My heart sank when I heard the news:
It was about two weeks ago that Brigitt Kennemore went missing after getting off a Santa Clarita Transit bus in Castaic. Her family was concerned almost immediately; we heard about Ms. Kennemore the next day.
I’ve written about that strip mall where the body was found often; it opened last year and has remained largely unoccupied and almost abandoned since. Of course no one will confirm whether the body is that of Kennemore and I suppose there’s a slim chance it isn’t, but still, I felt really upset when I heard the news.
What happened to Ms. Kennemore after she left the bus? Who is responsible? There’s a CHP station a stone’s throw away from this site, how could this happen?
This is sad indeed; very, very sad.
Parent’s worse nightmare.
How very sad
It is bewildering that this disappearance/death did not get the public or media attention Petz felt it deserved. Petz linked the front page Signal article up on Facebook-but did not see it get any traction in the rest of the community . This is in contrast to that period of attemted child abductions in Tesoro/Newhall areas when a large cadre of people put it up on FB. Can anyone explain the seeming lack of interest ?
That’s because her death was by suicide and not some heinous murder. Read the story on the KHTS website. It’s still sad, just not SENSATIONAL!
Just plain sad all around.
Petz:
Rightly or wrongly, I think the reason it did not get a lot of traction is because she was 18, there was no evidence of an abduction, and I certainly hoped she was just hiding out with a friend somewhere.
As time went by, this of course became less likely.

That is something being explored now, after the fact, not 2 weeks ago when she disappeared. It may not be sensationalistic now, but at the time, shortly following two attempted abductions, her disappearance is worth some attention.
