My son Chris was found early in the afternoon. He had fled school and went to a neighbors home. But where was Cassie?. Many students were injured and were rushed to hospitals. Others were still in the school hiding in classrooms and closets. Around 5:00 pm, we were told the last busload of students was going to arrive at the nearby Leawood Elementary School. 

We quickly drove over. It was a terrible drive. The streets near the high school were barricaded. There were TV trucks and vans from every media outlet in Denver. I could hear TV helicopters and sirens. I was filled with anxiety.

When we reached Leawood Elementary School, we waited for the last busload. I was sad and still hoping Cassie was on that bus. That my daughter was safe. 

By 9:30 pm, I was still hoping that Cassie was hiding and had found a safe place to be. Brad and I decided to drive home. That night, I could not sleep. I kept having a nightmare involving Cassie. That dreaded phone call came on Thursday around 2:00 am. No parent wants to get a call from the coroners office.

They had Cassie's body.
