"The loving concern from ones that didn't even know Whitney or her family has deeply touched our hearts," Heichel's family said in a statement. "The kind expressions, and support from perfect strangers has confirmed to us that there is much good in people. ... And though, while this event in our lives is tragic, we saw the positive effects it has had on this community."

Holt is scheduled to be arraigned at Clackamas County Court on murder charges Monday afternoon.
