What a beautiful girl Heather was. I am so sorry for your loss of this obviously wonderful person. I can not say that I know how you feel or even what your going through, because I do not.

May God bless your family and friends and bring some peace to you. Amber

For those who think they knew PATRICK and thought he was a good kid, let me just enlighten you a bit...I am a relative of Heather, and was putting up missing person cards all around Shasta Lake on the cars. As I was leaving the parking lot of Bridge Bay, he looked directly at me, ripped up the card I had put on his car, and he threw it angrily to the ground. This evil kid has NO remorse and the thought of having him back on the streets it terrifying!!
terrified!

HEIDI..... Thank you so much for responding. I feel so much better now. And again I am sorry if it was inicially taken the wrong way. May you all have peace on the day of Heather's memorial for think of what she woul want if she were here. I wish I could have known her more than I did, but I am thankful for the little I did know of her. Her and I were so much alike, we were both so silly and giggly. She will always be remembered. Is there any way you guys can post more fun pictures of her anywhere. Or even if you just sent them to me. I would love to see more. May God be with you now and always. I am sure you are hearing this from everyone, but I mean this 100%... if there is anything that you can think of that I might be able to do to help you guys out in any way what so ever... please e-mail and let me know. Thank you so very much. I hop eyou continue to find out information that is 100% true so you can move on with questions answered.... I know the unknown is the worst. It is bothering me not knowing all about this awful story and I am not even related to Heather, so I can imagine how you are feeling. God Bless you. My love and support goes out to you all. You are a very strong family. Heather appreciates that... trust in that.

I hope that everyone will use the site created for venting anger or stating opinions about Patrick Larmour - instead of using this site for that from now on. I think this site should be kept as respectable and dignified as the Carpenter Family have remained through out this painful situation. Please , if you have any negative or hateful things to say about Patrick Larmour or if you just want to exspress an opinion other than comfort and encouragement to Heathers family and friends- Use the site created for that by using the link below this entry. Thank You. I hope this helps to keep this site positive and uplifting to all who come here. To the Carpenter Family; My deepest sympathy and may you find the strength you need to make it through this most difficult time from each other and your many supporters. Have a peaceful holiday.

To all who knew and loved Heather.I had posted earlier ,but can't seem to stop thinking about Heather.It's quite aparent from other posts here that I'm not alone. I wish again to send my heart felt sympathy to Heathers family and friends.What you are dealing with can't even be imagined.I can only hope that with time you can find peace.Having Heather back must be of some comfort,but hardly what so many were hoping for. For Heathers best friend Stephanie.This must be unbearable for you.From posts here you must have been very close.My heart goes out to you.Never forget your friend.Cherish the memories,your love and your friendship that you shared with this beautiful spirit of a woman.Remember her often and always carry her in your heart.Friends are Angels who stay with us all of our lives and Heather will for always be with you. My thoughts will be with you all on Dec.29TH as you say farewell to Heather.I join with so many others when I say God Bless Heather and keep her safe until we all meet again.

Heidi & Family-I am flying out to see my sister/family tomorrow, and I am going to bring that picture of the four of us (with Heather's crunchy hair & Steph in her headgear days). I want to show it to her first, and then I will make a copy and send it out to your family. Please give your mom & dad a big hug for me.....I tears me up inside every single time I see them on the news. I will not be able to make the memorial, since I had already planned to be in Maui with my family (my husband is already there) for the holidays, and I don't return until the 31st. It doesn't look good right now for Steph either....the winter-time is the hardest time to get tickets back and forth to the mainland, and it doesn't look like there is anything available. We will try to send a videotape/letter/scrapbook for Heather's memorial....hopefully that will be our way of saying our respects. Please let me know if there is a memorial fund set aside for Heather. With love, Leigh (Fancher) McNeal

Dear Ed and Cyndy, I went to Pacheco elementary and then played tennis with Heather when I was in highschool. Of course she played for Foothill and I played for Anderson, but before and after our matches we would always hang out, talk and laugh. I will always remember her smile and laugh. Always remembered always loved-Danielle

TO ALL: I am so sorry if anyone took my quote the wrong way that I left here about my old high school friend Heather. I received an e-mail from someone asking what I meant by it so PLEASE let me explain it better so it is not taken the wrong way. First of all... I am so sorry if anyone took it the way this person did that e-mailed me. When I said "Don't only cry because it's over; also smile because it happened." It meant do not only cry because Heather's life is over, but to smile that her life at least happened to have the chance to know someone so wonderful and have them for at least that short while that we did. I AM SO SORRY for anyone who may have taken that the wrong way. I found that while reading through something yesterday and immedialtely thought that it would be a great quote to read and really think about. I never expected it to be taken to smile because what happened to her happened. I am so sorry to Heather's Family and I hope my explaination shows you to appreciate the quote the way it is meant and not the other way it may have been taken. :( I appologize. May God Be with You now and always!!

Try to remain strong as a family. I know that will be so hard, but you have already had so very much taken from you. Do not let him take your family too. I am sure that dear Heather would not want that. Stay strong, and God Bless.

I have looked for your e-mail address for ever and I can't find it.I don't want to write to someone else when it probably isn't you. I don't think anyone will ever know unless they have been through it like you. Nothing is going good now and the cops told my grandma they will have an answer on my aunt in January.I see pictures of your daughter and I get so mad thinking someone can almost get away with it but can axually live with it. I have so many feelings I can't explain but I know you have the same ones. Like you arep axually going crazy? I wish that I could talk to you more about this. I have no one. I am sorry because she was so young and no one should have to die the way she did. He doesn't deserve to die He deserves to suffer. You have talked to my grandma before. I think It made her a little bit happy to have talked to someone. No one comes by anymore. I dont' know if every one is hiding out or people just don't know what to say. That guy knew what he was doing. Even if he was on drugs, I don't know how he didn't know. I believe in Jesus and so I KNOW God is watching over you and your daughter. YOu know what I mean? I keep you in my thoughts and prayers

I am always hearing about what a nice girl Heather was. You just have to remember she is with God. I am so sorry that this had to happen to your family. I hope that your family can finally be at peace. My love and the love of my family goes out to you. ~Makila Bunselmeier~

There were years as an older sister where I thought I was too cool to hang around my younger sister or have to drive her places. But then there were those days where I knew she was going to Heather's house or Heather was coming over. And then, suddenly my schedule would clear, and I would make all efforts to be with the girls. Heather just had that effect, an exhuberant personality to match her shining smile. Heather, may you forever shine brightly in our hearts.

My heart is still aching for Heather. I keep thinking of more and more times that I ran into her in the halls at Foothill High School. Her and I were so much a like that that is why we hit it off so well. I wish we could have became even closer but being that I was two years and grades older I was out of there before she was. The little memories and thoughts that I do have were all great ones. She was silly and fun. I remember her giggle too. She started to date my frined Shane Spinner at one point and I jsut remember her asking me all about him and all taht stuff. She was such a sweet girl. I will never forget her. I know this has go tto be so hard for you Carpenter Family and close friends. I am also very sorry that there are so many people typing such awful things on this website. I think being that there has been several people asking them not too, they will respect you for I am sure that's what you want. Being that the point of this website is for remembering Heather and letting all of you know how sad we are for you. STEPHANIE FANCHER.... I know this has got to be so hard for you. I have e-mailed you a couple of e-mails trying to get into contact with you. I am sure you remember me, if not you will when you look me up in our yearbook. You and I had a few fun laughs together as well. I would love to get in contact with you so if you see this on here, please e-mail me!!! May GOd Be with all of you at this time and please help us all move on and think more positive, for that's waht Heather would want.

Carpenter Family and Friends, I send you my deepest simpathy and most sincere prayers. The old cleche of "It gets easier with time", I wont go there. Ive been through this myself with my daughter of 15 yrs. She was in the wrong place at the wrong time and I lost her 6 years ago. Seeing and knowing how hard it is, I wish that I could take your pain, tears, hurt and anger from you so you would not have to know all of these from something like this. I say that because as a parent, I know that right now you are feeling all of these and Im so sorry that anyone has to know the feeling as I did when it happened with me. I wish you only the best of keeping your family together and strong with love, patients and prayers. I wish there was something more that I could do, Im so sorry that words are all that I can give to you. All I can say is be strong, go ahead and cry till you can cry no more( Its a good thing) and always know that she looks down on you just as my daughter does with my family. She hears all of your thoughts, listens when you talk to her (still) and wraps you in her arms when your feeling her loss and loneliness. She will always be there because shes your little girl.

Okay....I had a nephew in Red Bluff, the wild child. raced go carts growing up, his dad gave him everything a young man needed, good looks, fancy pick-ups, he was killed in a tragic crash on Antelope Rd. in 1999.....his mom and dad were devastated as we all were, Mikie was only 19, at his memorial and events that week, all his friends were blasting "Garth Brooks" tunes on their stereos as they drove around R.B. it was in honor of Mikie, the way he lived. They sang Garth songs at the funeral. So it helped them all, and made us smile.......Please

Carole, Once again I will say to you and everyone else here that everyone grieves differently. Some people here try to govern what people write here and they really don't have a right to tell you or anyone else what to post here. When the Carpenter Family decides its time they may or may not edit some things posted here. No one knows better than them how they feel and everyone should let them speak for theirselves if they so choose. Until such time,I feel like if you are angry at the murderer of Heather Marie Carpenter this is where you can say it.

Dear Carpenter family,USA left a post that i not mention anything more about the suspect.Im sorry if my post upset anyone especially your family as you know i have been at this site from early on showing my support.I just had too get my anger out and maybe this was not the place too do it and i am sorry for that.We prayed that Heather would be found, and was just not prepared for the devastating outcome as most people were not either.I became overwhelmed with anger.Please know that some of my posts included material that carried thoughts of not only Heather but you her family and the devastation and suffering you have had too endure.It was just gut wrenching and made my heart so heavy too even think about what you have been through from the beginning too the end of these long months.Over the months we learned more and more about Heather,what a beautiful girl with such a loving and caring personality.She took hold of our hearts and stayed there.She will always remain in our thoughts and prayers as you will also.I will try too follow news articles concerning the case and will not post anything more about that suspect.I will be angry for awhile but i just wont post it in here.Thankyou and God Bless.

I know this is a very difficult time for all of you and just wanted to let you know that there are caring people out there who are keeping you in prayer right now. I know this holiday season is not going to be an easy one, but I know Heather loved you all and loves you still. She's no longer in any danger and is safe in the warm embrace of our Lord. Take care, DC

I have a picture that is with my sister (Stephanie Fancher), Heather, Jenny Shroyer (a tennis teammate, and my close friend), and me. Steph & Heather decided that they wanted to have curly hair that day....and they spent almost ALL day putting gel and mousse in their hair to scrunch up their stick-straght hair as much as they could. It's funny the things that you remember about a person! Anyway, we had a "photo shoot" shortly thereafter, and in the picture we all "vogue"d. Heather, of course, is in the picture with her tougue sticking out.....one of her trademark poses. THAT was Heather! THAT will always be the silly girl that I remember.....she always found a way to make you smile. We will miss you Heather!

Our family would like to extend our deepest sympathys for your loss. No words can take away the pain. I did not know your daughter. However, I had just moved into Redding in August (from Arkansas). I have a 19, 18, and 14 year old daughter and I thought how easily that it could be mine. I was just telling my husband, the morning they arrested that young man, how I pray that God would help Heather be found! As painful as it is, it is better to know where she is, than never know. I pray for compfort that only God can give you, and the support of the many family, friends, and the community that loves you and feels for you during this time. God Bless you, and I heard you say this morning that her name meant "Flower", she deffinately looked like a beautiful budding flower....Shining!

I have been following the story of my beautiful friend heather and I can't believe this tragedy. It is such a waste of such an amazing girl. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I know she is in a better place. The best place he can be is in prison, looking at her picture and remembering what he has done.I know he will be punished for his sins and get what he deserves. I hope they do to him what he did to her.

