Lisa Michelle Ruttenberg Stebic’s family held a prayer vigil for Lisa on the 6 month anniversary of her disappearance on Tuesday, October 30th at 7:30 p.m . The prayer vigil was conducted in the gazebo in the park at the end of Red Star Drive near the Stebic home in Plainfield, the same site as previous vigils.

A brief service was conducted by a rabbi, a friend of Lisa’s family.  We thank, from the bottom of our hearts, all those who came to help us remember Lisa that emotional & touching evening.

Our media advisor - Leigh Harris, who from Phoenix, has helped Lisa’s family organize many community events for Lisa, thanks us for remembering her friend Martha Moxley on that evening, as well.

October 30th marked 32 years since the night Martha was murdered by Michael Skakel in Greenwich, Connecticut.
