Kaitlin Update

Category: Special Blogs | Posted: Sat Feb 10, 2007 2:30 pm

Kaitlin's funeral was yesterday. I did not attend. The community really came out and supported her mom. We were at the services the night before. The news reported over 1600 people attended. There was over 1000 at the services yesterday.

Please continue to pray for her Mom, family and friends. Now the realization will set in.

State law required that bond be set for Mark Lewis. The judge set it at $500,000. Lewis' lawyer said that Lewis does not think he will be in danger if he is let out of jail. A high school senior who attended the hearing summed it up, "Tensions are running high in French Settlement right now, if he gets out he ain't gonna make it."

Some of the evidence has been sent to a private lab for testing. State police lab is so backed up even with a priority it will take them 3 weeks to get the evidence tested. The private lab should have something back the beginning of next week. I will keep y'all posted through blog entries.

Thanks for keeping us up to date, Sharon. We get nothing about it here in New Orleans. With a murder or so every day, New Orleanians are inured to killings now. The news gets in the way of Carnival celebrataions and parades.
We shall continue to send our thoughts to Kaitlyn's family.

My thoughts are with Kaitlyn's family and I hope that they will soon see the killer put away for a very, very long time.

for a long time.Maybe they can move on a little bit.Their life will never be the same.To keep their sanity they will have to move on with some kind of life as hard as that sounds.
