piece about Jennifer on Court TV today and wanted to know more, so I did a search and found this touching website. I am so sorry that Jennifer did not get to fulfill all her dreams. From what I have read here, I am sure she had many plans for a bright future. I will remember her family and friends in my prayers and hope that God gives you the strength to go on. Nick LaFave, Lansing, Michigan, October 15, 2004, 09:46:00pm         I worked with Jen at KECI in Missoula. In fact, I began anchoring weekend weather just as she started as the weekend reporter. I was by no means Jen's best friend at the station. A close aquaintence is probably a better way to put it. But, we shared several laughs. I helped her with a few school projects, helped her with some stories, and gave her a little coaching with the resume tape that got her the job in Texas. Jen was never not fun to be around. Even if she was having a bad day -she'd still find a way to smile and make you laugh. That's what I still and always will remember about her. A love for life, and a contagious sense of humor. When she was taken I was working in our sister station KTVM in Bozeman, Montana. That night I delivered the sad news to our viewers that Jen had been taken (viewers there saw her on the KECI weekend show). I was the only person at that station of the NBC Montana family that knew her. There's never been a tougher story for me to read on air... but I wanted to be the one to do it, because I was the only one who knew her. Jen, I never knew you as well as Dara, Alia or many others at KECI did... but, the fact that you still touched me and I will always remember you is testimony to the type of person you were. Thank you for all the laughs... my prayers are with your family... your light will never go out. Rick, Toledo, Ohio, October 13, 2004, 11:37:38am         I pray every day for justice and peace to come to your family. I will never forget. Christa Slaten, Springfield, OR, October 11, 2004, 11:30:37pm         Jen,we are all still missing you and think of you every day. Mark, Mallory, and I bought a brick at the University of Montana and it is engraved with your name in your memory. Mallory still asks about you all of the time. Now that she can talk she says "That's my Aunt Jen" (in a picture by her bed)"She's an angel" "She's in heaven" She says "ni-night Aunt Jen, I love you" every night. I know you can hear her. It still amazes me how it seems as though Mallory really knows you. I know you are watching over her. Thank you for that. It's been two years, now. We all make it through our days, and there is sunshine, and there is sadness, but, somehow life does go on. I went out on your birthday with friends and we had Gin & Tonics in your honor. You would have loved it. I miss you so much, Jen. I hope people will read this and call their sisters and tell them they love them. I wish everyday I could just call and talk to you. We will find out who did this to you. I found a Christmas ornament this weekend. It's an angel, and it says "My sister is laughter even on the cloudy days of life." That is one thing I miss the most. Hearing you laugh. (even if it was at me) I miss you, Jen. Keep smiling down on us. Love, Your Sister Christa Jill B. (FindCarrie), Southern, GA, October 07, 2004, 04:45:50pm         I just wanted to leave a message for the family of Jenifer and let them know that I found her a site a while back and she was then added to Carrie's message board. Jennifer was a very pretty young woman and I hope that justice prevails for her family. You all are welcome on our site any time. You can come over and post any information, or thoughts you want. Your website looks very good and I will be checking in on Jennifer's story several times a week. http://www.findcarrieculberson.com Marie T, St. Ignatius, MT, September 23, 2004, 03:48:45pm         To the family of Jennifer Servo. Althought I never had the pleasure of meeting your Jen I feel the loss through the comments in this guest book. I have kept up with the news about this tragic loss. I too have a "Jen" in my life and we treasure her every day. We continue to pray for your family and for Jen to keep watching over you all. I pray that the evil person responsible for her death will be brought to justice soon. I hope this site helps you in all ways. God bless you and keep you in his hands. Margie Henderson, Kalispell, MT, September 23, 2004, 01:43:45pm         Happy Birthday Jennifer - My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Margie Pam, Kila, MT, September 23, 2004, 10:23:07am         Happy Birthday Jennifer. Norm - our thoughts and love are with you. Norm, Columbia Falls, MT, September 23, 2004, 10:07:46am         Today should have been Jennifer's 25th birthday, but instead she will always be 22. Jennifer, you brought the happiest years of my life. I often feel you helping me through the difficult days until we are together again. Thank you for sending Mr. Binx, he shares the most peaceful hours. To the killer: You haven't gotten away with anything. You have to look at an insect in the mirror every day and have damned your soul for eternity. I'm confident that man's law will deal with you as well. Eliette, Miami, Fl, September 22, 2004, 07:32:41pm         My thoughts are with you and your family. May God bless. She is in peace up in heaven. Brian, Richmond, VA, September 18, 2004, 01:47:14pm         Two years ago today I went to check on Jennifer at her apartment--in my gut I thought something had to be wrong but I could have never imagine what had actually happened. That day will always stay with me unfortuantely. But, the great memories that I had a chance to make with Jen will outshine that day. She was so fun to be around drinking buckets of margaritas by my pool...going to a Rangers game and Roswell....in the short time I knew you Jen, I had such a blast. Of course you made us all cry laughing whenever we played "categories" and so many people remember the "texas" outfit you wore the last night we went to the Rockin' Rodeo. You've touched all of our lives and none of us will ever forget you. We all look forward to the day when we can watch and help put your murderer away for good. We miss your smile and your excitement for the news. One can only imagine where you would be right now in the business had this never happened. We know you are in a better place and are having one of those awful red beers of yours watching over us. Your entire family has and always will be in my thoughts and prayers. We miss you Jen and we won't stop trying to get justice! Kristen (Schermerhorn) Fifer, Pasco, WA, September 15, 2004, 12:50:31am         Jenn- We all really miss you. Two years later and it is as fresh as the day Christa called me to tell me. Remember how people thought we sounded the same on the phone and looked alike? I think I remember someone telling me that when you were in cross country Mr. Gasche thought I came out for cross country again and