Town Memorializes Children Slain by Father
A standing-room-only crowd of classmates, friends and relatives in Hillsboro finally got to say farewell to two children whose bodies were found in Ohio 2 1/2 years after their father killed them.
The remains of Sarah Gehring, 14, and her brother Philip, 11, were discovered Dec. 1 in a shallow grave near Hudson, Ohio, about 25 miles southeast of Cleveland.
“Finding their bodies and bringing them home has allowed us to have a more acceptable ending to this part of the journey,” their mother, Teri Knight, said in a statement read to reporters after the memorial service.