I have been watching this story unfold since the day Heather was reported missing by the media. I was touched by your stories of your "angel". I felt a 1/4 of your pain through your tears and couldn't come close to imagine your sorrow. I am not a parent but I am a compassionate human being who has a saddened heart today by the news of your daughter. I lost my father the day after Christmas and spent several years after that hating the holiday season. It just didn't feel the same. Where there used to be laughter, warm thoughts, and smiles around Christmas time turned into bitter, dark, cold days & nights spent pondering many unanswered questions. It was hard to put up a tree not to mention the ornaments or the tree topper. I didn't want to wrap presents, I didn't want to be around anyone and I felt incredibly jealous of families that had not lost anyone close to them. Then one day I was sitting on the beach one day in July with the sun shining upon my face pondering about life and missing my father. Then something strange happened to me. A lone dark cloud came across and began to sprinkle on me. It was at that moment that I felt my father's presence over me as if he was there sitting beside me. Then a few minutes later the cloud dispersed and the sun began to shine again. My mother told me years and years ago that we are given signs by God and that we shouldn't discount any of them. I took that moment as my father telling me to "dry my tears and heal my sorrow because he was right there with me shedding sunlight upon my life". From that moment on I spent my holiday season as a celebration of his life. I was born on Christmas day and know that my father held on until the day after my birthday to say goodbye to me. I know that you will read many many stories from people you don't even know that will put you in their prayers and ask God to give you the support and strength you will need for years to come and especially this holiday season. I promise your "sunshine" will come into your life and please know that those rays that will shine upon your face are the signs of innocence, kindness, good spirits, love, and unforgettable memories that your "angel" Heather will give to you as her gift to her incredible parents. You will be in my prayers this holiday season. God Bless You!!! A girl in Florida

There is a discussion Forum on Redding.com that you can use to express your thoughts, you don't need to leave negative comments on a website set up soley for the family and friends. This is a time for them to go through the greiving process and with the kind words from the community hopefully it will make some days seem a little easier. I don't know what kind of support you think you're giving them by posting negatives on this site. To Heathers family from my family, god bless you and know that you are in our prayers.

And im not done yet.Here are a few things i suppose the defese attorneys will use too defend this guy, a head injury at one time,parents worked home alone too much,latch key kid,bullied at school,personality disorders,some form of dimished capacity,abusive parents,didnt understand what he was doing was wrong,the strangulation was an accident,they were engaged in horseplay and it just happened,ADHD,the victim provocked him---and i could go on and on and on-but i wont.We all know that defense attorneys will go too any length,use anything they can even if its total BS too get their client out of his jam.But in this case im so hoping the proscecutors as great as they are,will win this case just by using the COLD,HARD,TRUE FACTS and this killer will be convicted of MURDER.These posts were for YOU Heather!

Well ive just been wondering what kind of defense Patricks lawyers will prepare? In my opinion there is only one defense in court that is justifiable and that is SELF DEFENSE when you feel your life in danger otherwise its all BS.If a person knows the difference between LIFE and DEATH,and they committ an act which they KNOW will result in death-there is no defense,they are guilty of MURDER!!!In a strangulation case there are several minutes in which the killer can stop and decide what they are doing is wrong and let the victim live.However if he continues until he has brought this persons life too an end,he is a cold blooded killer!!!!And too cover up your crime by hiding someones body-well I say BRING THE GAVEL DOWN!!!!Everyone is going too have too sit in a courtroom and listen too a defense lawyer give 101 excuses why he did this.There can be N0 EXCUSES,NO REASONS_other than he committed murder in the 1st degree and i cant see why the special circumstances cant be attempted rape here----LOCK HIM UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY!!!!!!hes no different than Bundy,Gacy,Ridgeway or any of the others!!!!!Had he not been caught,there may have been others!!!!

Couldn't help but notice that poor little Pat looks like he has lost a bit of his confidence and cockiness? Was it just me, or did anyone else seem to think that he just might be realizing what consequences his actions are going to bring to him! May those consequences come soon, last long and be so severe that he never ever forget what he did to our beloved friend!

Dear Precious Family; I am so very proud of you today. The courage and strength it takes to speak of the horror that has taken this precious child from your arms, your "Angel" your child, your baby, your sister, your friend, "This should have never happened". The Memorial to Heather on the 29th of December will be another tough day to get through. This Community that has fallen in love with Heathers spirit will stay at your side and "you will not walk alone"! Christmas will soon be here, Heathers favorite time of year, I hope you celebrate this day for her "the way she would". From the absolute bottom of my heart, and that of my sweet Justin, our continued prayers for all. "We Love You".Stay Strong!

Dearest Family, As I sat and watched you on Good Morning America this morning I was taken back 5 longgg months to the time Heather first disappeared. That was the day I vowed to God, myself, your family and most of all to Heather to help bring closure to this nightmare. My heart literally broke in 2 as I watched your tears flowing for the loss of your Precious Angel. You are truly a remarkable family. You are in the midst of the most trying time you will ever face in your lives and still you are able to face everything this has been thrown at you with the upmost dignity and respect. I know as you were speaking this morning about Heather, you were gathering your strength from God. Heather would be so proud of you for being so strong in this terrible time. Continue to gather your strength from God and from each other and from your many loyal supporters. Together we will all see that Justice is brought upon this young man and keep Heathers Precious and Pure memory in the minds of all.

Heartbreaking for parents, brothers, sisters, friends. I've never heard of this woman. But every life is always priceless. Why these criminal will realize the fact taking a live if human being; you are taking/putting a light of your own light. I'm lost in words. I hope Ms. Heather Carpenter's soul will rest in peace & her soul be sent to heaven. I know the lose of a child can't be replaced with my words. But I wish Heather will be remembered by all of us and ALL OF US... every single day.

"WHY?" Why are people so evil? Why do they prey on the innocent? Only God knows. I pray strength and peace for your family during these troubling times. Know this: God WILL give you peace in the midst of the storm. God did not create evil. Look to Him for that is where your help will come from. His Strength is made perfect when your strength is gone.

First of all I wish to express my deepest condolesences to the Carpenter family. Although I did not know you or your daughter, I have been following the story in the paper and was deeply saddened at the tragic end. To all who defend her killer, the apple does not fall far from the tree, I've met enough Larmours to know they are all worthless. Even if Patricia doesn't get the death penalty, he will pay in prison when many a Bubba makes him pick up the soap. I was so impressed with the Redding community and how they all pulled together to help solve this crime. Now not only should we rally around the Carpenter family, but lets also remember Tera Smith and her family. They still have no closure. Where's Tera? Zink knows..he can be found daily in the Downtown Redding Mall at his Daddy's coin/baseball card shop...maybe Heather's tragedy can put the spotlight back on him.. and we can help the Smith family get the closure they so deserve. The Larmours protected Patrick just like the Zinks are protecting Troy. The Carpenters and Smiths do not deserve the pain these families are putting them through.

Oh Miss Lorianne, just had to say something special to you and that novel you wrote that no one should have to have read...but ummm Deary, Heather was 22, she was of age to be drinking, so to answer your obviously unthought out question, she may have been drinking, Mr Pat on the other hand was 17, I believe that to be illegal age to drink and well, drugs are just plain ol' illegal anyways,so Heather also didn't drive, her friends were responsible to take her keys, justify when there are better ways to back yourself up, not when you look like a fool, and if Heather was out late, thats ok, adults can do that sort of thing hun, it's allowed, we don't have bedtimes and curfews, I hope you are not planning on being a lawyer sweetie, cause your "defense" sucks!! These people have a right to be upset with Pat, and if they express it with hatful words, that is ok, you will have to get over that girly, cause no one wants to hear your crap anymore...you take care now, God Bless all of you!

My guess is the little creep hasn't even got the guts to kill himself even if he weren't being watched. But we all know sometimes things still happen to the people being watched. This is one time I can honestly say I couldn't care less what happens to him and I hope recieves all the attention he has been promised by the inmates that he will soon be living with daily.

Please know that I would if I could and I will be thinkning and praying for each and eveyone of you who love her on that day and always. May God Be with You. And may people realize that this site is meant for Heather's family only. Pleas stop all the arguing and bad talking about the Larmour family. I can tell you that I am sure that is not the kind of stuff her family is looking forward to reading when they decide to check this site. It has already made me not even want to read what others have typed out and she and I had a little friendship in high school. Please use better judgment for the sake of Heather's friends and loved ones. Her own best friend Stephanie has already asked you to do that. Thank You. May God be with you Carpenter's and the many more who loved Heather!! Hang in there Stephanie. Think of what Heather would really want for you guys. I knew her enough to know she would not want any of us suffering when she is now so free. She would want her family to continue the life they still have and try to make the best of it. Just hold on to the good memories you all have of her. AMybe people can start typing about those kind of things instead of all this negativity. Sharing stories that people know of Heather and themselves would be a wonderful thing for her family to read about. Make more smiles arrise then frowns. There's already enough to frown about.

I am very, very sorry for the loss of Heather Carpenter.My heart goes out to her family and friends.I pray for all of you every day and now even more so since she has been found.My 12 yr old son who always saw the flyers wondered when she would be found. I had to tell him the other day that Heather was found and he looked happy. He asked how she was and where she had been!? Now what a positive child to think like that! Unfortunately,I told him what had happened and he was deeply saddened. I mentioned this to my own mother and she had a very good point. When I was his age (12), she never had to tell me that there were kids dying. Worse yet, kids being killed by kids. Now it seems to be a common thing! How sad is that! Heather's murderer deserves punishment that I hope is severe.I know our justice system is so screwed up that I imagine this Patrick guy is being protected or even watched so he doesn't try to take his own life. Who protected Heather? Amazing how people can do cruel things and receive protection. I have noticed others posting comments about Tera Smith. I know it's been 5 yrs but I hope everyone still keeps her in their minds, hearts and prayers as they did Heather. There needs to be closure for the Smith family as well. Hopefully there will be some way to make the responsible party of Tera's disappearance TALK! Goodness knows there are alot of people out there that would love to make sure this person does! Take care Carpenter family and at least you know Heather is in an awesome place looking down on all of you!

It's just that I (as a part of a former job) have sat in many a courtroom listening to attorneys make little freaks look like they deserve a break because they had a rough childhood. and any ammo you give them to make the kid look like he had it rough works against the prosecution in many cases. His attorney can use it to try to build sympathy for his client. This is just the opinion of a former professional court watcher. Take my word for it or not....it's up to you. I'm through talkin about this.... again my heartfelt condolances to the Carpenter family, may you find peace in knowing she's finally at rest.

I don't belive anymore the crap I was spoon fed as s kid. God sees all ... God is love ... so many have died in his name ... he has let so much horror happen to the innocent and the guilty go free and live happy productive lives. It is hard to believe that God even cares about "His children" any more.

re: CONCERNED NOT use it against Heather and her family. and YES we know how sick someone must be to do that, but his attorney can use it to show a judge and jury (who are supposed to be impartial like THEY lived under a rock)just how sick Pat was. Don't give them any ammo to shoot to the jury is all I'm saying.

blaming a "leftist" "semi-commi" judicial system doesn't take away from the fact that "here-say" is only alowed in civil trials, not criminal cases. Everything on here is here-say, an email address doesn't make you a reliable source, nor could it count for testimony in a criminal trial. Blessings to Heather's Family, you have a community behind you. People are just releasing their anger on here because they are angry at the situation, not because they want to disrespect Heather's memory I am sure. Folks, let's try to stay positive and leave kind remembrences. Take Care.

