However, 12 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 2: Rebecca's body remained undiscovered for over two days. Concerned colleagues 13 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 2: who noticed her absence from work prompted police to conduct 14 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 2: a welfare check. When officers were unable to get a 15 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 2: response at the door, they were granted access by apartment staff, 16 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: who found her body with a gunshot wound to the head. 17 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 2: Police reported detectives were quickly alerted and an investigation was launched. 18 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 2: A GoFundMe campaign initiated by Rebecca's sister, described her as 19 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,320 Speaker 2: someone who was quote tragically taken away from us by 20 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 2: the man she had loved for more than half of 21 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 2: her life.

This 23 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 2: unit belonged to his girlfriend, thirty three year old Sindal 24 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 2: may Rodin, who was pregnant with a baby boy and 25 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,199 Speaker 2: already a mother to two daughters.