I had already graduated High School. You were the greatest sister to Christa. It was fun having you hang around Christa and I; singing in your Mom's wood-heated hot-tub; watching Dirty Dancing for the one-millionth time; helping us clean up the gym the morning after prom! What were you then, 11 or 12 years old?! It seemed like you just went through our whole high school career with Christa and I. I'm very proud of what you accomplished in your short life and you are an inspiration to me. You are proof that you can do whatever you put your heart and mind to and I loved that about you most. Thanks to Norm for making this website. I know the murderer will be brought to justice. My prayers are with you, Sherri, Christa and all your extended family. I love you guys---kristen :-) Dara, Los Angeles, CA, September 01, 2004, 11:09:26pm         Hey Dawlwwlling- I miss you so much. I just found an old email from you tonight; it was dated two years ago tonight. You were so happy and so excited. I just can’t believe it has been almost two years. This is going to be a rough month. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you. Nor does a day pass when I don’t question who could have done this to you. I miss you so much. I miss sharing all my big news, I miss you when I shop online, thanks for getting me addicted (: and most of all I miss talking to you about all the big news in our lives for hours and hours. I’ve moved to Los Angeles, and life is just so good, but I often feel so guilty that you are missing out. I know right now we’d be planning a trip for you to visit…we never did get to do that crazy shopping spree on Rodeo that you dreamed of. I know you hear us, and I KNOW you are watching over me, but it’s just not the same without you Jen. The killer had no idea of all the people he was robbing. I know this will one day get solved…..in the meantime know that we miss you so much it hurts and we love you and your spirit that lives on. Save some sunshine in Heaven for the rest of us!!! I love you Jen!!!! Nichole, Abilene, Texas, August 29, 2004, 09:57:54pm         I remember turning on the television and seeing a picture of jennifer, saying the year she was born and the year she died...i was in total shock..i did not believe what i was seeing...she was a fantastic reporter..and you have every right to be sooo proud of who she was!! I would have loved to have been able to meet her, i was always envious of her positive and outgoing attitude! We all love you here in abilene, In our prayers you are kept always! Cambria Paschal, Abilene, Texas, August 27, 2004, 03:38:47pm         I remember the day when Sherry Roberts and Downing Bowles shared the terrible news that Jennifer was murdered. Sherry Roberts cried, my family and I cried. We had seen Jennifer reporting for a while. She was a great reporter. I was surprised we never got to see her reporting for the TODAY show or national news. God bless her family and friends. Many prayers are being said for you. May someday peace is brought to you, because the killer has been caught and will serve justice. May her killer rot in *%$$! YOU monster, I hope you turn yourself in, because if you don't the police will. YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN"T HIDE! Casey, Mascoutah, Illinois, August 27, 2004, 03:18:46am         My thoughts are with you during this difficult time. May God bless you! Barbara, West Texas, Texas, August 23, 2004, 08:55:47am         My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I had the pleasure of knowing Jenn at KRBC and I will never forget how much she smiled and fell right into becoming a part of the KRBC family. That was a devastating day for us all. To her killer Paybacks are Hell. Which is exacltly where you should be. You are such a coward how do you look at yourself in the mirror ? How could you be so heartless ? I hope your mother is gone from this life so she doesn't have to be mortified by you. You'll be caught ..... God Bless you All. Ginny, Abilene, TX, August 21, 2004, 09:50:14pm         In the short time we had the opportunity to watch Jennifer report the news, we grew to love and appreciate her. We just want you to know, she is not forgotten. We pray her killer will be brought to justice so you may experience some small amount of peace. God Bless her family and friends. shauna vaillancourt, presque isle, maine, August 20, 2004, 08:56:30am         i hope that her killer is caught. i am really sad for her family and all of her friends. i will pray that her killer will be caught! GOD BLESS Jackie, marble, pa, August 18, 2004, 03:37:44pm         GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR'S. TAJA BARNES, cleveland, oh, August 11, 2004, 09:49:52am         I just heard about your precious daughter on the Maury show which aired 8-11-2004. I can't believe they haven't caught who did this to Jennifer yet. I hope that you don't give up on calling the police asking what they've found out so far. I know Jenn is looking down on us all and saying look there and you'll see what will break this case. But we can't hear her voice to help us so we'll have to put it in the Lords hands. She is also looking at the man that hurt her saying why did you do this to me? This is someone she knew and she wasn't worried about getting dressed when letting them in Lets just pray for a break in this and other unsolved cases. I will keep your family in my prayers. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!! dede /, Vidor, Texas, August 08, 2004, 09:38:15am         Hello..... We are dede & dale Keene Founders "AMALP"NP Foundation Ministry. We heard today that a TV show is going to showcase Jennifers story this week or soon. We are thankful for your sake that attention is being brought to this case. We pray that answers will come soon. Someone definately knows something and thank GOD you won't give up til you have your answers and JUSTICE for JENNIFER! We are PRAYING for you all! GOD BLESS you & yoUrs In CHRIST dede & dale Founders "AMALP" http://community.webtv.net/superkeene2/AmericasMissing Karene Forrester, Port Land, Jamaica, August 07, 2004, 10:31:33pm         Hey I just wonna say life goes on cheer up I think Jennifer would say "don't morn for go on living" cause life is for living, Jennifer is some where on the right on side of our saviour as to here killer your time will come. Jennifer is gone how will you be going think about that Nuf love from Jamaica Karene, Yvonne, Donna Janet Schminkey (Rockhill), Cedar Rapids, Iowa, August 06, 2004, 06:26:06pm         I can find nothing to write worth anymore than just words which probably won't comfort you much. But within my heart, I will carry and keep carrying a weight of Jennifer and my prayers and thoughts for her and all of her loved ones. If your loss is going to paint a part of your life, I give you the brightest colors I can. My closest friend lost a 17 month old baby girl and she has told me that the pain will never leave