I just read a post here that really bothers me. Someone said that by expressing feelings of anger toward Patrick Larmour and his family , his attorney would be able to use it against Heather and her family. They said it would just prove how "mentally off" he is. Well Good God, if you think they don't already know how disturbed he is by what he has done than you must be living under a rock somewhere. I think now, more than ever that people who knew he was on drugs and having some sick obsession with sex and whatever else they know, (which I would bet my life they know more still) should not have kept anything they knew or "know" concerning Heather or Patrick a secret. And if you are reading this and feel this applies to you or you know anything else, it would not only be an Honorable thing to do, it would be WISE to call Secret Witness and share any little thing that may help Bring Swift Justice to the "Murderer" of Heather Marie Carpenter. NOW like never before is the time to STAND UP FOR HEATHER !! I'm in no way suggesting that you should post your info here on Heathers Web Site, as this is NOT the appropriate place for that. But you should let the proper authorities know. Even the smallest detail might Help Bring Justice to Heather Marie Carpenter's Murderer. Thank You to the Editor of this Site for "allowing" us to word our postings the way we want to during this horrible time. Much credit is due to you for keeping Heather's Web Site up and running, and supplying all new information as it becomes available. Thank You a Million!! I hope this Site will be here for all Eternity so that NO ONE WILL EVER FORGET HEATHER MARIE CARPENTER.

Shame on you, James Martin. This is an inappropriate place to take out your anger on our society. Heather was a beautiful girl and came from a very supporting and loving family. I am proud to say she is someone who had an influence on my life. This is not a place to preach. I cannot express the sorrow I feel and how torn I am with the relief that there might finally be some closure for this family. This is a very sad time, but she will never be forgotten.

No one knows anothers inner thoughts. It wasnt stated his family is to blame for the act, just their lack of parenting. And not helping the authorities. More importantly, who cares about the pat you knew, obviously you didnt know him inside. What angers me is his family and friends compairing their hurt to the Carpenters, AND USING THIS SITE TO EXPRESS IT. Its rude and no one cares about the pain of the kid or his family who did this, he is alive. So go again I say go make a website for "the pat you knew" and stop talking about him as if he was an good boy. One who took meth, stayed out all night, obsessed with sex, and his lies and family kept another family in agony. It was said here it wasnt a secret to anyone he went to school with, so obviously you didnt know him, you knew what he wanted to portray. But it takes someone who can look at another on drugs and sees the signals and doesnt turn a cheek to it. Until the kid does something like this, this is what it took for you all to see what he was. Now go take a look at your own children, a good look, and stop seeing what you want to see. wake the hell up.

To the entire Carpenter Family. I would like to express my profound sorrow on the loss of your beloved Heather. Although her journey on Earth was brief she bathed in the Sunshine of so many people. Heather also bathed in your Love and was surrounded by family who helped her to become such a wonderful person. I am reminded of a short poem by the sixteenth Japanese poet, Teitoku Matsunage: " The morning glory blooms but for an hour and yet it differs not at heart from the giant pine that lives for a thousand years". Please accept my sincere condolence. My prayers are with you and Heather. I would would be honored to arrange to have Heather's memorial service broadcast ofer the internet on the www.memorials4them.com website. This would allow the world to attend Heather's memorial service. There would be no expense involved. Aly Mckinna

I just want to give Heathers parents my deepest condolences. My prayers are with you. I was home on leave last month and heard about the case. i was freaked out because i had just gotten married and was afraid that something might happen to my wife. I went to school at CVHS where patrick started high school. I got to know him and became aquaintces with him. He was a cool kid untill about 10th grade when he got in to pot and i believe was even put on probation for assult but i never thought that he would kill someone. But to every one out the be careful and leave PAT and his family off of this site this is for heather. it is not a hate site. Make a "I HOPE PAT DIES AND ROTS IN HELL SITE" if you want to say things about him but not here. once again to heathers family I AM SORRY

Heather and I were such good friends and I have not been able to type anything on this website for a while now. But today while sitting outside I noticed that this past week was very wet and gloomy and yet today the sun shines with a slight breeze. The breeze reminded me of a time when Heather and I were watching this "chick flick" she loved romantic movies and there was this saying, "It is like the wind, I can't see but I can feel it." This is how I feel about my forever lost friend. I know that she will never walk through my door with her beautiful smile, she will never call me late at night just to talk, but even though we will never be able to do things we use to do together. I have all of those beautiful memories and I know she is like the wind, I can't see her, but I can feel her. I will always love her and am so thankful she was a part of my life. So I am so glad that the sun shines today because I know that it is her beautiful smile shining on us telling us she is finally at peace. Misty

To all that are of Heather's age: My daughter went and graduated with Heather. The hearbreak in my home is none the less quite disturbing. I want to tell all that are reading to take this situation to heart. My rule at home has been that if you are not able to get home safely, call mom! As a 22 year old, my daughter has been very responsible with this rule. I want you all to remember that your parents love you. Talk to them. Partying is a natural thing that most young people do. When we talk about trust, It is awful to think that a "friend" would do this sort of thing and it only backs up my feelings that we do not know who we can trust.... even our best friends. Please kids.... make a point to have back up... if not mom or dad.... another family memeber... or another parent of a friend... you get my meaning. The tears of pain go way beyond the tears of the loss of you. We do not always make good decisions but please.... remember... it's better to have been yelled at because you called home for a ride because you were drunk... than for you to be dead. The loss of FHS students at this young age of 22, being to drugs/alcohol.... some of you even have frineds in jail.... it is just wrong. Believe in yourself... for from what I have been told about Heather, she would have believed in you. Don't let her death be in vain.... let it be a lesson. I am so sorry to the Carpenter Family. My heart cries for you. Love, Barbara...Mom in Redding.

I have been struggling with the idea of posting this letter for awhile now. I have chosen to do so in the hopes that it helps some of the readers. If I had a choice, I would say it directly to The Carpenters and Patricks family. I will try to condense the facts and you will have to follow. In 1996 while sitting in my living room alone watching tv I saw headlights coming up my driveway, a long gravel road. It was about 10:00 and it startled me since I was alone. I went to the door and there were 3 young men. I knew one of them from visits to my home with my son. The other 2 were strangers. I ask what's going on? I was frightened because my son was not there, I told them that. One of them, a boy named Steve that spent a lot of time at our home in recent months spoke. He said "it's not good news we bring", I thought right away that something had happened to my son! They ask if they could come in, I said certainly, "I ask if my child had been in an accident or something"? They just looked at me, terrified by now I said please tell me what's going on. Steve spoke, he says "he's in jail", "he's been arrested for attempted murder". I went into shock! As the conversation progressed and the reality unfolded there that night, my world changed FOREVER! I was at the jail the next morning to speak with my son. As I walked up to the window, looked through the glass at my 22 year old child that was pretty much my best friend and a real sweetie, loved his cats, loved to bring me wild flowers from the pasture when he mowed for me, pick up a milkshake on his way home from work, "is there anything you need me to do today mom"? This person behind the glass in an orange jumpsuit was not my baby boy! That very first meeting was the worst experience of my life....what follows is still an unfolding nightmare for me. Since then, a 30 year marriage was destroyed, a lifes savings gone, a home lost, an attempt at suicide on my part, over what, problems in our home that put so much pressure on our son that he got involved in "meth" and self-destructed! His father turned his back on him, said he was a disgrace to the prominent family name, the terror of thr trial, seeing my son shackled and chained, knowing that he was there because his father and I failed in our lives and it caused him to look for an escape from it all. I had no clue that this good looking guy, that loved his hot-rod pick-up, his loud "country music", all the girlies....way to many....was doing drugs? Well, it's been 8 long years of visits, phone calls, letters, thoughts about coming back home a convicted felon, loving his grama so very much for being the only one left but MOMMY.....we have gone over it 1,000 times! What could have been done differently? So you see people, while we try so hard as parents and active community participants, run our business's, work hard at having it all, sometimes FATE reers it's ugly face and everything changes forever! The victims and the people that love and charrish them get caught in the crossfire. I adore my son, thank the LORD he did not hurt anyone! But as I thought about the Carpenters, and how having their precious Heather taken away from their world, and knew how the pain was so unbearable for them, "HEATHERS TREE"

None of us will know how much if any the parents had in covering for their son until it is all brought out in the trial.However from the day their son was questioned about Heather red flags should have went up all over the place for the parents.He lived in the same household,do you mean too tell me his behavior,the things he may have said or done,didnt give them suspect too the fact he may have been invoved?Did they know so little about their son that they couldnt pick up on his obsession with sex or his drug use?Did they attempt too talk with him,or get him help if they did suspect? Or when they found out he may be involved did they automatically go in too the "shield"mode too make sure their son would stay out of jail.When something is wrong with someone in our family we can tell and it is brought too attention and dealt with.I just dont understand his family not picking up on something and urging him too go forward with the truth instead of putting the Carpenter family through 5 long months of torture,then actually waiting untill her remains was found and Patrick is arrested.How could this kid at 17 be able too afford a truck,4 wheeler and have the money too buy drugs for cryin out loud!!!!!!If as some people say he was spoiled despite his behavior this is called enabling.Its like buying alcohol for an alcoholic,or drugs for a drug addict.If a person takes a gun and shoots someone,the person who pulls the trigger is responsible for the act itself,however the person who loaded the gun with bullets knowing that the gun may used too cause harm,also has too take responsibility.If Patricks family had any clue or clues that he was involved in any way it shoud have been their responsibility too work with law enforcement and brought this case too a close alot sooner and helping too alleviate the Carpenters not knowing a suffering for 5 MONTHS!!!!

sad- please dont post any sadness about the Larmours, they didnt post the posters in their store, and probably knew more about this then anyone. I do not feel sorry for them it seems they covered this up, with a lawyer and not helping. Had my child been accused and i believed it not to be true I would have been out searching with the family and posting pictures. And had that been my child who did what thiers did to an innocent girl I would have had no other choice but to turn them in or ask them to do so. Because it was wrong. Apparently they had nothing but bad words to say and nothing to help the Carpenters in thier search. AGAIN I ASK HOW YOU WOULD FEEL? DID YOUR SIBLING MURDER BECAUSE THEY COULDNT GET THE SEX THEY DESIRED? and then put it off on the girl like it was her fault? He is a POS and for his family to let him say such things is horrible. May he rot in prison, and if his parents covered it up may they rot as well. Too bad about your family but even though some can be genetic, some is also in how you were raised. They gave this boy no rules apparently (he was out all night and was on meth). My child would be in rehab, because I believe in "tough love". I also have a family memeber who went astray but never murdered anyone, there is no excuse. Had they done so I would have had to turn them in, just as saddams family did to him. Patricks family was worried about nothing more then their own not Heather who was not in this life anymore and her parents couldnt have closure because of him, and most likely his family. FOr anyone to compair the Carpenters pain to the Larmours pain is OUTRAGEOUS. Their child will not be the VICTIM, and will walk the streets again. But let me know the day he is up for parole, I'll be there. TO the Carpenters--Im sorry For your loss, I would love to do anything to help. I would like to attend the memorial service, Im sure you will have a huge turn-out because Heather was so special. Please let us know when it is. The community and the world morns with you, it is why were so angry. To the Larmours family and friends, get your own website, your well wishings and pity isnt needed here. This is for Heather.

I'm so sorry for the loss, but I'm also sorry for finding this guestbook and for reading what people had posted, very sad indeed. I truly believe that the way youth has been portraying itself lately is mistaken, but I truly believe that parents are totally responsible for whatever fate their kids run across. We bring them to this world to look after them, to watch over them, make sure they know the difference between right and wrong and overall to make sure they are safe. I disagree with kids being home alone while parents are away, I disagree with kids being out all night partying, I disagree with the relation between young people and alcohol/drugs.. but I strongly disagree with irresponsible parents. So many things happen because we just simply don't have the time to keep an eye in our kids, I know life isn't easy, I know we cannot spare lots of time.. but we should sit down and think.. most of these sad consecuences are nothing but an answer to our lack of control and dedication. No matter how old.. 17 or 22.. they need us and will need us until the day we die, that is what being parents is all about. I know nobody is perfect, only God.. so who are we to throw the first stone? My condolences to the family.
I'm Sorry
USA - Sunday, December 21, 2003 at 09:28:47

This person will probably spend 10 years in prison if he gets 25. Be assured he will be walking the streets again.... when we raise our children to be spoiled and we coddle them and protect them when they have done wrong, let them stay out all night, have no consequences to actions, this is what you wind up with. These people lost control of him a long time ago. There is a vast difference between the upbringing of these 2 people. Remember Heather was 22, this punk was 17. Where was his parents? Probably out on their houseboat partying. We are responsible to raise our children and direct them in the right ways, not the wrong ways, Patrick is a product of his upbringing, his environment, his parents. I do not feel one bit sorry for Patricks family.

