What impact did Kirsten Hansen's murder have on her family?

Kirsten Hansen's murder devastated her family, particularly her mother who described living in a never-ending nightmare since April 16th. Her mother now defines life as 'before April 16th and after April 16th.' The tragedy has especially affected Kirsten's young son Jason, who will grow up only knowing his mother through photographs and stories. Eventually, he will need to be told the painful truth about his mother's violent death at the hands of someone she loved and trusted - a betrayal that compounds the family's grief and trauma as they navigate life without her.
