Do you have children? And if yes, what are their ages.

Wow, I'm from that neck of the woods, and didn't know anything about this. Sorry for the loss of your friend.

Didn't realize there were any other Tioga grads on here.

I graduated in 05 but my entire family has gone there.

ETA: both my parents knew her.

I believe Bobby was her youngest brother in addition to Brad, Spencer and Joel...

I had no idea there were so many from Tioga on here.

I can't believe that there's three people that actually went to school with her 30 years ago on this board, let alone posting within 30 minutes of each other.

He was so much younger, I always forget him. Bradley was class of '82 and Connie would have been '83. Spencer was late 80s and Joel was like '90, '91, '92 or something like that.

I really only knew Brad and Connie - my wife knew Spencer.

Class of 00' here. I just asked my secretary who went to Tioga at that time and she remembered it vividly. Said she saw the guy that day working at a convenience store and he seemed really creepy. Normally a nice guy before this, just quiet.

I know a few people from around that area, and I've been around there a few times. Hard to believe people getting murdered in that sleepy little place.

I graduated from Tioga in 98 and I remember my older brother talking about this when I was a kid. I had many friends from timber trails and still do.

Joel graduated in 92. I graduated in 91 and Mrs. Ramona Smith was my 4th grade teacher at the time of Connie's murder. Very nice family, have known them most of my life. I still stay in touch with Joel. Small world.

I remember one afternoon I was waiting at the steps near the front doors for my ride home, I was a sophomore, and she came along and sat down beside me. She was waiting for her ride, too, and started asking me a bunch of questions about what I wanted to do after I graduated. I just remember her being really excited about graduation coming up, new beginnings, new experiences...wish I could remember exactly what it was she said she wanted to do but it's been 30 years, I forget.

Then poof! a couple weeks later the bastard murders her. Now that I think about it that's the first time the finality of an individual's death really hit me. One day you're talking to somebody and the next their gone forever.