A couple months ago as I was searching for Heather I ran across some writings of hers on the Internet. I wanted to share a couple with everyone. The first one is a favorite quote of Heathers by Ani Difranco. Personal Quote: "I was blessed with a birth and a death, and I guess I just want some say in between" Ani Difranco..... The second one is what Heather wrote of her own words....... "I live in Redding its really peaceful, till all the peaceful ones go mad, and start screaming, because it is too quiet." The third..... "You can tell the quality of a person by how they treat people they don't need." So when you think about Heather you might want to remember this...She considered her life as well as well her death a blessing and having some say so in between was a bonus. Heather didn't get enough time in between to really have her "say" and I guess we are the "Quiet Ones" gone "Mad" that will help Heather to have the "Say" she deserves to have and wanted so much. And finally another thing Heather wrote.... "I mostly love the people I meet, I love to meet them from all walks of life. If you snub your nose up at someone, because they do not meet your conformity, you may miss someone great.".... Heather obviously was a loving, caring, giving and may I add very bright and intelligent young woman. She is guilty of trusting in her fellow man and trusting the wrong one. That is all she is guilty of. And to sit and read how the "Accused" is trying to make Heather out to be some maniac or deranged individual makes me MAD!!

Yes this is "Heathers"website and the people who are writing negative comments about her murderer,are doing so out of anger which is pretty much the normal emotion too have right now considering the fact that they did care alot about Heather and the pain and suffering her family has had too endure,up too and including the day Heather was found.Can you not imagine how you would feel had this been your childs fate??Maybe comments like mine and others,negative or untactful as they may sound,still cannot compare too the henious acts which her killer bestowed upon her and the long and heart wrenching pain the Carpenter family has endured over these long months.I salute the people who have made negative comments about the suspect as they do so out of anger because they did care about Heather and her family.I suppose these same people who chose too vent their anger here would be the same people who would have attempted too save and protect Heather from him if they would have had the chance.Candy coating the suspect and the reality of what he is "accused"of doing is just not my way of thinking.At this point,when i read the articles about her discovery,my first and only response is anger!His supporters should be thankful he will be given the oppurtunity for a fair trial in a court of law instead of having the angry pulbic take justice into their own hands.Thats why we have proscecutors,defense attorneys,judges and jurys.And if you think the negative comments in this website are "bad" i hope those of you who support this suspect will have the chance too sit in at his trial and learn the details of what he did too Heather and you will learn the meaning of "bad"My heart goes out too the Carpenter family and family and friends of all victims as as long as their nightmare has been,it is not over as they will have too sit in court(if they can)and listen step by step,word by word how their beatuful daughter spent the last days of her prescious life.

With all due repect, I'm sorry if I offended any one the CARPENTERS by my outburst of madness caused by the pain I feel so deeply. As for anyone else here who might not like what I said, unless you are Ed, Cydney, Heidi or Chris , then you just need to mourn the way you want to mourn and let everyone else do the same. If you don't like my postings..BUMMER!!!! Everyone mourns and handles death in their own way, I don't criticize or try to sensor what you say so show me the same respect please! Some people pray, some people scream and right now I feel like SCREAMING!!!! So get off my back. You mourn however you like but as for me ..I'M STILL MAD AS HELL!!!

To my Uncle Carl and Aunt Susan, and the Carpenter family, I only can express my deepest sympathy for your loss. It's a shame that such a beautiful and innocent girl had this done to her. She didn't deserve it, and I hope that justice is served. In the world today, it's a shame that these kinds a things are done to innocent people. Your in my thoughts and prayers, especially within this holiday season. Don't worry everything will work about, grieving will eventually subside, but Heather will always be in our hearts. Merry Christmas.

WOULD EVERYONE STOP FIGHTING...THIS IS A TIME TO MOURN HEATHER'S PASSING AND TO CELEBRATE HER LIFE!!! She was my best friend in the whole world my entire life and I don't want to hear all of this and neither do her parents and family! She was the most honest, loving, compassionate, gregarious girl in the world. Every day for the rest of my life she will be in my thoughts and I await the day when I will see her and get to hug her again. Cyd and Ed, I love you, you are my second parents, and as I tell you daily, I am here for you always. I'm trying to get a flight for the memorial!! Alyssa, I'll do your makeup for the service..as Heath would request. I love you all, and Heather is looking down on us with love and admiring our strength. Kisses and hugs to all.

I knew Heather through work and hung out with her over the past summer. She was such a beautiful person and always made me laugh. To her family I say this; just remember the good times you had with her. That's all she would want you to remember. Rest assured, God has a new angel in Heaven. Good bye, Heather....I'm sorry we didn't have more time in this life together.

Everyone responding negativly and/or responding to these posts at all (yes I am guilty, but I am trying to wake you people up) are just making it worse. Don't respond to those who mention Patrick ... just give praises to Heather, you are being self-righteous in trying to stand up for Heather and her family. Don't speak for the family, it would be best to just simply share your good stories involving Heather and give your verbal support to the them. Please handle your words with class.

so sad- So you knew both of the families? or you chose to write about a murderer and his family here for whos sake? Not the family of poor beautiful Heather. I have a teenager too but I will tell you this, I would be checking on my child if they were out with friends, but mine makes good choices because she knows she is guility by association, and she has gotten away from kids who do wrong because she is good, and has values and doesnt wish to try to be "cool" just to be popular. If Pat were my son I'd have grounded him for a long time, (including taking his truck and liscense) if he was out all night, or doing drugs, and getting a fix for his "sex" fetish. I just wonder had it been your daughter if you would be so kind as to say those same words. I doubt you would. Someone takes a life you brought into the world, and you say something so blatantly disrespectful on the deceased site about "bad choices" Give me a break, and get yourself a clue.

For those of you who wish to post here in reguards to Patrick, and his families pain and other bs or kind words of the person you think you knew, go make your own website and post all your nice things to him and his family there. Because I dont feel for his family, maybe if they kept a closer eye on their 17 yr old minor child and didnt allow him to go out all night and party this wouldnt have happened. Maybe if the boy knew rules and respect for women instead of objects we would still have this precious life here with us today. Now I still blame his family, his parents, they brought him into this world and somehow didnt do right by him. Because of this he took her out of this world. So I should feel bad for his family that didnt support the effort in finding her or even post her poster at thier store? And who went and got a laywer immediatly? Sorry, I feel nothing but they were trying to cover up their own spawns evil doings. So please out of respect for Heathers family go make your own site to talk about the kid who took drugs and was obsessed with sex, who creates lies now and shames her memory.

To answer your question, yes, just talking about killing someone is conspiracy to commit murder......you may not have done it but it carries the same amount of time. Bizarre

Excuse my entry at this time, but did I understand that right? In California, if you are involved in a conspiracy to kill someone it's a 25year to life in prison sentence? The murderer of Heather is only being charged with 25 to life also? WOW! This is screwed up stuff! That's just flat wrong! UNBELIEVABLE LAWS WE'VE GOT PEOPLE!!!!!!

I am truly saddened that such a horrible act can take place in such a small town atmosphere and that there are individuals who withhheld information that could have brought this family closure long before now. Well, lets all be greatful to the person who was finally brave enough to share what they know and bring closure for this family. There is one thing that we as humans are overlooking right now because of all the pain that is being felt due to this tragic loss. Heather and her killer are the only ones who truly know what happened and who was involved in this brutal act. She was a great loss to the community and would have continued to bring joy and smiles to those around her. I have felt that this young man was the one who took her life for some time but we must all remember that the only ones who will ever know for certain are Heather and her killer if justice was done. Now at this dark time for her friends and family we can only offer our support and kind words and gestures so they can heal and become strong again. I just hope that this communtiy realizes that we are all vulnerable to this sort of tragedy. Parents should raise their children with more supervision and rules as well as be strong enough to enforce the rules that are set no matter how our children may react. Finally, this guestbook is here for Heather and not for inappropriate comments or remarks, so lets all be mature and make our entries meaningful and not disregard Heather's memory, her friends, or her family.

All of the comforting words can not bring your daughter back, but at least know that there are pople who care about your family and who want to see justice served.

Also.....here in the State of California, *A 25year-life sentence also applys to a conspiracy to commit murder charge if convicted. This is such a travesty of justice. You can go to prison for talking about killing a child-molester, as Patrick can for murdering beautiful Heather Marie Carpenter..........

I am so sorry for all of this and wish there was something I could do. All we can do is love you and pray for you. That I will make sure I do. May God be with you now and always.

Well,I looked at the picture of this Patrick,and if a picture is worth a thousand words,his says it all!Kidnapping a beautiful young lady like Heather would be the only way he could get a girl.Too bad he doesnt qualify for the death penalty,although,that would just be too easy of a way out for people like him.I think a nice long stint in an adult prison among the general population of hardened crimanls will be just the punishment he needs.If hes addicted too sex and that was part of his motive behind what he did to Heather,he will find plenty of it there in prison,and plenty of others like him who will be happy too accomodate him,with or without his consent.Gee maybe if he is ever paroled someday,he will come out as "Patrica"and will not longer desire too fullfill his sick needs by a young innocent woman.And for the people who are upset because people are bashing poor little Patrick,I say too you-I seriously doubt after the long investigation,law enforcement wouldnt have arrested this little psyco-path if they didnt feel they had enough evidence too do so.And he will have a chance too be defended in a court of law which is more than Heather got.Oh you have a right support him if that is your wish however if it had been your daughter of sister who had suffered at his hands i think you would have a different opinion.If you want too really do something for "poor little Patrick",I suggest you send him a case of Preparation-H cause hes gonna need it!

To Heather’s family, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I have two teenage daughters and can’t imagine what you are going through. The thought of losing my daughters is always somewhere in the back of my mind. Something like this chills me and reminds me to appreciate every moment with them, no matter how trying these teenage years can be. I never met Heather, but I worked with Chris. I am so sorry, Chris. I wish I could help you and your family in some way. My thoughts are with you. -- Susan

I must say I agree with the annoymous person from Redding as well, but do indeed agree with the family memeber of friend that has asked for the respect of others to not directly talk to Patrick or his family on here, because this is not meant for them. My prayers are with the Carpenter Family and Friends. I do have MANY opnions about the Lermour family but do know that that is not what should be said on here. Just know that there are many people praying for you and your beautiful angel. Another Mom!

I can't even begin to know how painful it is to lose a child and all the possibilities that will never be realized. I can only pray that they recieve the incredible strength required to get thru and on with their lives. I want to say "Well said anonymous in Redding." I agree. I hope the family of that stain on society never gets a minute peace for the rest of their lives for raising such a wretched monster.

Many of us are friends of Heather's family and many of us are part of the family. Please note that this website was madew specifcally for Heather's family to hear things about her daughter from loved ones, to unite, to let us know that they are there praying for us at this time and just being there. By stating harsh comments about the murderer and his family it does not help us one bit. We already know this and having to read such harsh words can be so hard when we are already going through so much. So, just know whether "the person with an opinion" is part of the family or jsut a friend, they were just trying to nicley let you all know what this is meant for. Thank you so very much. There has been several e-mail signings of this on here asking you to reply those type of comments onto Lermour's thing, not Heather's. It shouldn't be that hard to respect that! And yes, you all are right this is here for you to say what you want to say, but out of the respect of others... please just watch what you do say. Thank you again.

