This is the part relevant to Lori's case:

“You get tired of losing everything. You have to detach. I have gotten used to losing so much stuff I have to tell myself not to hold onto anything anymore,” said Lori Lupercio told the Gazette in June at the encampment a week prior to the sweep described above.
She was gone by the sweep but a few days later at a gathering Downtown she told the Gazette she had been unable to get housing and was scared. A 50-year-old mother of six, she became homeless after not being able to keep up with her rent and was trying to escape domestic violence.
On August 1, Lupercio’s body was found near the South Platte River. Her boyfriend was later arrested and charged with first degree murder.

Rest in peace Lori
