After she’d been gone for so long, suddenly it felt as if Stephanie was everywhere. Not just a spirit visiting my mother’s house, but back in the media, too. There was a storm of news articles right after her bones were discovered; people in New Jersey and near Rochester remembered her name and her face.

The AP published a short update in the New York Times on April 17, saying, “Early on, her father, Jerry Kupchynsky, of East Brunswick, N.J., appealed for his daughter’s return through newspapers and television shows, holding out the slim hope that she had amnesia or had intentionally disappeared. In recent years, however, he said he had come to accept the likelihood that she was killed.”

Greg Livadas wrote a front-page piece for the April 17 Democrat and Chronicle, naming Laraby as the main person of interest and containing a timeline of his run-ins with the law. It includes a photo of Jerry and my mom sitting on their couch, holding a photo of Stephanie.

In an article by Sue Epstein on the same day in New Jersey’s Star Ledger, Jerry says, “I’ve been bleeding emotionally for the whole time. Even though the little spark of hope I maintained all this time that she was alive was extinguished, I’m relieved.”

The next day, Janine Kava wrote in the Democrat and Chronicle, “The discovery of Stephanie Kupchynsky’s remains could trigger old memories and revive clues once dismissed as irrelevant, bringing new life to the investigation that has mystified investigators for 6 ½ years.”

Yet there was still no motive, no confession, no solution.

On April 19, Democrat and Chronicle opinion writer Mark Hare wrote an op-ed entitled “Maybe her bones will prod Stephanie’s killer to come forward.” In it, he wondered if Stephanie’s killer would step into the light. “I don’t believe in monsters,” he wrote. “Even the worst offenses are committed by people capable of doing the right thing.”