I just wanted to send my thoughts and prayers to the Carpenter family as they are struggling with this horrible incident. I worked with Heather at CR Gibbs and she was one of the best co-workers I have ever had, besides that, she was a great friend. I am still in shock as to what happened, and cannot believe that someone could do such a terrible thing. As mentioned before, I have been and will keep praying for you and Heather. Although it was awful news to hear during the holiday season, but to think of it this way, at least you have some closure now, and you know that Heather is smiling down on you, letting you know everything will be alright. This may sound childish, but whenever my parents go away on trips and such, they remind me of one of my favorite childhood movies, ET...so just remember, "Heather is right here."

YOU ARE ALL LITTLE SICK PUNKS AND JUST LIKE HIM WILL GET YOUR JUST REWARDS FOR PROTECTING HIM LIKE YOU DID AND OBVIOUSLY STILL ARE!!!

Dear Mr. and Mrs Carpenter: I have posted one message to you only, untill now. I felt strongly that Heather was taken by the young man that says he dropped her off and left. Because of the past knowledge I and my family have had, where the drugs are concerned, I figured there would be some connection. Since your Heather was found and this drugged up kid has now been arrested, I hope the court throws the book as far as they can at him. I am glad there will be no death penalty in this case. I will be happy to see the bad boys in Prison decide who was a more valuable member of this society, Heather Marie Carpenter, or Patrick who killed in the home of his parents a beautiful hard working young woman. I have no doubt his parents feel bad right now, would it be right for them to say otherwise. But there is no way they can compare their loss with that of Heathers murder! To all of Heathers friends: You girls all stay strong and make sure Heathers rights are not forgotten! She was your friend and it's up to you to stand by her now and always. Never let this be about Patrick and who he was or wasn't, for he is history. He did that to himself, destroyed his life and the lives of his parents and "FOR WHAT DID HE GAIN"? My deepest sympathys to the Carpenter family. Friends in Los Molinos, Ca

I would like to send my utmost apologies to the Carpenter family. I hope you all know how much support your family has and even though there is no words to even begin to make the hurt any better just know that she is always with you. I too, know what it feels like to lose a family member as close as that and i am praying that the pain eventually lessens. I used to aid at school with Pat and talked to him every day. I always knew that he was into drugs and used to tell me things that were strange. I hope you all that are close to Heather find peace with what has happened and know that this man will never be able to hurt another girl. Again Iam so sorry and my heart is with heathers family and friends. Heather is now in a better place and is looking down on you. My deepest sympathies to all of you.

I don't think that the Carpenter family should set up another website for Patrick, I think his family should set one up for him...I would be more than happy to post my thoughts about Heather on his website. Thoughts such as what a worthless human beings he and he parents are! He knew that he killer her, and yet he and his family were bad mouthing Heather every chance they got...taunting the Carpenter family everytime they came in contact with each other. To have Ed Larmour (owner of Sunshine Market in Shasta Lake City - let's see how long he stays in business!) give his condolences to the Carpenter's is outrageous - he, like Patrick, are only sorry they got caught!

A bueatiful person has been taken from us, and she will always be remembered as a Princess. My heart goes out to Heathers family and there are no words to describe the type of saddness that they are experiencing. I worked with Heather at C.R. Gibbs, and my day seemed to get brighter every time that I was in her pressence. She just had this uncontrolable glow about her that just made one evoke a smile. She was beautiful in every sence of the word. Our freindship was cut short, but I know that she is looking down at all the people that knew her and loved her she hears our cries. We just have to remeber her for the princess that she was, because I know that she would not want it any other way. I know that it is very hard to find anything positve right now, but I am searching for something that would make me feel better and I know that it could be something that would make others have something to look at and remember her as she was. I had talked to Heather about painting murals, and she was always really intersted in seeing some of my artwork, unfortunatley she was never able to. I would be honered to paint a huge mural, 100% deticated to Heather. I am looking for a business that would be willing to donate a huge wall, outside that the mural could be be seen by lots of people. I am not asking for any money for myself I just need donations for supplies, wall space, and scaffalting. I cannot think of anything else that I would rather do for her and her family and friends. Friend, we miss you Heather!

What an ignorant man to say such a thing! Pat WILL rot in Hell for all eternity for the heinous crimes he has committed! I hope that prison justice takes it's toll on him. He deserves whatever he gets from those loving inmates that will no doubt make him feel right at home! May he never know another moment of peace! How can he...living with what he did!

To the Carpenters-I would just like to express my feelings to you, I am so extremely sorry this horrible situation had to happen to you. You hear stories everyday about murders but you would never think it would happen to you. I went to school with Pat Larmour and it scares me to death to think that someone like him could do such a terrible thing. He seemed like a totally normal person-at the end of the year I know that he started getting into drugs really bad-its amazing how they change you. I know that he LOVED sex and would probably do anything for it, considering that is all he talked about to my friend. I can't believe what he is sayign about her wanting to have sex with him and she started to get physical-he makes me want to puke. I would like to say to the unknown person that called in that that is the best thing you could ever have done, know that the Carpenters now have closure and im sure they appreciate it more than you know. It makes me sick to my stomach to know that someone I knew could do such a thing-why dont people think about others and not just themselves? I am so very sorry about your loss, I can't imagine how you feel. Just know that everyones thoughts and prayers are with you everyday and I am happy that you guys now have closure, even though it turned out how it did. Once again, I cannot tell you enough how sorry for your loss I am. To everyone who knew Heather.

Try as I may I am struggling with the events of this week, obviously along with Mt. Shasta who says he logs on every 30 minutes, Ann, seems to think Detectives made that famous "Rush To Judgement" and friends of Ms. Heathers. Well, to believe there has been a false arrest, you really have to believe in Santa! First of all, Ann, your saying the brave soul that called Secret Witness is a liar and has fabricated and concocted a plan to point the finger at Pat? That's what your saying. Heather was with "Pat" when she was scooped up by those aliens that live up there under Mt. Shasta, right? And the fact that these Detectives sworn to uphold the law, accepted false information to make an arrest, even though such information took them right to where Heathers remains were found. So what is it that has you confused out there? A deep abiding affection for this young man, a hatred for the law, yes, prove I'm guilty,because I'm innocent until you do! Liberals all over think that way........A rush to judgement! Santa is angry!

The incredible strength it took for "CI 1" to come forward with the information is remarkable. On behalf of myself, the community and those unable to personally thank you, we would like to convey our deepest gratitude! YOU ARE OUR HERO! You knew the information for such a short amount of time...and then came forward, even at the risk of your safety and friendships. You show an incredible amount of maturity and compassion by your actions. Your parents must be incredibly proud to have raised a woman of your strength and character! You have given new meaning to humanity, with all that Patrick has taken away...you have given back! My hope is that you would have known Heather better...as you show many of her wonderful qualities. This is the greatest gift that you could have given us this holiday season, and I hope you know that you will always remain in our hearts. Thank you!

Im truely amazed this kid is saying what he is saying, does he think for a second anyone will buy it? Heather was a beautiful girl, what guy wouldnt want to be with her? My heart goes out to the family at this time who have to hear such utter BS from some punk kid who thinks he can choke someone because they didnt give in. Patrick you shame your family and friends and anyone who knows you with your lies. But more so you hurt her family more. Take your punishment and know where your going in this life and the afterlife. Im glad we got this guy before he could do this to others. And to the lamour family, your hurting too? It was your son who caused the pain...Dont even think that saying your hurting too is the same as her family. The fact you would even comment on it is outrageous as well. Now let justice be served and let lessons be learned to any one who thinks they can take advantage of anyone and get away with it.

Carpener Family, I am truly sorry for your loss I met Heather one time through mutual friends. She was a great lady. Now, consider her friends. They have been in much pain. I think it is time to apologize to Isaac for the pain that your relentless hounding has caused in his life. He did nothing but love and care for Heather. I say thank you Isaac, for being such a good friend to Heather. She was lucky to have you, as we were lucky to have her. Now, may we all find peace.

As the horror SPILLS into another day-terrified by his reason-made only with the cheap attempt to survive the selfish impulses of this parasite-WE ALL KNOW her story can never be covered up and not one single negative thought has the chance to fade the innocence of Heathers wings-do not let the endless supply of hallow words echo in your hearts-we need to disregard the piercing pain that continues to unfold before us-let our stinging eyes bleed love for her as she remains as the lighthouse of love that blinds us-bursting with intensity, she is that tangible gift from above-captivating to all who choose to see-this gift can never be replaced by justice or any other word-let our experiences as significant as they are be our reality-this ripple affect will never loose its meaning-I fill this space with the emotions I feel from my interactions and the positive perception that she washes over me-I can feel her raining down upon us with the burning desire to rinse us off- with no doubt we need to keep our eyes fixed on her higher purpose to find our sanity- we’ve been touched by an angel-listen for her encouraging whispers to carry us on- there is no need to dish out any more contagious unexplainable pain- lets relish in her charismatic inspiration for life!-put an end to the observations-no need to hold onto guilt-we don’t contain enough power to paint a different conclusion-so stop with the “should haves”, “wish I would have”, and the unnecessary “could haves”-because in all sincerity we only have hindsight now-SO inhale our chance to be guided by her light-drift in her peace that will wash us to shore-exhale our most loving and sacred memories of happiness-so we can treasure Heather and her beauty in all of our waking moments.

To the Carpenters: My heart is very heavy as I write to you. I don't now how you feel or can pretend to understand the feelings you are experiencing through this loss. I can only imagine how difficult this must be. I think feelings like hate would be much stronger now. How could anyone do such a thing? It's way beyond my ablity to comprehend. I am so sorry this happened to such a beautiful, vivacious women. A tremendous loss to so many. I don't think this is something you can ever get over. The emptiness will always be there. Just know that so many people are griefing with you and love you all so much. You are such kind people, that would never hurt anyone. I guess we have to accept that we will never know why? Know that my thoughts are with you daily and that if you ever need a place to stay, money or anything I have that can help it's there for you. I will pray for you all everyday that peace will be with you. Heather it is not right that your life was shortened here on earth. You are missed by so many. Yes we are sad and will be for a long time. We know you don't want that but it's the only way to feel when something like this happens. Time will help heal these feelings but nothing can make them go away completely. God Bless! Penny Cichy

GOD IS 100% AGAINST MURDER-(IN THE 10 COMMANDMENTS). I ONLY HOPE PATRICK WILL NOW HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO THINK AND I DO MEAN THINK OF HIS VERY GOD AWEFUL SERIOUS PLITE AND THE MANY AND I DO MEAN MANY LIVES HE HAS NOW DESTROYED!"

Thank god he has been stopped now, it is unfortunate though that someone as special as Heather had to be his first(??) and last victim. He will rot in hell for what he has done to our angel. This arrogant kid who has been nothing but rude and disrespectable towards Heather and her family since she has been gone has no remorse and should never be let out of prison....sorry Pat your fun, sheltered life is OVER!!!!!!

BUT HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS KID, HE WILL END UP IN A STATE PRISON AND THE NAZI-LOW RIDERS AND THE SACRAMANIACS, AND THE ARIAN BROTHERHOOD BOYS AND JUST STONE COLD KILLERS FROM EVERY CITY IN THIS STATE WILL EAT HIM FOR LUNCH.

Dear Family and Friends, While I did not know Heather personally, I remember seeing her bright face around town from time to time. I cannot imagine why anyone would want to physically harm her. I am hearing so many comments from soo many people, I can only imagine what you are all going through. I lost a High school friend a few years back due to a head on collision with a drunk driver. When I heard the news I was in denial for months even at the memorial I could not make myself believe that I was really there. One night reality set in and it set in hard. None of us know our days here on earth and we need to count each one as a blessing. I learned from that moment on that my life and my loved ones lives are sooooo precious. Every spare minute I get I spend with my loved ones. Being the same age as your daughter made me realize I am not safe anywhere I go. I have been following this story and sent out many e-mails to my friends all over to get her picture out. One side of me is releived that you all can now find closure, yet another part of me is filled with anger that she is no longer with you all. I pray for peace and comfort for you all. Take time to mourn your daughter, grandaughter, neice, cousin, sister, friend, co-worker; but don't forget to hold tight to the many smiles she put on each of your faces. Heather's life will not be forgotten in my life, and I only hope that the days ahead will grow calmer for all of you. Have peace in knowing that Heather is in a better place looking down on each of you. Count her as your own personal Guardian Angel, and rest assured you will see her soon if you only believe. God Bless you all, and strength be with you.