but the Lord has helped her to deal with it. She is surprisingly thankful today. I'm sure Jennifer would want her new life and memory painted so brightly and for your sadness to turn into a strength to live your life with gratitude to her new keeper, Jesus, for taking her to a place of peace. Where not a better place to be.? You will be with her again. This person/s who took her life here on earth, if not found, will pay when their time comes and will not live a good life. All of my prayers will be for and with you forever. Chuck Richardson, Mayo, MD., August 06, 2004, 03:09:58pm         I to am very sorry for your loss.No one should have to live through something like this. She was very beautiful and this website in a wonderful tribute to her life and Family.She was an angel here on earth and now she is an angel in heaven as she sits by the hand of GOD. Take care in the knowledge that she now watches over all of you with love and when your time comes she will be there to greet you in her loving arms.Please take care.Chuck. Marie, Wilmington, Delaware, August 06, 2004, 11:34:57am         I am so very, very sorry for your loss. I pray for your family and for Jennifer that the person who took her life is caught. God bless you all. Teraisa J. Rogers, Carson City, Nevada, August 04, 2004, 04:46:16pm         Dear Jennifer's Family--I cannot imagine what you must be going through, but I have many friends who are going through the same horror and I feel for you all so much... much more than words can say. I will be writing you privately soon. Take care and my prayers are with you and in justice being served. Teraisa J. Rogers; http://TrueCrimeFanatic.com Jane, Abilene, TX, August 03, 2004, 07:00:41pm         I too, vividly remember the day we turned on the five o'clock evening news to see Sherry Roberts and Downing Bolls -Sherry in tears- explaining their loss. I think the whole Abilene Community mourned then and now. I can not imagine the pain that the family is going through, but I can say that my family deeply sympathizes. rachael, waterbury, ct, July 18, 2004, 11:15:25pm         I came across this site by accident while looking at the laci peterson site and i wanted to say i am so sorry for your loss. She was a beautiful woman, obviously loved by many and I know she is in heaven watching over you all. I am so sorry, please know you and your family are in my thoughts. God bless you and take care. I will pray for justice. Ali Watkins, Missoula, MT, July 12, 2004, 12:04:38am         My message is to Jen. I miss you. I think of you all the time--every time I pass the KECI office, every time I pass Fort Missoula, when I'm watching "Sex and the City" over and over, when I see bits of "Moulin Rouge", when I hear "Moon River". I cry, I get angry, I wonder why he did this, I wonder if I should've seen something that I didn't (based on the gut feeling that I know who did this to you). I think of our drive to Helena that summer, jamming to Prince and hoping like hell that we didn't hydro-plane in your little car. Swapping trashy women's magazines and checking out the shopping in Abilene via the Helena Library computers. I remember everything about you, every conversation, and how you could recite all the lines to Forrest Gump and Breakfast at Tiffany's. I couldn't take going to drill after you were gone, I cried driving up to building 26 and always felt your void. I saved your presentation on symptoms of nerve gas poisoning with all of the goofy pictures and narration-I kept it posted to my office wall and now I keep it neatly rolled up in my home. I can't seem to part with it, not even to give it to your Mom. You'd be so proud of me, Jen, I had a baby and he's beautiful, I know you'd love him. I have almost all seasons of Sex and the City on DVD and I'm as protective of them almost as much as I'm protective of Julian. I miss you dearly and I will never, ever forget you or your fabulous sense of style. To Jen's family, I hope that you are all doing well and I am sorry I've fallen out of touch. I don't know what to do or what to say, but I want you to know that my love for Jen will never wane and I think of you often. To the person who did this, you are a coward and I can't wait for the day that you suffer for this heinous crime. Carol, Plantersville, Texas, July 11, 2004, 11:13:05am         To the family of Jennifer. My prayers go out to you as I have also lost someone so young and dear to me in 1991 which was my daughter. She was a pedestrian and hit by a hit and run driver and still unsolved to this day. I have sent this on to others in Texas in hopes it will help in finding who did this to your daughter. Teresa, Abilene, Texas, June 28, 2004, 01:56:47pm         To the family of Jenn. My prayers go out to you as I have also lost someone so young and dear to me in 1998, my niece. I sincerely hope and pray that GOD will answer all prayers and lead the culprit to justice. Look to the Lord and he will give you strength to go on thru each passing day. And hopefully soon the one who did this will pay for the crime. May GOD create such guilt in the culprit's heart and soul that they feel they must confess for the saving of their own soul. GOD has given each of us the right to life. He will take care of this person on judgement day. Your family is always in my prayers... Misty, Abilene, Tx, June 27, 2004, 11:23:16pm         This is a chilling story that I cant believe hasnt been solved yet. Its scary to know someone has so little soul to brutally kill another human being in our city. I just hope they catch the killer who done this. p.griffin, columbia falls, mt, June 27, 2004, 11:01:42pm         I thought I'd share a funny incident told to me by Jen. It always makes me smile and shows the imp side of our girl. She was a good friend to my daughter. She told me one day,I think she was a Freshman at the time ,she had received detention that day for nonverbal back talk.That back talk was eyerolling, which she immediatly showed me. If you knew Jen, then just picture her doing a big blue eyed eye roll.It's bound to make you smile. The rest of my message is to Jen's killer. Just in case he has found this site. We all know you must be carrying a huge amount of guilt around and the best thing you could do for yourself and the rest of us is to confess. To confess and be forgiven(not by any of us that knew and loved Jen.)but by your MAKER.It would at least give her parents some closure,us too. Try it we'll love it. K.M.Brown, Abilene, TX, June 27, 2004, 10:01:34am         Although I didn't personally know Jennifer, I feel as if I did. It was as though she was a part of my family, because she was in my home, via television each day. She was a lovely young lady with a beautiful smile. My prayers are with Jennifer's family. I'm sure her killer will be caught with all of the prayers going out. How could God not answer all of those prayers. Noel McNamara, Ferntree Gully, Australia, June 24, 2004, 