This is the 6th part in a series. 
Today, we hear from Kyle O’Connell, brother of Kristin.  
You’ll hear in Kyle’s own words what a homicide does to a family, particularly an unsolved one because every day without answers is unpredictable. The phone ringing at any time- during dinner, after 9 PM -is this finally it? There are those moments that come sporadically, without notice,  when an investigator says they’re close…only for another decade to go by. This is Kristin’s story, told by those who are fighting for her. 
There are memories that time does not erase... Forever does not make loss forgettable, only bearable. -Cassandra Clare
