Subject:      Kristen Laurite was What's that? - a single woman's view on
              camping and safety (you asked...)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes


Her name is Kristen Laurite.


She was driving a '71 Bay Window, not a Vanagon.


She was murdered in an Arkansas rest area by Ronald James Ward Jr on
August 25, 2000.


She was 25 years old and traveling to California for a new job.


IIRC, She had spent the previous night in a listmember's driveway.
Hence, this was very close to our hearts.


Her website is: http://www.kristinlaurite.org/


Full story here (fee per article, but the synopsis tell the story):

You might also search both the type2.com and vanagon archives for our
collective reaction at the time.


Her killer will die of old age in a Montana prison.


Just keeping the facts straight.


Rest in peace Kristen.
