A Candlelight Vigil for the Two Young Girls Tragically Killed in a Hit and Run Accident

As a community grieves for two young girls dead too soon (see earlier stories linked below), for some a ritual of gathering together and sharing light helps ease the pain.

That is exactly what i was thinking. I would be in prison Already not having my attorney “negotiate” with the police. Ridiculous! Whoever hit/murdered those 2 little girls needs to be arrested. This is B.S.

Agreed, the world is out of control.

The reality is american gubbamint at all levels is a co-sponsor in the degredation of society and majority voters at all levels keep in power those gubbamint people who otherwise promote and protect the hate, and part of promoting and protecting that hatred is appointing private sector individuals to boards, commissions, survey teams, data collectors, doctors, lawyers, other professionals in business, etc… who collude with insiders and certain strategically aligned citizens who are neighbors to the victim who is being set up for a fall which only enables the hatred and fraud through the american injustice system and the american apolitical system that much more, and it happens in EVERY COMMUNITY.

Too many Americans are being mentally brain tortured, abused.

The thing that really sucks is these two girls could have been a savior for us all, but now we will never know because life is not fair when humans play both sides of the fence as people do in important positions of society, like an attorney or gubbamint official/employee, or even a parent or family member.

Children typically need to be loved, cherished and appreciated in the life their parents created. It is sickening that two lives were lost in this manner on ERD, but it was no accident.

If only those two young girls could give their details…………..HOJ cried again over the truck in Nice, France. All this evil, local, state, nationally, globally has HOJ crying a river for victims of life’s abuses and hurt.

Rest In Peace seems so inadequate, not enough, etc… for this moment. Something more…..how about a community funded plaque to memorialize and remember these two young girls……..if WW2 VETS get a community funded plaque/sculpture/kiosk at the airport in McKinleyville, then so to can these two girls.

We see signs everywhere, everyday, for PROFIT…….HOW ABOUT SIGNS FOR LIFE?

HOJ will gladly donate, and would like to work with Kym Kemp to do it, a sign of unity, forgiveness, hope, coming together for a common cause. At this point, blame is inconsequential, as we all know the effect of this tragedy.

Thank Kym for keeping us all informed. The message I have been getting from Kym is we all need to be more active in our neighborhoods. If you see something say some thing. If you can do something do it. We all in our daily walks need to engage in conversation with the kids and neighbors just be more aware of surroundings. This is such a tragedy some good has got to come from it.
River of tears.

May be inconsequential BUT -Our so called president !!!! is the initial perpetrator of this race bigotry hatred & he is accomplishing just what he set out to do & mixes words so u don’t even know what he is saying. He has turned us against each other, caused fighting between blacks & whites we have not had for many years. now against the police no matter what color! Color has nothing to do with it he has instilled this in minds then acts on it himself with his own disrespect of everything American! It is so obvious !!!! why does he keep getting away with this, he has committed TREASON in so many ways!!! He has to be stopped!!

Whoever did this better be going to prison for 2 consecutive life sentences, I also don’t want to hear about some bullshit charges.
We will see how the DA handles this, he better not plan on pissing the general public off!
Let’s get the rest of the information on the perp as well, chop chop.

The DA is a Woman. That means you don’t have a clue when it comes to our community. STFU and quit commenting about what who and why. She will do what is right for the crime that still has no charges against anyone.

I read a comment somewhere that CNN and other national news were going to pick up the story. But that very well could have been rumors. Maybe someone should notify them. Maybe notify Nancy Grace.

Is it empowering to do so? Do you think the girls would have wanted this to be posted worldwide? You say “in honor of the girls” is that really honoring them or is that for your own amusement. Your a twisted person if so. If you truthfully cared you would’nt do that, you would let it be and let it unravel itself.

She will probably turn herself in this weekend. Takes 3 days to get drugs out of the body. I don’t understand why the CHP has not requested a blood sample. Very suspicious.

