and it was the outcome everyone was dreading. She was found in a field about three miles west of Crookston, MN.

My heart is absolutely broken for her family. I don't know what has made me so involved in this story - maybe its the fact that the University of North Dakota is two hours from where I grew up. She could've been anyone. A beautiful young smart girl whose live was cut terribly short by a convicted felon.

I'm glad they found her for her families sake - it's time they got some closure...I guess I was just hoping and praying that it would be a great ending like the Elizabeth Smart case.

Rest in Peace Dru, know that many people cared about you, looked for you and NEVER EVER gave up hope that you would be found alive and well.