02:40:14am         Hi Norm like you I had our eldest daughter murdered in 1992 thankfully we got the scumbag, and my heart and prayers are with you ever day in your fight for justice Jennifer is a charming young lady and will no doubt be a top angel up there with our girl,from someone who's been there Kaye Dobrocke, Missoula, Montana, June 20, 2004, 11:24:25pm         I am Anne Herzog (Dobrocke's) mom, and I remember Jennifer from high school. She came to our home on 10th Ave. West in Columbia Falls, and I was struck by her beautiful smile, and how genuine and energetic she was. She had a sparkle in her eyes & a great personality. Today (June 20th) it has been 4 years since I lost my stepson, Fletcher to an airline crash, and I just can't imagine the pain you must be in. My sympathies lie with you & your family. I pray that you will find some solace and that the person who did this to all of you will be brought to justice. God bless you all. Dawn Ryan, Portage, IN, June 12, 2004, 01:23:36am         I'm not sure how I came across this website, but I've been sitting here now for a while learning about this amazing young woman. Im typing thru tears at the moment. I wanted to let Jennifer's family know that I have added one of the banners to my website and I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. Jenny Shed, Somewhere, Out West, June 04, 2004, 04:54:41pm         I was one of the last people to see Jennifer alive. She was a great, beautiful and talented woman. I will never forget the horrifying day she was found and the agonizing months to follow. But, more than that, I will never forget Jennifer Servo's ambition and talent. Not a day goes by that I don't think about Servo. She has inspired me to stay in journalism, to work hard and to live every day like it's my last. Thank you for this beautiful website. We all miss her. Anne Herzog (Dobrocke), Twentynine Palms, CA, June 02, 2004, 11:53:10pm         I went to school with Jennifer and lived about a block down from her house in high school. I would like to express my sympathy for your families loss, and tell you a little about my feelings about Jenn. What struck me the most about Jennifer is how she always had a good thing to say about everyone, and how genuine and sweet she was. She never had an enemy. She was always happy. She was the kind of person who could turn a bad day around for you just by talking to you for a minute. Her just good-heartedness rubbed off on you. That is why I was utterly shocked when the news came on saying that she had been murdered. I couldn't believe that anyone who had ever talked to her could have not just been taken in by her carismatic smile and personality. I have two little boys of my own. I can't even imagine what it must be like for you. I think about her often. I pray for justice for Jennifer and relief from this tragedy for her family every day. God bless you. Dre, Mt. Sterling, Kentucky, May 30, 2004, 11:55:09pm         I'm sorry for your loss. May God be with all the family and friends of this beautiful young lady. Best of wishes for justice to be served. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Stephen M., Miami, Florida, May 29, 2004, 07:11:19pm         I just want to share my thoughts to Jennifer her family and friends. I know what its like to lost a family member. In 1997 my uncle Carl was murdered in his home. He was stabbed to death by a young, uncaring, cold hearted punk. I myself was a victim of a hit and run in 1999. It left me in a wheelchair for life and with constant low back pain, no transportation, debits resulting from the crime and the final insult the miami dade police closed the case a year later. Anyway I will put the family of Jennifer in my prayers and I know with God's help this creep who did this will be caught. Some advice for the detectives look at the military guy she was with, and profile the case on amw again. Someone knows something. God bless u Jenn, and you are in the loving arms of Jesus Christ now and forever his. Heather T., Fort Myers, Florida, May 18, 2004, 09:58:24am         I have been following this story since, i first saw on the AP wires about the death of a young Abilene reporter named Jennifer. The daughter of a close friend of my mother, Jenny Shed was working there at the time - and I thought it was her. Jenny was friends with Jennifer - I got in touch with her and found out what had happened. I cannot imagine how frustrating it is knowing the killer is walking free. I, too, am in broadcasting - and constantly report on heartbreaking crimes like Jennifer's. My thoughts are with you - God Bless You and stay strong! Jennifer seems like she was a wonderful ambitious person - Heather Sarah Wright, Abilene, TX, May 12, 2004, 02:42:03pm         Your family continues to be in our prayers. Amy, Rosenberg, TX, April 30, 2004, 03:15:41pm         I want to say that i am sorry for your loss. I found this site because i am a graduating senior majoring in forensics. i hope to gain the knowledge of being able to help solve cases and put minds at rests such as yours. my heart is with you and she is in a better place that is 10x better than our world. it is a world that can never be imagined and it is true. you gained a beautiful gaurdian angel.

Kari Sable, Olympia, Washington, April 17, 2004, 04:19:43am         Your tragedy is heart breaking and how frustrating to be left with so many questions with the grief. I have placed a text link and a banner to this site on: http://www.karisable.com/crunsolved.htm I will help you in what ever way I can. Kari Sable nita, Bartlesville, Oklahoma, April 15, 2004, 12:27:26pm         I read your story and looked at everything on this site. I wanted to let you know that you and your family ARE/WILL BE in our prayers. May God Bless You. Norm Olson, Columbia Falls, Montana, April 11, 2004, 09:51:22pm         I'd just like to say "thank you" to everyone who has shared their thoughts in the guest book so far. Jennifer's family and friends read and re-read the messages frequently. Your prayers and words of support bring comfort and strength to each of us. Mr. Binx is doing great, and is such a special companion. He finds a new way to make me laugh every day. I think he's getting coached by my little star in heaven. Donnell, balch springs, tx, April 11, 2004, 06:53:06pm         i saw amw and jennifer on there. she was a beautiful young lady she had her whole life ahead. now you have a gardian angel looking over you David, Yuba City, California, April 10, 2004, 05:23:32pm         I really hope there is some comfort knowing she now walks with the lord Jesus. Dennis Temby, Midland, Texas, April 01, 2004, 11:51:58am         Jennifer did a story about my daughter shortly before she was taken from her family and friends. My daughter had lost her child... a full term stillbirth... and was starting an organization to help families that lost their babies. Jennifer was the reporter assigned to do the story about this new