The Hardest Thing To Do

In fact, Mr. Wallen even said, “He [Tyler] is a monster and he is a liar and it was absolutely the hardest thing that my wife could do, would be to sit there next to him and hold his hand and she had to hold his hand with two hands because she was shaking so badly.” He even continued, “We were pretty sure it was Tyler but we didn’t know where she was and you can’t put somebody away on a missing person. Someone doesn’t go to prison for life on a missing person and it defies description the awfulness and the horror that we have been put through during this.”

Holding A Vigil In Laura’s Honor

More than a hundred students, staff members, parents and others held a vigil outside of the middle school in honor of Laura. Many held candles, while others had boards that read, “We love you, Ms. Wallen” painted on them. Others also had photos, messages and heart cutouts to show support and love for the lovely, young teacher who lost her life too early.
