There has been a lot of tension in a north Phoenix neighborhood after Lauren Heike was murdered. Now that her alleged killer has been arrested, hikers say they are feeling more at ease.
The area near, we're told, is a very popular hiking trail. Many people were out walking and running on the morning of May 5 – most of them were in groups, and some were by themselves.
"It's just really tragic, I'd say," said Shannon Brousseau. "As a woman, it's something that's always in the back of your mind." "As a mother to two daughters, it's especially concerning," said Brousseau. "It's not gonna make me stop what I do, but I do think we just continue to fight against that and look out for each other."The woman, identified as 29-year-old Lauren Heike, was found dead along a trail in North Phoenix on April 29. Police have released a blurry video that they say shows a suspect who was initially described as a person of interest.
