A vigil marking 48 years since Renee Freer’s unsolved murder brought family, friends, former residents and townspeople together in Monroe for an evening of prayer, music, heartfelt speeches, and poems. Beth Pisani, a former Monroe Resident, now living out of state, spearheaded the effort. United in remembrance and hope, the community stood together as media and news outlets covered the event which later inspired podcast features on “Murder, She Told” with Kristen Seavey and “Crime Time with Brittani and Renae.”
