I knew Brenda as "Babe". That was her nickname. She was my friend. It does not surprise me that she, herself, helped get the monster that took her life. She literally carried the evidence to the police herself. Thank God for DNA!!
Babe,I've thought of you every Labor Day for the last 19 years...and often throughout the years. So glad you can finally rest in peace. You may be gone from here, but you are not,and never will be forgotten.
Your friend,
"Kat"

I'm glad that her case has been solved.

To Brendas Family... Bless you
will keep all informed!
wow..
When is the court date? I'd love to go see this monster face justice.
I will find out when the Court date is ..and Hope hopefully Theresa would like to update us on that..
Theresa (Brenda's sister) has informed me that the jury selection will be held on Septerber 14th 2009, and a week later the trial will begin.
I will keep you all informed.
Thanks Theresa!
This is such a sad situation.
How is her child doing?
So happy DNA has evolved to catch these killers!
The yound lady DeMeules???not sure if I am spelling it right? who also left DNA they caught and convicted,not sure what his sentence was I should look into that.
God bless all families who have lost a loved one due to murder.
Yes and that bastered only got 25 year sand with good behavior he can get out in 13. That is bullshit and makes me really mad the goverment sucks ass
Brenda's killer Alfred Moen plead guilty to second degree murder. He was sentenced yesterday to 25 years in prison, not nearly enough. He will probable be out in 15 for good behavior. Brenda's son is doing well considering, he has a son of his own, Brenda would be proud
This is sad news..Justice stinks...lets hope for bad behavior..and then some..