Shasta Lake, Ca USA - Saturday, December 20, 2003 at 10:06:12

To K.W and J.S.......Don't try to understand what Pat was thinking or not thinking when he drove away with Heather that day. Who he was growing up, what he appeared to be or not be in your eyes, is not who he was deep inside. It will drive you crazy trying to understand it! He may still be in denial, his family is absolutely no doubt trying to figure their son out, the truth may never show itself. People around his family and friends will still support him no matter how repugnant his actions have been. They will talk to eachother, say "no way, that's just not possible", not our Patrick. Life has changed for all of you forever, just as it has for Heathers family and friends! He may have been a loving, sweet kid once, but my guess is he's in reality a disturbed individual, sickened by his own actions! Help his family adjust to the new Patrick. (Assuming he is Guilty) to be sure! It will help no one to be in fantasy land at this point. The victim was Heather, that's REALITY!! There is where your thoughts need to be from here on out. Heather is not here anymore, Patricks family and friends will be able to visit him in prison, hold his hand, give him a hug, kiss his cheek, send him books to read, care packages with candy and goodies to enjoy, he'll listen to music, watch tv. Heathers rights are GONE! So understand this and deal with it. That is the reality!

Dear family; As your trying to come to terms with the reality that has blasted you off your feet, accepting all these lovely good wishes from around the world, you have to continue to eat and sleep and care for eachother. I am hoping if Patrick is responsible for Heathers death, that he admits it to his attorney and accepts a sentence of life in prison to save you the horror of a trial. His family is going to experience severe panic ahead as well and it would be best for him to go away from our area sooner than later. This has been a profound tragedy not only for your family but for this community as well. The healing process has begun for your family and all of Heathers friends, there won't be a moment to escape the emptiness you'll feel for sometime to come, but you know someday peace will wrap its arms around you. My family in Alaska that has been keeping track of an outcome to Heathers case wishes the best for all of you. From my son Justin and myself, we will never forget your struggle and determination to find Heather. Before I say good-bye, "Heathers Tree", people are asking? Through the Holidays it remains lit.......Off....To return during the trial......off after a conviction......Back every year till the day I myself Crossover, always "Heathers Tree". Never will Heather be forgotten in Happy Valley, All My Love Goes Out To Each Of You! GOD BLESS

We all know HEATHER- for every time you can recall a blissful burst of excitement for life-(she is that spirit) to all that are stimulated and intrigued by natures beauty-(she is that feeling) to all that hand out smiles-(she lingers behind your eyes) for every time you have held a love one (she is that warmth) for every time you have enjoyed simplicity-(she was there) for all of us who have lost-(she was it) for all that wish to live a life filled with love and laughter-(she is there) HEATHER is “OUR” Angel-a messenger of love and reminder of life-Remember what living life tastes like and you will be with her-Remember to embrace the beauty of life and you will see her-Remember to consciously indulge in the company of others and you will feel her-Remember that you touch the lives of many and you will be with her. I was at Heathers house for a BBQ a few weeks before she vanished- she had stopped dead in her tracks, as she was walking past me, she acted almost as though she was startled by my presents- then she excitedly asked how I was with an exclamation point at the end. And then I felt this heavy contagious smile fall over me filled with sincerity that will forever infect my mind. I MISS HER-while hung by the ambiguity-she came to me in the dream-I saw her-vividly drifting in peace- and I felt her presence- she has coated my heart for eternity- I thank each one of you for individually shaping her life-I send much love, a personal gratitude and thanks to the immediate friends and family that have built their lives with her-she will always be a piece of my reality!

I would just like to say that I'm terribly sorry that this tradgedy happened. My girlfriend worked with and hung out with Heather on various occasions and I can remember going in to Cheesecakes and seeing her beautiful smile. She was always one of the first to greet me and ask how I was. I wish now that I wouldn't have kept things always so simple, with just an o.k. or I'm fine. She had an obvious care for people and that I admired. In fact through all of this I think I will make a change in my own life to be a little more like her. I hope the best for the Carpenters who have endured a lot of pain and may God Bless Them.

Ed, I don't know if you remember me, but back in the mid 90s me and my friend Andy Allison used to hang out at the Sun Oaks as a part of our daily summer routine. We would always anticipate seeing Heather and Lisa there. We came over to your house a few times and drank all of your soda. Those were good times. I hope you will isolate the good times you and your family shared together and make them a fixture in your everyday life. Remembering the goods times was the only thing that helped me make sense out of the devastation when we lost Andy. Stay positive and believe that the Heather gave you personal happiness in Life and she can do the same in memory.

To the Carpenter family, We are so very sorry for your loss, but thankful Heather was found. We also know the pain of loosing to such brutality and the fight all the way to see that justice was done. It was a night marish fog that turned us inside out. But we managed to get through it one little step at a time & by being there for each other. You will also get through this and learn to cope in your own way. Our family will be keeping yours in our thoughts & prayers.

Dear Ed Cydney, Chris, Heidi, Doug and Betty, My heart is breaking at what you are going through right now! I am so very sorry that she wasn't able to come home to you......but now she is really home with her Creator and King and we know that He will take very good care of her until we can see her again. She has gone on before us, and I know that the Lord will bring comfort and healing to your heavey hearts in time. I know that the sweet person she grew into be will bring you wonderful fond memories to carry you through the difficult times. Lord hold this family close in your arms and grant them your mercy and grace. Hold each other dear family and share every moment that you can. Know that someday we will understand why there was so much evil in this world. I know it will be so difficult to pull your lives back together, but please, please go on for each other, she would have wanted you to. Love and hugs to all of you, Diane Moran

A member of our family works for a prayer ministry.They get calls from people all over the USA.I financially wont be able too buy the gifts I had wanted too for the holliday and it saddened me until our family member came by today with tears in her eyes.She said she had received a call from an 8 year old boy whose ony request was "can you send me food?" An 85 year old woman called too say that she was alone for Christmas,her nephew passed with a terminal illness not long ago.Many have lost their jobs,homes and are in dire straits.With the holliday approaching and we are celebrating let us not forget those among us who are less forntuate and for whatever reason,will not be included in the holliday cheer.Thank The Lord for having food if you have it,a warm place too lay your head and someone next too you too love and be loved.Never feel that you do not have enough when there is those who have nothing.Please remember those who dont in your prayers.May God Bless us all.Carole

One more quick thought. This website IN IT'S ENTIRETY should remain up and running for years to come, lest no one ever forget what happened. At least leave it up through the incarceration of the kid who did this. Take it down when he gets his final reward in prison, as one inmate who wrote in said he will.

When the paper said remains were found the other day at dog creek, and it didn't appear to be connected to Heather, of course I was still optomistic that Heather was still alive. Whoda thunk that only a short time later, the headline in the searchlight would say "Heather found, teen arrested". I had to drop in 2 quarters to get the paper, only to find that, yeah, she'd been found, but not in the way we all had hoped. My heart goes out to the family, and all of Heather's friends. I never had the pleasure of meeting her, but I could tell from her picture that she was one special lady. This world is just getting way too out of hand, and it's a shame that Heather had to get caught up in the madness. My thoughts will always be with you, the family of Heather, and I hope that just knowing....even that she's not coming back will help you get on with things....as I'm sure Heather would have wanted you to. Your loss is tragic and unfortunate, but now you have what alot of other families wish they DID have.... knowledge of just where their child IS. I really feel for you, but more so for those parents who NEVER find out what happened to their child. In that respect, you're quite lucky. They even have someone arrested for it. Some parents never even get THAT. The most notable of whom is Chandra Levy's parents. They know she's gone, but will probably never know what happened. Justine's parents, in Auburn, are in the same place you are....knowing, and someone arrested. Now lets just hope that justice will prevail, and that the person arrested actually IS the person responsible. All I can say in closing is live life to the fullest, because you never know when it will be snatched from you. Heather will always be in your heart to guide you.

No words could ever ease the pain the Carpenter family must be enduring at this time, but I sincerely hope that they will at least find some peace in knowing that their little girl was loved by so many. I only met Heather in passing during the time she was employed at Cheesecakes, but I remeber her always smiling...always happy to help. My heart and thoughts are with the Carpenter family, and may justice be served.

I am truly sorry for the loss of Heather. From what I have learned while following this case, she was a very sweet, compassionate, and beautiful woman. I am originally from Shasta Lake and in the same age group as Heather, so hearing about this hit close to home. I live within blocks to the home that Laci & Scott Peterson shared. Our community has grived greatly from that tradegy, and I can only hope that Redding comes together the same. I am baffled by what these "monsters" think they can get away with. First Laci Peterson, and now Heather, these men need to sit in a cell for the rest of their lives thinking about the ones they have took from this Earth. I am clueless as to how at the age of 17 this boy was out partying at that hour? At 17, most have curfews, with rules regarding their vehicles. Not only is this boy responsible for his actions, but the parents are also to blame. 17 year old's without rules, and punishments will not hesitate to see what they can get away with. This "boy" took a life of a beautiful woman, with so much to live for. My heart and prayers are with you. I hope that you are able to bring closure to this horrid pain, and rest knowing that Heather is up above staring down at all you do. I am sorry that you were not able to see Heather's wedding, children, and accomplishments. But please, do not stop from living your life. I'm sure Heather would not want that.

First off to the carpenter family I am very sorry for your loss. I am a 17 year old girl here in Redding and it scares me very much to know that this has happened. Stay strong, and keep eachother close. But please keep in mind that in this country, though nobody remembers this anymore, the accused is innocent until proven guilty. I don't know if pat did this or not but the endless threats of hurting him are not going to make this any better. If he is guilty then he deserves his punishment. But until he is proven guilty, stop the threats and stop the assuming these hurt his family and friends more than him and they derserve no punishment for what he might have done. Pat cannot here any of these threats so stop! Friends, family and others who are hurt by the new information on heather please keep in mind that pats family and friends are hurting too. Thank you. Stay strong and remember that the town of redding will never let the memory of your daughter die.

I am a friend of Ed and Cydneys from the red lion hotel. My sincer condolences are with you two as well as your family. Like that article said Heather is an angel sent from god to make our lives so happy. She was sent here with her with parents and her family for a reason. It takes special people to be parents, sisters and brothers and that is why God chose her family. Heather is much happier now and the sicko who did this will pay. I love all of you... and may time heal.

Our deepest and sincerest feelings go out to all of the members of the Carpenter family and to the greater Redding community. Our families work together, play together and at this sad time, grieve together because of our loss. It was stated in an earlier post that the eyes of the entire community today showed great sadness and while true, this also shows the solidarity of this community. Our children are part of the "family" of our community and to have lost one of "our" children, especially under such tragic circumstances can shake our faith to its very foundation, but we cannot allow that to happen. Rely on that "family" for strength, as well as the strength of God's love; never doubt your love for either. May God bless you and be with you during this time. Our hearts and our prayers are with you and will continue to be with you.

Lisa Buwalda, my daughter, went to school with Heather and has been profoundly moved by her loss. I have no words of my own, so I will borrow these....... :Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum, Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead scribbling on the sky The message 'He is dead' Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my north, my south, my east and west My working week and my Sunday rest My noon, my midnight My talk, my song; I thought that love would last forever; I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now; put out every one; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood For nothing now can ever come to any good: W.H. AUDEN

Just seeing her pictures makes you feel good, and I bet knowing her would have been much better. For almost 5 months your daughters pictures have hung in countless stores and I myself have taken plenty of looks at them. I wish that bad things didn't happen to good people. I'm sorry for your great loss, and I know that no matter what I say or others say it won't bring her back. I just hope you know that no matter where you guys are she will be with you, and she will forever shine on in your hearts. I also would like to say that I hope Pat pays the price. I went to school with him but never knew him. It makes me ill just knowing that we walked the same halls. I hope that he gets the highest punishment that is possible, and that he never walks among good people like your daughter again. Heather can now rest in peace, she deserves it!