organization. She was extraordinary. She took the story of a grieving young mother and handled it with compassion and professionalism. It broke my heart when I heard the news of her death. She was a beautiful and talented young woman. She touched my daughters life and she will never be forgotten. Emma, Portsmouth, England, March 17, 2004, 09:18:33am         I just wanted to type a message to say how much my heart goes out to all of Jenn's friends and family. The message from Jenn's sister is particularly touching. Jenn was a beautiful and intelligent young woman and it is so sad that she has been taken away from you in this way. I hope that the killer is brought to justice and never allowed to destroy another family like this. Prayers for the capture being sent from me in England. God bless you all. X Det. Jeff Bell, Abilene, Texas, March 11, 2004, 02:54:41pm         Diligence and faith will help us find justice. Nic La Rosa, Melbourne, Victoria (Australia), March 09, 2004, 04:18:10pm         As we came to know you and your family over time, your loss is our loss also and we grieve with you and pray that justice is done. We may be on the other side of the world, but our thoughts and love are with you as though you are all next door. Cerisa Forrest, Lubbock, Texas, March 03, 2004, 01:51:23am         I didn't personally know Jen, but I helped out at the other TV station..KTAB during the time that Jen was killed. I heard the news even before it was on the air. I was actually at the Abilene Court House when I got the phone call. I can't imagine how anyone could do that to such a bright beautiful young lady. I lost my brother who was 23 in March of 2003 who was in the military in Germany. The pain is very great. I watch CSI,FBI Files,AMW..all the time. I have faith in the Lord that her killer WILL be brought to Justice. My heart and prayers go out to your family. Hans Waldner, Hutterville@Stratfor, SD, February 24, 2004, 01:07:15pm         I am a father of four children. I love them dearly. I have them here in this wicked world, but your daughter is in heaven where we all seek to go. In many ways you are better blessed then me. I know your child means a lot to you, she means more to our heavenly father. He has ways we can not find out. Some day we will know and her killer will be in a missery all his life. Sorry about your loss. God be with you! Amanda, Moncton, New Brunswick, February 13, 2004, 10:22:41am         I am so sorry about your loss. I know it has been a over a year since Jennifer's death, but time will never ease the pain of losing such a beautiful, intelligent, determined young woman. Please take comfort in knowing you have much support from people all over the world, who will be breathing a little bit easier when the monster who took away such a treasure is finally caught. sheila, gideon, missouri, February 09, 2004, 05:51:56pm         As I sit here reading your story I cry for your loss. She was such a god send and to have someone take her from you is so horrible. I know how you feel, my nephew was killed. He didn't have as good as life as your daughter but he was a wonderful nephew who would give the shirt off his back to anyone. He loved his mom with all his heart and always let it show. As you have lived this same thing, you know there are crazy people out there, and you can't save your loved ones from them no matter how much you want to. You can't protect them every minute of the day and night. I'm so sorry for your loss and I'll never forget your daughter. You sure made a beautiful sight in her memory, she would be proud of you. Never let her memory die, if you do justice will never be served, and the creep will have won. Maybe he is reading your sight and he won't be able to live with what hes done. May his soul never have peace and he never sleep a nights sleep til he confesses. God be with you, sorry in missouri. jamie j., valparaiso, in, February 05, 2004, 09:36:04pm         im very sorry for your loss...she was a beautiful young woman.i hope they catch who did this to her. John Waldner, Stratford, SD, January 28, 2004, 01:44:24pm         I am writing to you because I am also concerned in the future killings. I know if her killer does not come to justice here on this world, God will punish him forever. I pray thy comfort. Thank you Debby, near Fresno, CA, January 21, 2004, 09:49:48pm         I am so very sorry for your loss. I saw your daughter's story on America's Most Wanted. I hope they find the creep who did this to your precious daughter. God bless you. My son was killed January 19, 1996 when he was pushed off a 100 ft radio tower in a brain injury facility in which he was living. We know who pushed him, and he was NEVER brought to justice. It stinks...just stinks. God bless you Jennifer, Alexandria, Louisiana, January 18, 2004, 05:53:38am         My heart bleeds for the grief stricken family members left behind in the fog and despair of shock, grief, gut-wrenching loss and void, and anger.... I know this pain,and am still struggling with the acceptance part of it all. It has been two years since I lost my only sibling, and best friend tragically and suddenly in the prime of his life, only months away from graduating with honors in advanced placement in social work at Tulane University... His name was Joseph, and he was a beautiful,and kind spirit, always laughing and willing to help anyone in need... My Joseph and your Jennifer are our guardian angels now, and their memories and sweetness will burn bright even on the darkest of days, because true grace and compassion budded on this earth remains... I pray for our cause as well, as we stand to lobby in Baton Rouge in February to pass "Joseph's Law ", which is our prayer, to receive closure, and protect other potential victims, we call our campaign " Justice for Joseph ", as his older and only sister, I still feel my sibling duty to protect him, as I always have ! I have to believe that good always conquers evil, even if I don't understand the logic behind our teagedy. I will forever miss Joe, and no holidays will ever be the same, my parents will never get over the loss of their only son, but day by day, and sometimes hour by hour, they are going through it. I hope your beautiful daughter has met Joseph, she sounds like a special and resilient woman with exceptional talent in all that she encountered... her beauty and spirit are timeless, priceless, and ageless,a true example of grace and compassion... I will keep abreast of this website, and pray for your cause, I hope you can reflect on the fun times and family times that will always unite us in thought and prayer with our loved ones.... May the grace of God continue to nourish your faith and lead your souls to peace and acceptance , and most importantly, JUSTICE FOR JENNIFER FOREVER........AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON HER O'LORD, AND REMAIN WITH HER ALWAYS. AMEN RESPECTFULLY YOURS- JENNIFER E. ` Elana, Montreal, Quebec, January 