Friends make emotional return to Eagle Creek Trail | Forensic Files

[Music] You doing okay? Mhm. I've been anxious to come here to maybe just feel the emotions that
we're feeling today. I do believe it's important process for healing for us. Even just
bringing the flowers here and being here is important. Um but it's also scary. It's emotional
and overwhelming and it's been hard to face those emotions and it's been six years
and rehatching those emotions has been has been hard. Good lord. And I think it kind of
came at the right time to be able to see where she was last alive and be able to say goodbye
and let her know that we're still here. And feel her presence maybe. I don't know. when you just wonder like what
she's screamed or said or there's just so many things, so many thoughts and emotions that
you wonder and think about what happened that day. That's from your mom, Rhonda. I want to feel like as we're
here today, she knows we're here for her. This is from us. I feel sad, but I also feel a very
strong sense of peace, which I wasn't expecting. I've been anxious and I'm feeling peaceful.
And I know she would be happy that we came up here.
