In 1997, Shannon Hazen’s 8-year-old daughter Kirsten was abducted and murdered. For twenty years, Kirsten’s disappearance went unsolved, leaving her family distraught and without answers. In 2017, it was discovered that the family’s neighbor had killed young Kirsten.
Shannon has experienced a grief that no person should ever have to endure. She suffered through years of questions and desperation, before finding out the killer lived on her street all those years.
At Ripples of Hope, Shannon will share her story publicly for the first time. She will talk about grief, desperation and healing.
We are grateful to Shannon for sharing her story, and being a facilitator in our newest grief support group for those who have lost a loved one to homicide.
