Remembering Vanessa
January 29, 2008
Salt Lake City - The family of Trolley Square victim Vanessa Quinn embrace each other at the site of a tree planted in Quinn’s name in Memory Grove, on Tuesday, January 29, 2008. Left to right: Ken Antrobus (father), Sue Antrobus (mother), Stacy Lesch (aunt), and Jen Campbell (sister).
This was a unique moment to witness. The Antrobus family had traveled to Utah for a briefing on the Trolley Square Massacre Report, which law enforcement released today. We had an early scoop on the story and were waiting outside the meeting for any comment the families might want to give. The Antrobus family were headed to Memory Grove, where a tree was previously planted in Vanessa’s name, and they allowed me to follow along.
Seeing the tree, Sue Antrobus asked jokingly, “Is it too little for me to carve my initials into?”
Walking back to our cars, I talked with Ken Atrobus (Quinn’s father). He said, “We got handed a life sentence. I cry every day.”