14, 2004, 06:32:54pm         I recently saw Jenn's story on AMW and I wanted to take the opertunity to send my condolencess, tho your loved passing was about 1 1/2 years ago. You have the memories that you did, that will last forever. Tho, it will never replace the 1 that you lost..my heart lies with you and your family. Debbie White, Krum, TX, January 13, 2004, 02:59:23pm         I read about Jennifer thru Rachel Cooke's website. I am so sad for her family and friends and for Jennifer - a beautiful and obviously very talented and intelligent young girl. I hope the wonderful memories you have of her will comfort you and give you strength. I will remember her and please just remember that someday justice will be served. Even if justice is never served in this life - it will someday be served and although we now look thru a dark glass, someday all will be seen and known. My thoughts are with you. My heart is broken for you. Sincerely, Debbie Christine, St Paul, MN, January 11, 2004, 11:35:37am         I am so upset and saddened to read about such a bright, young, beautiful and ambitious women to pass away on such a tragic note. I hope that her killer/killers get brought to justice. I just can't believe how people can be so cruel. I am saddened to hear the news and send my prayers and love in hopes that your family finds closure and justice. May God be with you always and with Jennifer, as well as the many others..Lacy Peterson, Rachel Cooke, Dru Sjodin..I may not know your family but I love the love you give for your daughter. R. Bryant, Seattle, Washington, January 11, 2004, 01:18:19am         Saw the story about Jennifer on America's Most Wanted. My 18 year old sister was raped and murdered in 1996. I feel for Jennifer and her family. I only wish her killer could be brought to justice, so her family could have some closure. Deborah Root, Parsippany, New Jersey, January 02, 2004, 08:37:15pm         What a beautiful girl and a tragic shame! My prayers are with you and hope the new year brings justice! Karen, Lynchburg, VA, January 01, 2004, 09:37:47am         I got Jennifer's webpage off of Rachel Cooke's website. I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss. Jennifer was a beautiful girl! I hope whoever did this is brought to justice very soon! Robert Cooke, Georgetown, Texas, December 31, 2003, 09:14:26pm         Norm, thank you for adding a link to my missing daughter Rachel Cooke's web site. I'm going to make a section on Rachel's links page for the murdered but not forgotten. I will add Jennifer, Laci Peterson, Molly Bish and many others who have been found but justice has not yet been done. To all of Jennifers friends and family, please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. The holiday seasons are really tough without our missing loved ones. Robert rachelcookesearch.org Josh Jaeger, Coeur d' Alene, ID, December 23, 2003, 06:18:38pm         Its nearly Christmas and for those of us who knew Jen the best, we all knew this was her favorite time of the year. Jen and I spent alot of time together while attending the University of Montana. We co-anchored the evening news on Montana Public Radio. We would finish up the newscast around six and then leave the studio together. December in Missoula is by no means tropical, the Hellgate wind cuts through even the warmest coat. I lived about three blocks off campus but why walk in the cold when Jen could give me a ride. So we'd hop in her little 3-cylinder sleigh and she would take me home. What I remember most about those rides in December was Jen always had Christmas music playing in her car. How many college kids do you know that listen to Christmas music? Jen's Sister Christa sent me some cds that Jen had put together and I just keep waiting to hear White Christmas or Jingle Bells. Thanks Christa that was a very nice gift to receive. I think Jen understood Christmas and the giving sprit that goes along with this holiday as well as anyone. We will all be thinking about you this Thursday Jen, wishing you were sitting around a tree in Northwest Montana sharing gifts with the people who loved you the most. Merry Christmas Swerevs, I cant tell you how much I miss you. RW, Blacksburg, Virginia, December 19, 2003, 06:18:06pm         I have been checking up on this case occasionally ever since I first read stories about Jennifer's murder a few days after it occurred. To the family - please accept my sincere sympathies for the loss you experienced. She sounds like she was a hard working young lady who was going places. I think it's good at least you've been able to narrow down the likelihood of this crime being a result of a domestic dispute rather than the work of a stranger. That narrows the investigation down considerably. Let's hope that the killer is brought to justice soon!! Christa Slaten, Springfield, Oregon, December 15, 2003, 12:44:02am         As Jen's sister my whole world changed the instant I heard those dreaded words from Mom. "Christa, it's Jen, she's dead." I felt like I had been punched in the stomach. "What happened?!" I sobbed. The news that followed was too hard to take. We're on our way to Montana, I told Mom. We would leave in the morning. I couldn't imagine trying to sleep that night. I had no idea how I would pull it together enough to take care of 2 month old Mallory, when she would surely wake up for her 2:00am feeding. I stayed up all night looking through old pictures, gathering them together because that's all I could do. I found old Christmas cards that Jen had given to me when she was in elementary school. I'm so glad I saved everything. I was up all night finding everything I could that connected me to Jen. After hours, I guess, I looked up and the clock said 5:00am. "That can't be right" I remember thinking. Mallory didn't wake up. She slept through the night for the very first time. I know in my heart her Aunt Jen rocked her to sleep that night. Mallory has a very special guardian angel. From that night forward, Mallory slept through the night every night. I miss Jen so much. Every day there is something new that reminds me of her. She has been intwined in my life since before she was born. My family tells me stories of when Jen was on the way, I would go to the top of the stairs and yell down "Is my baby sister here yet?" I was like a second mother to Jen, as older sisters sometimes are. I think it was a good thing and a bad thing for Jen, depending on the situation. I was always telling her what to do and I know she thought I was a know-it-all, on the other hand she knew that no matter what the situation was, I would look out for her, and we would always be together because we were sisters. Those are the relationships that we take for granted. They say "blood is thicker than water" for a reason. We know our family will always be there for us and therefor we become too comfortable in those relationships at times. I know that now. I was unhappy when Jen decided