Letter to the editor from the family of Erin Henry

To the people of Humboldt County,

The family of Erin Henry would like to relay our thanks to all who assisted in the search for Erin. To the Arcata Police Department and all assisting law enforcement agencies, the faculty and students of HSU, local media, The Lost Coast Trackers, the people of Arcata, Eureka and all surrounding communities who mobilized and helped search for our precious Erin, we would like to express our deepest gratitude.

Although Erin was found deceased, she was at least found. This was as a result of the information shared by thousands in Humboldt County. Thank you to the Caltrans employee who diligently reported finding a knee scooter, after being made aware of Erin’s disappearance and description.

We would also like to encourage others suffering from depression, or related ailments, to seek help. Please help to eliminate any stigma associated with needing medication or treatment in order to function as a happy, healthy human being.

National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1-800-273-8255.

A very deep, heartfelt THANK YOU!

From the family of Erin Henry.