I drove by at 6:00 AM this morning (Friday), and there were at least three people that appeared to be teenage girls (hard to tell, since it was still half dark) that were tending to the candles. I’ve dealt with a lot of tragedy in my life and have become pretty hardened, but that brought a tear to my eyes. Thank you candle-tenders, we need all the light we can get around here right now.

There will be an arrest next week, mark my words!!!! I know EVERYBODY is on pins and needles waiting for this to happen. But when there is a case so sensitive as this believe me they (CHP) want to be sure nothing is missing in their report and that everything has been gone through with a fine tooth comb before they “stick it to her”. Being sure that everything is done right now, will make all the difference when prosecuting this case.

Oh, THAT’S why they’re not arresting her. They must just be lying about not knowing where she is. Heaven knows cops can’t just arrest people on reasonable suspicion of a crime.

It very well could be the reason they are waiting. How horrible would it be to rush into an arrest and prosecution but make a mistake that allowed a guilty person to walk. What if they arrested the wrong person and then figure it out later, then make a second arrest? A jury might look at that thinking the DA is incompetent and find the defendant not guilty. It’s best to not rush into anything, especially since the suspect already had a lawyer and certainly isn’t going to take part in an interrogation.

If there were drugs or alcohol involved, this should make national news. People need to wake up and see the consequences of driving under the influence. It’s not just about getting a dui charge or jail time, but more so that you can destroy many families in the process and prevent two teenagers from having a bright future.

Questions:
1 If indeed the person who killed the two girls, “thought that they ran over a deer” and made it home drunk: Did they or did someone else in their home proceed with the coverup?
2 How if she was Drunk did the helicopter’s crew allow her to board the aircraft?
3 I assume that their counsel has advised them not to turn on their “smart phones” let alone communicate with anyone via their “smart phones”: Question if they have their phones on can they be tracked?
4 and after all of this: Couldn’t she/he go on a “justified” bender and completely change any or all existing or original evidence?

I was arrested in Fortuna and charged with attempted murder with intent to do bodily harm for kicking my ex husband with my bare foot,in my living room…taken to jail for five days and my ex got my daughter……corruption is so bad in this county,I’m afraid to even talk to a cop can’t trust any of them judge and ex lawyer Banducci was the biggest corrupted fuck in town at the time but they are everywhere…if both driver and passenger are not arrested one for the act and one for covering it up…then all hell I’is going to come to our little town….I cannot believe they have not been arrested Fortuna police,chp my father would be ashamed to be a sheriff and ashamed of all of you for turning the cheek to this one….after 40 years of dedicated service to this county and seeing how blazingly corrupt our force is ,if he weren’t rolling over in his grave before ,he is now! ARREST THEM FOR THE CHILDRENS SAKE or none OF US WILL RESPECT ANY ONE OF YOU FOOLS!

Is FPD or CHP accepting clues? It was Marci Kitchen, with the Jeep Wrangler in the Eel River Drive room. If you don’t believe me, ask her lawyer.

For the family of the visiting friend whom was also hit and killed in this HIT AND RUN……THEY DESERVE TO KNOW WHAT THE HE** HAPPENED TO THEIR DAUGHTER!!!!!!!!!! I realize the CHP is holding off on naming the accused and giving details but this needs to be expedited for their sake. No the two young ladies were not related as many of you have stated, thus making things more difficult for the other innocent family to know what really happened to their precious angel. I also realize the CHP is conducting a very thorough investigation as to not have any issues when prosecuting this case but there is also a since of urgency here as well.

Let us remember that there was two girls. Here are a couple links for Faith. She seems to have been over looked do to WHO Marci is. From what I can put together, Faith was up here visiting while her mom was on her honeymoon. She was going into High school next year and was looking forward to her future. A future that was tragically torn from her and her loved ones. She was an adorable young girl, and from her photo, she had a cute contagious smile. This photo I found on Google, so I hope it comes in clear.

My heart goes out to your family for their lost, pain, and suffering. I can not even try to empathize, because I can not imagine that level of pain, even though I try! I hope you can rest in peace young one. Your passing so soon is a tragedy beyond compare.
