In our sorrow…
Help Find Linnea

Wonderful volunteers. We are grieved to report that we have just received confirmation that our search for Linnea has ended in sorrow. She has gone to be with her Lord. Yet in our sorrow we do not despair, knowing we will see her again one day. Arrangements for a Celebration of Life service are being made and details will follow. More information will be released as her family deems appropriate. In the meantime, please allow them privacy as they mourn, and please continue to hold them up in prayer. “13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. 14 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep...18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.” 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 English Standard Version (ESV)

Linnea Lomax Hanged Herself, Her Father Says
September 11, 2012 11:02 AM

PLACERVILLE (CBS13) – Linnea Lomax, the UC Davis student found dead last week near the American River, hanged herself, her father said during a press conference on Monday.
 
Linnea’s badly decomposed body was discovered on Friday morning by her mother in dense brush behind a home on Sandburg Way in the Campus Commons area.
 
Linnea’s mother spoke at the press conference describing how she found her daughter’s body.
 
“I crawled through on my knees and hands and I came to a pretty place right by the river and the river was there and there was nothing else there and then I saw my daughter. I looked for 2 seconds and I knew that was her, I ran up screaming and we called 9-1-1 and that’s how it went,” explained an emotional Marianne Lomax.
