Pandora Kjolsrud,Evan Clark Obituary, Death;- Two adolescents were discovered deceased in a secluded region just outside Phoenix, Arizona, leading to a homicide investigation, as confirmed by authorities.
The teenagers were located on Tuesday morning off State Route 87, situated between Mesa and Payson, according to the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office. Our affiliate station ABC15 reported, citing sources, that they were found at a campsite near Mount Ord, which lies within the Tonto National Forest.
Officials have identified one of the deceased as 18-year-old Pandora Kjolsrud, while the other has been identified only as a 17-year-old. Family and friends have recognized this victim to ABC15 as Evan Clark. Circumstances surrounding their deaths remain ambiguous, but the Maricopa County Medical Examiner has reportedly classified the deaths as “homicides.”
Arcadia High School in Arizona issued a letter to families informing them that two of its students had lost their lives and that their deaths are under investigation, as reported by ABC15. The school refrained from naming the victims.
The station interviewed Kjolsrud’s mother, who conveyed the following message regarding her daughter: “She was a bright light in this world who loved every single person she met and had an unusual ability to make every person she met feel special and loved. She was a friend to many and a beloved daughter. She lived life in a big way and was always up for an adventure. She loved hiking and camping, and her favorite place on earth was Camelback Mountain.”
