- Lisa Hickey I don’t know either person but I’m happy they caught her killer. So many going missing and never found. Hopefully some closure for her family. Both their Facebook accounts are open. The victim has a picture of the two of them from 2012 on fb. That’s so so so sad and heart breaking. Great work DRPS!
May he rot and never be forgiven. - Mary Lou Kelly Good police work..I hope this brings some closure to her family
