Katie Louise Sisson
Katie Sisson was killed on the 8th January 2008 at the age of 18. Katie was planning on going to University in September 2008, and whilst at college she claimed that she wanted to be a lawyer. She was one of the most cleverest people that i have ever known and would pass exams and coursework without even having to attend classes. She was also a very witty girl and could knock down a person with a matter of words. She was a very protective person of those who she cared about and would always be there for both friends and family in need.
Her life was only beginning and she had just started to go out on the town and meet new people as well as new friends.
After her mother noticed that Katie had not returned home she informed the police which launched a missing persons investigation.
3 days after Katie Louise was found in a derelict barn opposite her house in West Hallam, Derbyshire.
Katie would go to this particular barn with her ex boyfriend.
On the night of the 7th January, Katie was texting and ringing her ex boyfriend whilst he was on a night out in Derby.
In the early hours of the 8th January, her ex boyfriend turned up at her home. Katie and her ex went over to the barn to 'solve things'. He was the last person to of seen her alive. He claims that she was alive when he left.
A hearing in January 2009 identified that a police officer who was undercover was on the street and saw a young man running down the street. He slowed down when he passed the car then ran again once he passed. The police officer reported this. But he was unsure where the young man came from. The police officer did not see anyone entering the barn that night.
The hearing also identified that Katie was badly burnt after she had died as no smoke could be found in her lungs. Her body was also marked with bruises and a graze suggesting that Katie could of been held against her will.
The result of death came back as suspicious and she did not die of natural causes.
More information can be obtained from a site set up by her mother, Sue Harrison, www.katielouisesisson.co.uk
and also this weeks (09/10/2009) copy of CHAT magazine.
The FBI are now investigating to the death of Katie on request of her parents.
If anyone has any information then they are asked to contact Derbyshire constabulary in which they will remain anonymous if they wish. A £20,000 Reward issued by her father and mother is in place for anyone with any information which will lead to the arrest of the person or persons who took Katie's life away from her.
One night I dreamed of walking along the shores of different lands.
I could tell that You were with me by the footprints in the sand.
As I gazed upon the heavens, I saw pages of my life.
It was then I realized that You remained there by my side. xxxx
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
Miss you

After they are gone
When someone we love passes away,
We ache, but we go on;
Our dear departed would want us to heal,
After they are gone.
Grief is a normal way to mend
The anguish and pain in our hearts;
We need time to remember and time to mourn,
Before the recovery starts.
Let's draw together to recuperate,
As we go throught this period of sorrow;
Let's help each other, with tender care
To find a brighter tomorrow.

Katie, My Little Flower :)..
Its still hard to beleve that your gone, and i miss you loads.
I know we only met a few times, but we were always talking, and planning our future nights out ! And we always said that when we turned 19, we would have a joint birthday night out, now ill have to go without you, but you will be there in spirit, and we will have baileys all round. Though i dont even like it, you will be proud lol.
And i do have the memories of the times we did have, and they are the best! Especially New Years Eve 07/08 which i will never forget! It was funny us all dressed up! You looked gorgeous!
Ill never forget you Katie, & I am glad that i met you, you became one of my best friends
We was supposed to go out on my birthday but you were already gone :(
I was only in your company about half a dozen times but we always had fun. Fun you'd have if we'd known each other years, but we hadnt, just a couple of months.
They always say you never know what you had til its gone, very true. What i had was an amazing friend and it was too late before i realised it.
Ill always be your steffy, and as you always used to say, ' i love my steffy '
I love you too :)