to move down to Abilene with her "friend." I didn't have a good feeling about her moving in with someone she didn't know well enough. I told her how I felt of course, and she said "Christa, why are you making such a big deal about this?" I said, "because you're my sister, and I love you, and I don't want to get a call saying some psycho has hurt you." She paused and said "Well, when this doesn't work out you can tell me you told me so." I didn't want to be right this time. I have a feeling, as do many others, that we know who did this to my sister. I hope the person who did this reads these words from Jen's friends and family and decides it's time to confess and allow the rest of us to gain some sense of closure. It won't bring my sister back, it won't bring Mallory's Aunt back, but it will give us peace in knowing that this will not happen to someone else's family by this person's hands. On a happier note, Jen would be glad to know, that even though Mallory never got to meet her Aunt Jen in person, she knows who she is. She proves that to me all the time when she picks Jen out in a picture and leans in and kisses her. She points to Jen and I say "that's your Aunt Jen." There is a pause, and Mallory says "bye bye." I know she knows, and don't worry Jen, you are definitely her most favorite Auntie. Sherry Servo Abel, Kalispell, Montana, December 12, 2003, 10:28:56am         from Jen's mother, Sherry. Norm you did a beautiful job on this website for our daughter. Jen was so fortunate to have so many friends, they have helped me through a time I never thought I would be able to survive. We are fortunate to have everyone's love and prayers. It was nice reading all the notes from her friends, and the people who lived in her apartment, some of whom I met while I helped move her to Texas. When I left her there to start her new job, I knew she would be happy there. The people were so nice, fun, friendly, and all around her age. Jen's life was moving ahead---she had a good job she loved, her own apartment (with a dishwasher, cable TV, and a heated swimming pool!), everything she always wanted. Her life and goals were taken from her, and from her family and friends by someone whom I pray is struggling with so much guilt that he will confess soon so we can put some closure on this. He can not take away our fun memories of Jen, she touched more lives than we will ever know. She really turned into an incredible young woman. S M, Anchorage, AK, December 11, 2003, 01:19:41pm         Words cannot express the loss that Jennifer's family is feeling. However, Jennifer will always be loved by friends and family and her spirit will live on forever. I only knew Jen for a short time before she died. I met her the first week she moved to Abilene. My friend and I were sitting by the pool when she came over to lay out. Her pool key wouldn't work so I let her in. She was laying off to the side by herself so we invited her to come join us. She was so excited to start her new job. "Tomorrow is my first day", she said. She was so cheerful, so eager. We exchanged apartment numbers and went our seperate ways that day. From there it turned into the occasional "hi" as you see each other outside. She parked her car right in front of my apartment so I saw her leave quite often. I saw her leave that last weekend in jeans and a white tank top. "Going out tonight?" I asked her, "Nope just getting out for a little while, run some errands" she responded. Little did I know that would be the last time we would talk. Jennifer seemed like a wonderful person, I just wish I could have known her longer. It is terrible that they have not caught the person who has done this terrible thing. I told the police everything I knew, I hope all of you will as well. Molly Tingley (Kolodejchuk), Missoula, MT, November 30, 2003, 09:32:18pm         Jen was my first friend. We played Barbies, swam at the pool and rode bikes in the summer. Born exactly three months apart, neighbors in Columbia Falls and then again in Missoula, we always remained connected even though we took different paths. I received an email from her the last night she was seen alive. After I read it, I was happy inside because I knew that we would be friends for life. The distance between us could not erase the foundation of our friendship. When I received the news of her death a few days later, I could not believe it because we were going to be friends for life, right? We still will be friends and I know when we see each other in heaven it will be such a joyous reunion. I sure miss her. Thanks Norm for this site. Dara Freimann, Spokane, WA, November 26, 2003, 11:00:05pm         Jenn was more than just a friend she was somebody that I knew I would be friends with for life. Jenn was our "darling." Always the first to gather up the girls for a good time, always the first on the dance floor (and the last to leave) always the one to be dressed to perfection, always the one you could call at anytime of the night. I still catch myself wanting to call her with big news, to see what other Catalog purchases she has made and to just chat for hours on end about life. No one, especially someone like Jenn deserved to go this way. I feel robbed. Even though you are gone Jenn I will never stop thinking of you and praying that God brings Justice. I know you are watching over us and I know you will be mine friend for life (just in a different way than I planned). I love you so much... the memories and the way you touched me will last a lifetime. I will never stop wondering why you were taken... but know I can't wait to see you again "dahhling". I know the sun will be shining, please have a gin and tonic ready for me. Bill Young, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, November 25, 2003, 09:27:31pm         Since hearing of this tragedy last year I have often thought of Jennifer as I pursue my own broadcasting career. From Septmeber of 2002 until now I have gone from being just another college students with hopes of becoming a tv reporter, to landing my first job, in a top 50 market! I guess I like to think that Jennifer's spirit lives on through people like myself, and I want to try my hardest to make her proud! Janet Potter Leland, Kalispell, MT, November 25, 2003, 08:25:06pm         Norm, What a beautiful tribute to your beautiful daughter. Your parents and my parents knew each other before we were even born. Our mothers are still close friends. There is a picture of you, my brother, your brother and me taken when we were all little still posted on my parents refrigerator. Tragedy like this shouldn not happen at least not to people we know and love. Somewhere someone knows something and my prayer is that they will come forward and there will be justice for Jennifer. I would love to hear Jennifer's song that you wrote for her on this site. Again, what a beautiful tribute and you are a wonderful father. You are in my prayers. Art and Cindie Apsey, Columbia