I didn't know Heather, but as a mother, a sister and a friend, her story has touched me since the beginning. I want you, her family to know that I have prayed for Heather and I will pray for you now. It may not be of great comfort but I needed to express how sorry I am for your loss and how beautiful a human being Heather must be to touch the life of complete strangers. I won't presume to know your grief but somehow I feel that a Christmas on earth must be nothing to the celebration that Heather must be having in the comfort of our Savior and how He must be so overjoyed to have her in heaven with him waiting until you can be together again. Thank you for sharing what must be so difficult. Though, as I've said I did not know Heather, she will not be forgotten and neither will you in my heart. May God bless you and give you peace.

Dear Carpenter Family, Friends and the Redding Community, I have been pondering for a few hours on what to write. It was then I had just read where Heather had been found. I have been to this site and the Record Searchlight everyday since Heather was reported missing. A e-mail friend in Chico sent me the info on Heather because her husband worked with or knew Chris. I have prayed and will continue to pray for all those involved, like many others who have signed. I encourage the family to draw strength from these entries. There is so much love and support in them from people you know and dont know. Keep close to the Lord, he will bring you through this. I wish I would of had the chance to know Heather. She sounds like someone I would of loved to have in my life. Out of all the millions of people in the US and in the world, I will never forget Heather Carpenter. Much love and prayers.

When my daughter Sarah started at NCCS in '93, Heather and Stephanie opened their arms and welcomed her into their group of friends. Sarah has told me the story of Heather's much-loved Raisin Lipstick, she always brought it to school and all the girls would share it.I really don't know what to say to comfort you,just know that we all care and that Heather will always be here in spirit- she will never be forgotten.

My husband was involved in the investigation into Heather's disappearance and I can assure you, they all worked countless hours and it weighed heavily on their hearts and minds. I hope that the effort that all people of our community contributed and that brave person who made the call to Secret Witness will bring you some sense of closure now, even though it was not one any one of us had hoped for the outcome to be. You obviously are a very loved family and I hope you know that we are all praying for you. God Bless.

Dirge without Music Edna St. Vincent Millay I am not resigned to the shutting away of loving hearts in the hard ground. So it is, and so it will be, for so it has been, time out of mind: Into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely. Crowned With lilies and with laurel they go; but I am not resigned. Lovers and thinkers, into the earth with you. Be one with the dull, the indiscriminate dust. A fragment of what you felt, of what you knew, A formula, a phrase remains, --- but the best is lost. The answers quick & keen, the honest look, the laughter, the love, They are gone. They have gone to feed the roses. Elegant and curled Is the blossom. Fragrant is the blossom. I know. But I do not approve. More precious was the light in your eyes than all the roses in the world. Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind; Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave. I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.

Here is a poem I received when my husband passed away. I'd like to share it and hope it can help for all of you.It helps me and my daughter.. "If tomorrow starts without me" When tomorrow starts without me, And I'm not there to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry The way you did today, While thinking of the many things, We didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand, That an angel came and called my name, And took me by the hand, And said my place was ready, In heaven far above, And that I'd have to leave behind All of those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away, A tear fell from my eye For all my life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die. I had so much to live for, So much left yet to do, It seemed almost impossible, That I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, The good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared, And all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, just even for awhile, I'd say good-bye and kiss you And maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized, That this could never be.... we love you heather.

my deepest thoughts and prayers go out to the carpenter family.I lost my husband at our young age a few months ago and its the most emptied feeling of him not here and our daughter will never get to know her father. we were aquaintances in high school and I know brett is taking care of her and there both in Gods hands. Its not fair! I will always have memories of heather stephanie and I during north cow creek school days! they really made me feel welcome coming into a very small school. her laugh will always be with all of us who knew her and know shes smiling down on all of us telling us shes okay now! god bless you all!

Dear Carpenter family, I am so very sorry for your loss. I had prayed that Heather would be found and brought home safe. Know that there are thousands of people that are sending their thoughts and prayers to you. Here is a poem that I came across on Laci's website. I hope that it helps to bring you some comfort during this most difficult Holiday Season. God Bless you all. L. First Christmas in Heaven I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below, With tiny lights, like Heaven’s stars reflecting on the snow. The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away that tear, For I’m spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. I have no words to tell you the joy their voices bring, For it is beyond description to hear the angels sing. I know how much you miss me, I see the pain in your heart, But I am not so far away, we really aren’t apart. So be happy for me dear one, you know I hold you dear, And be glad I’m spending Christmas with Jesus this year. I send you a gift from my heavenly house above, I send you a great memory of my truly undying love. After all “LOVE” is the gift more precious than pure gold, It was always the most important in the stories Jesus told. Please love and keep each other as my Father said to do, For I can’t count the blessings of love he has for you. So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away your tears, Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

To the family of Heather, I have ask my mother to post this message for me. I have been incarcerated for 8 years. I cannot be there to offer help or support in person, but I want you to know that from the moment your beautiful daughter went missing, a lot of fellow inmates and myself have been praying for her safe return. I am so sorry this happened to your girl. I am forced to spend my days unfortunately with men that have committed such crimes against women. I have received many write-ups for causing bodily injuries to such inmates. There is even a code of conduct here in a level-4 state prison. If you hurt women and children you get no respect! I have been receiving letters about Heather, news clippings, and have called my mother at times just to see if she had been found? I am speaking for a lot of cellmates when I tell you we are all very sorry for your pain and the loss of Heather. Please hold your heads high through this trial, this person being charged as an adult will receive the maximum sentence Shasta County Courts allow. When Patrick Larmour arrives at one of the many State Prisons, he will be on a sensitive needs yard, afforded slight protection only! So trust me, there will be no place for him to hide or women for him to hurt ever again! God Bless

Looking back on my life, I find that you are woven into all my best memories. You were there on the days when I was so happy I felt as though I could fly. You were also there when I felt my world was falling apart. Somehow your presence made the happy days even brighter and brought a sweetness even to the saddest moments of my life. When I remember those difficult times, I find that the memory of your support and understanding is stronger than the memory of my pain. Thank you for always being there for me, and for being my family. My love always,

We had so hoped and prayed the outcome would be different! God will be with you and will help you through this somehow. Larry and I wish we could shoulder some of the pain ourselves for you. I have daughters too, and I cannot imagine what you are going through. May the peace of Christmas fill your hearts and may you be comforted with the knowledge that so many people are praying for you.

I would just like to say how sorry I am for this bittersweet finding of Heather. Before the holidays, this is not gift you would like to have under the tree. My husband Ryan is in the Navy(over seas)and when we came home in Sept. he was shocked to know that he knew Heather from friends and school, and that she was missing. He hoped when we left that she would be found safely, when I heard the news last night via record searchlight on line, I emailed him and he asked me to send you "his sorries". I wish you players for the holidays and that you can lean on eachother for the strength to get through this, just know that Heather is up above watching down on you at this time and hugging all of you as you grieve! We will miss you Heather!!!

It is with a very sad heart that I write this message to you, the devoted family & friends of Heather. I can't quite fathom the depth of your pain. Heather's disappearance affected our whole community in a way that is somthing to be admired. Such a horrible occurence brought together people & has had a huge impact on how people relate to each other now. I don't go anywhere in town without seeing Heathers adorable face in the window. Conversations around town still revolve around "our Heather". The whole city has adopted her as our own & we feel the loss today now that she has been found. I only knew Heather by frequenting Cheesecakes but I feel deep sadness since I have grown quite attached to her over the last 5 months. The family & friends' outpouring of love & devotion endeared her to us. I feel like I knew her & loved her. I wish for you & your family to have great strength in this very trying time. I hope that you become an even more bonded family as a result of this & you live your lives to the fullest each day in Heather's memory. I know that I will. I, like many who have written, also tell my friends & family I love them more now & appreciate life more. This is a tragedy that nobody should ever have to endure & my heart goes out to you all. A wasted life, such a young, talented, beautiful woman who made such a huge impression on many people in the short amount of time she lived. She continues to make an impression, even in death, she has touched so many lives, united communities & she will be missed. We may never know why this happened but at least we know she is safe now & can start the healing process. Thank you for allowing us to know more about Heather & giving us the opportunity to see just how special she was through your stories. Hopefully it will help lessen your grief by sharing it with all of us that grieve with you. This is a bittersweet Holiday for you I am sure. Take comfort in whatever you can to get through this, we are thinking about you, always! Now we must shift our thoughts from bringing Heather home to bringing her justice. My family & I send our positive thoughts & hope they help you in some small way.

Our prayers are with your entire family at this very difficult time. We have followed the search for heather the entire time and of course were hoping it would not end this way. We also are comforted to at least know she has been found and the person responsible has been caught and will receive his punishment. god bless your family.

When I am gone, release me, let me go. I have so many things to see and do. You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears, Be happy that we had so many years. I gave you my love; you can only guess How much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown, but now, it's time I traveled on alone. So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must. Then let your grief be comforted by trust. It is only for a time that we must be apart, So bless the memories within your hearts. I won't be far away, for life goes on. So if you need me, call and I will come. Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near. And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear All my love around you soft and clear. And then, when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile, and say "Welcome Home."

Our family aches for you, as we have for months now. I hope you are able to take even a shred of comfort in seeing how broad a group of people are pulling for you. I hope you can feel that energy. Heather's picture has been a permanent fixture in Northern California---you couldn't go anywhere without seeing her picture and I applaud the people that went to such great lengths getting her face out there. This is such a tragedy and as a new mom to a little girl, it hits us close to home. There is no way this could have been prevented or forseen. This could be any of our daughters (or sons) and random violence isn't unheard of. In such a quiet community, it really rattles the core of all of us and this sort of senseless act will not be tolerated. I pray you are able to find peace in knowing Heather is resting. And I pray you can feel the arms of the nation embracing you.

Please don't mourn for me; I'm still here, though you don't see. I'm right by your side each night and day and within your heart I long to stay. My body is gone but I'm always near I'm everything you feel, see or hear. My spirit is free, but I'll never depart as long as you keep me alive in your heart. I'll never wander out of your sight-- I'm the brightest star on a hot summers night. I'll never be beyond your reach-- I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach. I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around, And the pure white snow that blankets the ground. I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond-- The clear cool water in a quiet pond. I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring; The first warm raindrop that April will bring. I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine, And you'll see that the face in the moon is mine. When you start thinking there's no one to love you, You can talk to me through the Lord above you. I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees, And you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze. I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep And the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep. I'm the smile you see on a baby's young face. Just look for me, for I am everyplace!
My deepest condolances <My thoughts are with the Carpernter family>

In the dew that covers roses, glistening in the sun. Shes the whisper of the wind when autumns justs begun. Refreashing as the path of a graceful gliding swan. See her in the glowing sky that warms the earth at dawn. Forever young and lovely eternally, for all time. Taken to young her luminous soul without reason, without ryme. Don't wallow around sadley, from her fleash her spirit has been gone. This poem is to tell you that her spirits living on. You may hear her on a rainy day when grey skies cloud the air. No matter what makes you remember her just know that she is there. You may feel a warm comforter on the perfect sunny day. Shes an angel sent to guide you when you have gone astray. She's the brightest star on the darkest dreary night. Remembering her laughter and her spirit full of light. God always needs more Angels, with her he has been blessed. In his strong and gentel arms may her spirit find some rest. When the tears will not stop flowing and the pain is more than you can bear, Picture Heather up in heaven and know that she is there. Dearest Carpenters, I wish I had the pleasure of knowing your enchanting daughter. I however do have the pleasure of knowing Jesus Christ. It makes me sick to hear about such evil and have it hit so close to home. I prey that the Holy Spirit will come over you soothing your pain. Placeing peace into your hearts and closure in your minds.

