Oh wow. When I saw this thread bumped, a bunch of forgotten memories came back...I was in elementary school in Vermont when Brooke was murdered, and I remembered hearing about it in school. On the heels of Brooke's murder, in the fall when school was back in session, us kids had some sort of safety meeting about being safe, how to report sexual abuse, etc. and Brooke was briefly mentioned. I had forgotten. RIP Brooke.
