“She was described as a friend to many and the shocking news of her murder rocked the foundation of the community to the core. Let’s not speculate about what might have happened or who may have perpetrated this heinous crime. Instead I urge you to be there as a support for each other over the next few days and weeks. I ask you to hold Hanle’s family in your thoughts and prayers that they might find peace in the future and I ask you to pray for Hanle as she is taken to a far better place than you or I currently live in. May she rest in peace,” his statement concluded.