From the moment Heather's disapearance was announced in August, she has been in my thoughts and prayers everyday. Although the news of her whereabouts is devastating, i find comfort in knowing Heather is in heaven looking down on all of us today. I have so many wonderful memories of Heather's beautiful smile when I look back on our times at North Cow Creek and Foothill together. Heather was the most caring and tender friend and she truely had the biggest heart. I pray her family finds comfort in her memories at this sad time and I pray that justice will be done to her murderer. I will always remember Heather and the joy she brought into the lives of all she touched. Heather will always cast a bright light down on all of us from heaven. She was a wonderful friend and a beautiful person. I will always love you Heather!

I cry for Heather right now, but what I don't understand is how all of these people can say that "God will watch over you, Heather is with God". Well where was God when Heather was murdered? Seems like a pretty cruel go to me. To the family of Heather, I am truely sorry for your loss and hope that some day, your hearts will heal.

Dear Carpenter Family, I am deeply sorry for your loss. I cannot say enough about Heather's beautiful spirit. I, too, remember North Cow Creek Elementary years, as well as Foothill High years, in which Heather was a friend to EVERYONE. She is so beautiful, inside and out. She's with God now, smiling down on those that she loved and that loved her back. I am sorry that this comes before the holidays, but now we can all begin to celebrate the life of Heather Marie Carpenter, who was an angel on Earth. God bless you, and God bless the person who had the courage to come forward so that Heather would be found.

A beautiful girl With soul so bright, And hair of gold Has found the light. In sadness weep But know she stays, Within your hearts In deep felt ways. Her life was brief Love shared was not, Every life she touched In her web gently caught. Each golden strand Has around you wound, When the pain is deep In its strength find your ground. The love and the joy Heather shared on this earth; In that find your peace, It is the legacy of her worth. ******************** Written and offered in deep sympathy. My husband and I saw your lovely daughter at work just before she disappeared; we hoped with you and so many others as you searched - and we ache with you, and so many others, with you now.

Bitter sweet indeed. Words cannot convey how any of us feel with this horrific situation. As many of you have so eloquently written, Heather is home, Heather is safe, Heather is in Heaven, and Heather is now watching over her family and friends. If I may, I would like to share a little story. Just after Heather’s abduction in early August, I climbed Mount Shasta. With a team of seven, I was the only person to reach the summit at 14,162 feet. In my backpack, I carried with me one of Heather’s flyers, several articles, and a handful of the wallet-size missing person cards. Upon reaching the guestbook at the top, I placed a flyer and signed the book pleaing to the heavens for Heather’s return and cried for a person I did not even know. I cried for Heidi and Chris who were missing a sister. At the time, it was the highest place I could post a flyer for Heather. But now, as we all know, she is much higher. She is with her God in Heaven, a place much higher and much more powerful than any mountain any of us could climb. I pray for Ed and Cydney who I was so fortunate to meet as we searched for their daughter. I was impressed with their determination and will of the entire Carpenter family. God will be with you as you struggle through this difficult time. God Bless the Redding Police Department who despite so much pressure from the community, solved this crime with dignity and grace. Even when many of us doubted your determination and resolve, you ultimately brought Heather home by your undeniable commitment. God bless the work you do. Finally, I would like to thank the webmaster and members of this guestbook who kept the faith and never gave the Carpenters reason to give up. We were “concerned” and “relentless” and “afraid,” but ultimately Heather was found. Once again, God Bless the Carpenter family and Redding community. Let the healing process begin.

We were tormented daily, being called the "Nerd Herd", constantly harrassed. Even a boy that had been my boyfriend one month was throwing things at me the next month chanting "Tag the dog". I would come home every day in tears. When I look back on this I remember that out of about 28 people, your Heather was THE only one that never made fun of us or embarrassed us. I wish that I had gotten the chance to get to know her better. She was always a very classy and mature girl. I can still hear her sitting in the back of the classroom, always laughing...I'll probably always remember her laugh forever now. I just want you to know how many of our lives she touched, even in a very simply way. I pray for your family and also that justice is done. God Bless You.

I don't really know what to say. I am in shock still. I cannot imagine the pain that you are going through, but I pray that God gives you strength and justice can be done. I thought I would share with you a little that I knew about Heather. I went to North Cow Creek school with her and then onto Foothill High School. In junior high I went through a very trying time, trying to figure out who I was and analyzing the friends that I had. I didn't like the group of friends that I had anymore. I felt like they were a snobbish and didn't care about the same things that I did. So, I changed groups of friends and starting creating friendships with other people. Cow Creek is a small school so everyone knew your business there. The friendships I created were with the girls that weren't so popular. We were tormented daily being called the

I am relieved that they have found your daughter, and that the grieving can begin. I didn't knoow her, but I did know Tera Smith, and I have seen how difficult it is for the friends and family to not know. It is important to remember that in America people are innocent until proven gulity. Pat also has this right. If it turns out that he was involved, then he deserves to be punished, but until that day, he is just a suspect... My heart goes out to both families, the Carpenter's as well as the Larmour's, as I am sure they are both in shock and disbelief. May God be with you all.

I do not even know what to tell you except that I am so sorry and I will continue to pray for your family. I am in disgust to know that there are such evil people in this world. Whoever did this to Heather is really the one who needs prayers! I will never forget Heather's airheadedness that just made me crack up roming through the halls of Foothill High School. She was such a good, nice, innocent girl. May God be with you all at this time and always.

This poem helps me through the tough times and I want to share it with you at this time: One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonged to him, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you the most you would leave me." The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you only see one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you." I pray that the Lord will carry you through this time in your lives and I picture him holding your precious daughter in his arms to comfort her as she went through this ordeal. Now she is in a better place helping to watch over you and your family during your times of grief.

Ed and Cyd: Bless you both on this saddest day. Her evidence may have been found among the trees, but she is not there. She's in heaven. Her precious soul has been there for some time now. When she looks down upon this sometimes cruel world she cannot help but see through the gray clouds--to realize the immense love there is for her and her wonderful family. From now on she lives there and in our hearts. She is still loved and so are you. When you think of her, smile sometimes--she always had the effect on people to make them smile. As she is looking down she sees we can cry for her too, but she will always have the key to make us smile, sometimes. Love and tears today for you and for Heather. Joe

Hopefully it will be the beginning of the end of this terrible nightmare for all of you as the person responsible is held accountable for his heinous act. Although it is sickening to think that someone (especially someone so young) could do this to someone as beautiful and sweet as Heather, don't lose faith in humanity no matter how tempting it should be. There is so much love for you throughout the Redding community and accross the United States. Heather has touched so many lives and her legend will live on in all of our hearts forever.

You've been watching over us for a while, but if you can have a chat with God please encourage him to make the sun shine a bit brighter today, as it's a time for us to rejoice in your life and laugh at our memories. Always know that your spirit and joy inspires me still and you will live on forever. Please be good in heaven (no toilet papering the pearly gates!) and feel free to wrap your arms around us often.

I just heard the news today and I began to hurt. It was not the type of hurt that is acute but rather a deep hurt - not physical, not emotional but a hurting of the spirit, of the soul. I have read about Heather for about a month and was praying that she was still alive - now knowing that this woman has been denyed her future really makes me wonder about humanity. She should be here, enjoying the good & bad that life has to offer - not the evil. To the family - I am so sorry, she was a beautiful woman with a family that was strong enough raise awarness about their loved one. It needs to be known that your efforts were not in vain. I pray you have peace of mind, I pray you have strength, I pray you have mercy , I pray you have miracles

Dear Carpenter family,We just learned tonight that Heather had been found.We are so very,very sorry for your loss and our thoughts and prayers are with you for strength and comfort.I would personally like too thank all the wonderful people who visited this website too give support and know that this website has been a beautiful tribute too Heather.Although all is not known about what has unfolded concerning the case,thankyou too the person who contacted the secret witness program and helped too return Heather too her family and the guilty party too justice.You can be at peace now knowing that you did the right thing.The Redding police and all involved also deserve a great thankyou for your good police work and diligence in solving this case.Heather will always be in our thoughts and prayers,and never will we forget her beautiful face and the sweet girl we all came too know.Im sure there is a Heaven and Heather knows just how much she was loved by so,so many people.We are hopeful that the person responsible will be prosecuted by the full extent of the law and now he will never be able too hurt another person for as long as he lives.He hurt Heather and all who loved her,however,the damage he has done too himself and the life he will lead from now on will be well a death sentence in itself.May God Bless us All, With Love,Carole

Cydney, Ed, Heidi, & Chris--My mom found out this afternoon and made the call to me. I was driving and had to pull over...as another person mentioned, it hit me like a ton of bricks! I was going to school at Cal Poly when Kristin Smart was abducted....there is still no closure with her case. I prayed that Heather's outcome would be different than Kristin's! Although we all wanted her to be found alive, this outcome is still better than not knowing. Heather & your family has been in my prayers constantly. Please, Cydney, if you need ANYTHING, please call me! All of our love, Tony & Leigh

You all have been in my prayers every day and I am glad that, at least, a part of this horrible nightmare is over for you. Now you can bring Heather home and give her a beautiful place to rest knowing that you can go an see her whenever you need to talk. You will get your answers as to why this happened since the Redding police did not waste any time arresting the boy that gave her that ride. We all anxiously await any further information as it comes in as Heather was one of our own. Please know that my family and all your Mom's friends in Eureka are thinking of you Cydney.

Dear Ed, Cydney, Heidi, and Chris: My prayers are with you as you go through the following days. May your hearts begin to heal as you remember the many good memories you have of Heather, memories that nobody can take away. Heather certainly had a beautiful smile and though I didn't know her the pictures you diligently spread throughout the Northstate, exhibit the warm and caring spirit Heather showed to others. God will give you peace, justice will be done and Heather will be in your hearts forever. Be gentle with each other as each of you must grieve in your own individual ways. Turn to the many people who have been touched by Heather's life and give them an opportunity to return what she so generously gave to them, time, kindness, support, caring, love, generosity, and laughter. God Bless each and every one of you, and may the peace that passes all understanding be in your hearts and minds forever!

Ed & Cydney - you know that words can not express the depth of my sympathy for you tonight. Heather is so loved and tonight you can prepare to bring her home and know that she is safe in the arms of God, where she will wait to be with you again. A special thanks for the Redding Police, especially John Hawkins, for the diligent manner in which he and his team searched for Heather until they could bring her home. To the Redding community for your support for the Carpenter family in this trying time, you are a community of which I am very proud to be a part of. The biggest thank you for the "secret witness" who came forward even though they were "afraid" and gave the missing link to finding Heather and putting a killer behind bars. This is not over until the trial is complete, but now we can all start the healing process.

Please know that you are not alone. Throughout this time being the ribbonmaker for Heather I have seen such an outpouring of love for this beautiful girl and your family. People from all over the country have sent me letters about how Heather's beautiful smile touched their hearts. Please know that she is not alone and neither are you. She is with you every minute of every day. She knows how much you love and care for her. Even though you can't physically hold her, you can hold her in your heart and soul forever. Please don't let anything overshadow the love and memories of your angel. My heart breaks for you. Please know that this nation sees Heather's beauty inside and out as we admire and grieve for Heather. One day you will be reunited with Heather, your angel. Please know that she is always watching over you. You are NEVER alone for she is now your angel. She is with God where she can never be hurt again, she can only feel happiness and love. Through this holiday season, please try to remember Heather's love of Christmas and allow those memories to bring your comfort. May justice be swift for your family and may God bring you the strength to heal. I am praying for you now and forever. If there is anything that I can do, please let me know!

You must know now she is in a better place and worrying only about you and your grief. She had such a beautiful smile. Let her smile again. Let her know that you are okay. She already knows how much you love and miss her. God rest her beautiful soul. God bless all of you in your extreme time of sadness and grief. Suffer the children??????? No. Suffer the guilty and let it be swift, fair and final.

To know Heather was to always be around someone so great and spunky she had one of the cutest personalities and I will miss her forever.
