Yes, especially since the family had been asking for a search for awhile now.

Lets hope and pray that human remains found this morning January 20, 2022 at 9:20 by a searcher are not Katelynn Berry. In the mean time lets continue to keep the family in our hearts and minds. I am deeply saddened as a mother, and a human….

This is just so tragic of an outcome! No matter the reason her young life is over. I simply cannot imagine.

1100 ft northeast. That is 5 minutes at max to walk. That is incredible no one found her sooner unless she had been under the snow. This poor family…

The Chief of Police of Sidney just gave a PC. She was found at 9:20 this morning. He's not giving out anymore information or taking questions.

ETA: The volunteers met at 8am this morning, signed in, had a briefing ,and then were taken by bus to the location. I'm stunned at how fast they found her.

This is so sad but to be expected. But since they did a grid search in the area, I’m assuming they had reason to believe that’s where her body was and the fact that they didn’t want family and friends to help.

Someone helping to co-ordinate the search said this morning before the searchers went out that they were starting the search at her apartment and working out.

That makes sense, thanks for sharing.

I’m devastated to hear this. So very sorry for her parents and the rest of her family. I feel their pain.

Glad that they found her, and that the family has closure. Surprised she was found so quickly and close to her home. Hadn't there been any searches prior to this?

Inclement weather had prevented authorities from thoroughly searching the area initially.

“The authorities did not want people out with ice and snow-covered terrain cause somebody could easily get hurt,” Berryman said.

I will close it out with this, the parents loved their daughter as we have all witnessed. They desperately wanted to find their daughter. They knew their daughter sometimes did her own thing, so despite this time feeling different and trying to find her they reached out for help. I know this was a hard decision for them to make. They did the right thing. The Police Departments in this country take an oath to protect and serve. They are funded by taxpayer money and they are here to protect and serve us all. Everyone was willing to do whatever it took to help them Bring Katelynn Home, and they succeeded in that mission. This is not the conclusion anyone wanted but it is the end result for this family. They will be forever grateful, and forever changed. They did not ask to be thrown into the spotlight and answered every question thrown at them. They were willing to speak publicly about personal things that are not always easy to say out loud. While they have closure there are still answers, the healing has not even begun and they will continue to suffer from this devastation. I pray that having their daughter back brings them comfort. I shout loudly to those who volunteered their time to make it happen. It took an entire village of people to accomplish this and i hope they pat themselves on the back for stepping up for this family. We have all been touched by her disappearance and it has made us all take a moment to think about how we would handle this. A beautiful young life is over, a family is in grief, and the rest of us are just truly sad! Now is a time for reflection for the rest of us. If mental health played into this outcome i hope they speak out, i hope they write a book, i hope they make it their cause. Mental Health issues are on the rise and we all need to have empathy and compassion for those who deal with this issue and suffer in silence. At the right time, if indeed this this is what led to this tragedy, they could honor Katelynn by speaking to those who might also be affected and living silently as a loved one suffers. Being the parent to a young adult is not always easy, their freedom and what is available at a moments notice has kept many parents up nights. So glad Katelynn was brought home!
