Police say they are looking into the murders as suspicious after the bodies of two teenagers were discovered in a remote US national park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bodies of 18-year-old Pandora Kjolsrud and 17-year-old Evan Clark, both from Arizona, were tragically found in the Tonto National Forest near Mount Ord on Tuesday morning, May 27, approximately an hour and a half\u2019s drive from Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Maricopa County Medical Examiner verified their deaths as homicides and recorded their dates of death as last Monday, May 26. The two are thought to have died from gunshot wounds after leaving for a camping trip over the Memorial Day weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They have set up GoFundMe sites to support their parents during their time of loss. Evan\u2019s mother, Sandra Malibu Sweeney, has thanked everyone for their unwavering support since losing \u201cmy only child and my beloved son.\u201d \u201cEvan was taken from me last week, and I feel like I can never get over how devastated I am. It is impossible for me to imagine my life without him. Part of her heartbreaking statement on the GoFundMe page read, \u201cIt is a small comfort to share some things about this boy who was on his way to becoming a wonderful man.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Evan wasn\u2019t your average adolescent. He was witty, intelligent, compassionate, and enterprising. He was a gentle, affectionate old soul. The final letter Evan wrote me was so heartwarming that it made me laugh and cry, and he gave it to me on Mother\u2019s Day. He was unique. He was worthy of a long life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She quoted a Buddhist passage from the Dhammapada to wrap up her remarks: \u201cLet go of the past, let go of the future, let go of the present, and cross to the far shore.\u201d You will no longer endure suffering once your body and mind are free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
