This story about the recent murder of Rachel Hansen really touched me. I have a 20 year-old daughter who is passionate about horses like Rachel. Please help find justice for this beautiful girl.

It has now been a year since 19 y/o Rachel Hansen was murdered in her own apartment. Just 2 days after moving into her new home an unknown intruder kicked in her door and shot her. She was able to call 911, but she tragically died.

No one seems to know who - or why - someone would kill this beautiful girl who loved her family - and horses.

Please watch this video of her mother sharing Rachel’s spirit and help those who love her find Justice for Rachel.

OMG! Thank you so much for sharing this. I learned so much more about Rachel. I have my own “Rachel” a through-and-through horse girl 8 months older than Rachel. That is what initially drew me to this heart-breaking murder. I wish that I could let Rachel’s Mom & loved ones know my heart is with them and Rachel captured a place in my soul. She will continue to live through other horse girls - including my daughter.

Events in her life right around the time she is killed:
1) moves (back?) into an apartment in San Tan
2) her pregnant mare is stolen (was it ever found?)
3) she gets engaged

No evidence SA took place (unless this is something that the police are keeping very quiet). Shot once. Deadly shot.

Sounds to me like an obsessed ex-boyfriend.

2nd night in the new apartment, is it possible mistaken identity, perp was looking for previous tenant? And Rachel called in the shooting herself? that is what I take from this article. Reward offered for information on 2022 Gilbert homicide case

Just a thought, could this be connected to the Gilbert Goons?

AZ - Gilbert resident Preston Lord, 16, murdered by "Gilbert Goons"

The "Gilbert Goons" are the name a group of white kids from wealthy, connected families gave to themselves. These kids have assaulted other people, committed thefts and SA, etc. and their parents have simply paid off (or possibly threatened) law enforcement and the like. I had not heard...

I guess anything is possible, though they are more a group beating the crud out of people in public places.

That is what my take is also. She said on the 911 call that she didn’t know the person. Since she just moved there, I hope they looked closely at the previous tenants enemies.

If I could send this to Rachel in Heaven, I would tell her that horse girls are a special breed - especially the ones who work for/with their 4-hooved babies. Your spirit will live on through all the horse girls that don’t mind working for their horses, their passion. Keep with us girl, and help us bring your killer into the light so you and your family can get “justice” - whatever that may be when a precious life is gone too soon. Equally as important, this person needs to be identified/prosecuted so they can’t hurt anyone else.

I can't help but to think that the stolen horse was definitely connected. There can be some real jealousy in the horse world
