There was a moment of silence at a candlelight vigil in Gresham, Oregon, Saturday.

Mourners gathered to remember a 21-year-old Starbucks barista who was killed.

The body of Whitney Heichel was found on Friday on a local mountain.

She'd been missing for days.

A 24-year-old man who lived in the same apartment complex as Heichel and her husband has been charged with murder.

Heichel was reported missing after she failed to show up for work Tuesday.
