Daphne Kristel Sulk May 1, 1982-November 1997
 My Daphne was a beautiful child filled with the hope and happiness of the promise of life. Her infectious enthusiasm was spread throughout the family and brought sunshine to each day of my life. She was the youngest of five children, my baby! Daphne blessed our lives for 15 wonderful years.

Daphi, as she was known to those who loved her, had a troubled adolescence. But things were turning around for her and getting much brighter. She had just started 9th grade at the Junior High School, full of excitement and hope. That was until she met the man who would take everything away from her. The man who took her life, the life of her unborn child, and who broke my heart.

He lived nearby; ironically, she met him on her way to her teen support group. What happened after that was learned the hard way, after many exhaustive hours of investigation.

In late October she told me she was pregnant. What I didn’t know was by whom and that he was threatening her. Three days later I came home to find her gone. Scared and alone, she didn’t know what to do. She was gone 11 agonizing days. Little did I know that soon the whole world would drop out from beneath me.

On November 11th, 1997, at 11:00 am, Daphne was found. Her frozen nude body was discovered partially covered with snow in the Pole Mountain region in the Medicine Bow National Forest, Albany County, Wyoming. She was savagely beaten and stabbed over 17 times.

He, Kevin Robinson, 38, was arrested a short time afterward. He was tried and convicted of Voluntary Manslaughter, Solicitation, and Indecent Liberties with a Minor, and sentenced to the Wyoming State Penitentiary for 22 to 29 years.

He murdered my Daphi, my angel, because she refused to have an abortion! We never found out where or when she was killed. In her memory we honor the days, November 8 thru November 11.