Falls, Mt, November 21, 2003, 10:01:24pm         Norm I want you to know our prayers go out to and your family. Our youngest daughter attended Cfalls High school and when she got married and moved back east I was really afraid to let her go, but if we love them we do let them go to live there own life no matter what happens. We pray that this animal that took Jenn from you will be found and brought to justice.This web site is a beautiful. T B, Abilene, TX, November 21, 2003, 07:12:41pm         I hope the individual responsible is brought to justice soon. My wife and I took care of Mr. Bynx for a short period after Jennifer's death. I hope hes doing great! I have added your banner to www.abilenebusiness.com in hopes of maybe catching one more eye. With deep sympathy, TB. Betty Personett, Columbia Falls, Montana, November 18, 2003, 11:15:16pm         Norm; My parents were good friends of your parents Inga and Dewey. I now visit your mother nearly every day at ILH and we share our thoughts. What at beautiful web site this is in memory of your lovely daughter Jenn. I watched her on tv and thought she was wonderful. Please know that my prayers are with you and your family. Mary Armstrong, Columbia Falls, MT, November 18, 2003, 08:45:21pm         Read in the Inter Lake today that you have this web site. We knew Jennifer when she attended Our Saviours Lutheran Church and was in the youth group with our grandsons. I also know your mother, Norm, and knew your father. I was their insurance agent for many years, in fact was working when you got your drivers license and we added you on your parents insurance. Our hearts go out to all your family. By the way, was there some talk a while back about her library card having been used after her death? What happened to that investigation. You are in our thoughts and prayers. ENS Jon Schermerhorn, USN, Pensacola, Fl, November 18, 2003, 08:04:05pm         What can I say about Jen. I knew her well, as our families are very close. At the time I found out she had passed, my world stopped in its tracks and even might have started spinning backwards. She was a beautiful ray of sunshine in our dismal world. I have no doubt that she would have been widly successful at what she was doing. I only hope that the person responsible for this heinous act is caught and our world can experience a little justice for a change. Until then, I force the happiest memories of Jen to the front of my mind and soldier on, as we all should. I know we will all see her again. Jennifer Atkinson, Mesa, Az, November 18, 2003, 03:32:02pm         Although I did not know Jen well, the shock of -the news- was devastating for me. I knew who Jen was all through highschool and got to know Jen better while working along side her at Gary&Leos IGA. I just want all other friends and family to be aware, that I am just one more person out there who recognized the driven and passionate person that Jen always proved to be! My thoughts and prayers are with all of you who are suffering. This horrible person will be caught, and justice will be served! GOD BLESS!!!!! tina incalcaterra, mary esther, fl, November 15, 2003, 10:50:33am         trevor (who posted just before i did) and i lived downstairs from jennifer. though i did not get to know her as well as i wanted to, the news of her death hit me hard. i remember going outside to take out the trash, and seeing a lot of policemen and reporters outside. my first thought was -not another murder- (jennifers was the second in a three month period...both jennifer and the previous murder victim lived in the same building as i, though the murders are unrelated). i asked a passerby what happened. all they said was a woman had been found. it took three times asking a reporter if it was jennifer. it is been over a year now, and i still get just as angry as i did then. all i remember of her is how much she glowed, and what a wonderful person she was. we would chat from time to time, and i remember we would laugh at the fact that we never seemed to be free at the same time to be able to hang out. i wish i had made the time. jennifer, i hope you are at peace. i am so sorry we never got to be friends. i cannot rest easy until whoever did this to you is brought to justice. to your family, God be with you. Ed W., Santa Barbara, CA., November 15, 2003, 07:29:36am         Jennifer's father Norm has been a good friend of mine for over 35 years and to hear the news of her murder was painfully shocking and oh so sad! I know that somebody out there knows something and will assist in bringing this murderer to justice! Trevor, Mary Esther, Florida, November 15, 2003, 04:49:31am         I lived down stairs from Jennifer when she moved to Abilene. I remember the day she moved in, her mom helping her move. Later that night we were all swimming in the pool, laghing and carrying on, I knew we had a great new neighbor. She was always cheerful and friendly. Why would someone do this?? Hope that person is brought to justice soon! Even though we only knew her a short time, we will miss her alot. Kim, Abilene, Texas, November 14, 2003, 09:53:17am         I have stayed informed of the case since the evening it broke, and feel as if I knew Jen personally. It was so very obvious of her wonderfully unique characteristics as my husband and I watched her come into our home through the media of television. In a sense I felt a kindship of spirit. Our prayer is that God will grant your family strength, wisdom and peace that WILL surpass all understanding through this time and always. He is the God of life and will comfort his children. God bless your family and may this website be a help in finding the responsible person as well as a loving, beautiful tribute to a lovely young lady. elle savage cole, chinook, mt, November 14, 2003, 09:29:54am         if there were anything i could do to help, to sooth, to calm the pain.......i will always try to be your friend, norm. and you and jen will always ALWAYS be in my prayer...and WHERE is the song? i would love to see/ hear that on this site...may love & god be with you..... Nichole, Abilene, Texas, November 13, 2003, 10:36:27am         I am so touched by the beautiful memories you have of Jennifer . I watched her report the news on KRBC, and she is greatly missed . I hope the person who commited this senseless crime is brought to justice soon . I lost my mother to cancer 7 years ago and , the loss is still felt to this day . I cannot imagine the pain your family is going thru and I am so sorry for your loss . My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and I pray that the person responsible is brought to justice soon . Norm Olson, Columbia Falls, Montana, November 12, 2003, 04:44:09am         Thank you for visiting the Justice for Jennifer web site, and for the kind thoughts and wishes, very much appreciated. Bringing the killer to justice would help family and friends find some closure. I know we will be with Jennifer again some day.
