Rowan’s body was found early that cold morning, her body broken with deep lacerations along her torso and neck. According to SMPD her injuries had left her unable to call for help where she wals left to bleed out in the alley.
Thankfully, even after everything, Rowan’s body was still intact enough for an open casket. The morticians worked carefully, using makeup to mask the damage, and with some thoughtful arranging, they managed to make it possible for her loved ones to see her one last time to say goodbye.
Her funeral was quiet but packed. Teachers, classmates, neighbors...all came to pay their respects. Her mom tried to give a eulogy, but the words barely made it past her grief.
