"GRESHAM, Ore. — Family and friends held a memorial Sunday for Haley Lorenzen, the Gresham woman who was murdered after she met a man online and moved across the country for love.
Her family waited seven excruciating months for answers as law enforcement in Pennsylvania searched for her body.
Sunday, family finally got to hold a celebration of life for her in Troutdale. ...
Each day, her family gets a little more closure. But, her story is not finished yet.
"It’s in steps, you know, there’s been closure, in the beginning when we found out, when we found her, this is another step, it’s like a book that we’re just trying to finish and the door’s going to close eventually and it will be closed, but it’s still an open book, but we have some step by step closure," Dominguez said.
The next step is the
Nov. 17 trial for Phillip Walters who is now charged with her murder. Her family plans to travel to Pennsylvania for the trial.
However, Sunday was about Lorenzen and the memories she made with family, her beautiful smile, and her love for snowflakes...."
