Oh Heidi. I'm thinking of your family.

I am very sorry for your loss.

OMG I just got on to see if there was any updates about Melissa. I am SO very very sorry for everyone and the family. How very tragic and deepest sympathy to you

Heidi, I"m so very, very sorry for your family's loss. All of you, and Melissa, are in my prayers.

What a terrible outcome. My deep sympathy to all the family.

I'm so sorry. My prayers are with everyone.

I am so sorry for you loss.

This article has a pretty good summary of what was talked about in the news conference. We knew quite a bit of the information last night but since I wasn't sure what, if anything, would be held back by police for their investigation I didn't want to give any specifics. The only slight differences (that I noticed) is that the police cheif said that she was laying down flat in the back seat, not "reclining" and that "they found a history with alcohol" but he never said anything about "alcohol abuse." I think a good portion of the population could say they have "a history with alcohol" and not necessarily be anywhere near alcoholics. He also said that they "found no indication" of any history with drugs.

I'm sure I'm nit picking with the journalism, though. There isn't anything in there that is blatently false, just not quite word for word what he said.

Thank you for your continued support for us and the people who love Melissa. Earl and I know her only through his father's wife and how well she always talked about her, and a couple of times meeting her and Clint and their kids.

Oh Heidi, how horribly sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My thoughts are with her children, family, and all who knew and loved her.

I can't believe she was in her van for 11 days in an apartment complex parking lot and not ONE person noticed?

Rest in peace Melissa...

I'm so sorry, Heidi. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all who loved her.

My thoughts are with her family and friends. RIP Melissa

Rest in peace and for all who loved her, peace and answers.
