By donchais on | From callsforjustice.wordpress.com
Saturday, the Christian and Newsom families held private memorials at the gravesites of their beloved children.  Five years have passed since the horrific and brutal events led to the ultimate deaths of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom, yet justice for the victims and their families still seems as elusive as it did in January 2007.

Something about those beautiful young adults, who were so full of life and had such bright futures ahead of them, touched my heart, profoundly.
