From an ex:

I caught up with her at Common Grounds a few weeks before the incident. Her parents called me the day it happened (good thing too, I would’ve freaked if I’d read it in the paper). I must say this event caused me more pain than it should have. I couldn’t go to work the next day…my friends tried to console me…nothing helped.

She was glad to have always had reasonable ex-boyfriends. Except this time; she mentioned his weird behavior and complained about having ‘pyscho’ ex-boyfriend…if only she had *really* meant it and been more wary…

I am hoping that the parents of Katie will get in touch with me when they are able. I am forming a group of parents whose children were victims of violent crime while enrolled in college. I have worked with Security on Campus, http://www.securityoncampus.org and others for the past two years since my daughter was attacked while enrolled at Indiana University. If anyone knows them and thinks they might be ready to hear more about what we are doing please pass this message along to them with my email; help@campusrape.org.

I am so sorry that this happened to Katie. I had several photography classes and a figure drawing class with her, we would always sit by one another. She was a great artist!!!! She did some amazing photographs. When she was working in the Fine Arts Library, I would always make it a point to speak to her, or compare schedules, she was so sweet. She was an amazing person. If anyone knows when her funeral is scheduled for please let me know.

I am still shocked that he did this to her. I had a couple of classes with him, I never suspected that he would do something like this but I didn’t really know him that well.

I truly send my condolences to her family and friends.

I knew Katie when she was a mousey, freckled kid in grade school, and have always regarded her as my little sister. I watched as she grew and blossomed into a beautiful young lady, who had intelligence that matched her witty smile. She was an insperation to many, and brought joy to all around her.
Katie you will be missed, but never forgotten.

This is the worst news I have heard in a really long time. I also knew Zach. I went to high school and graduated with him. He was weird, but not murderer weird. At least I didn’t think so. I saw him for the first time in several years just three weeks ago. He didn’t seem like a crazed maniac. I did not know the young girl that died, but it sounds like she definately would have been a really cool girl to get to kick it with.

I cannot describe my sympathies for her friends and family.

Yeah. To say I’m confused and bewildered would be an understatement. I just don’t understand how someone could do something like that to anyone else.

Very sad.

I only met her a few times. My sincerest sympathies for everyone who was touched by her.

I worked with Katie at Hastings and though I didn’t know her for very long – just a few months – she was such a superstar, funny and smart with great style. I loved hanging out with her and wish I could have gotten to know her better. My condolences to you and all the rest of the many, many folks who loved her.
