GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – While investigators continue to search for a suspect in the murder of Suzette Langlois this week in Bellevue, another murder case continues as a family awaits answers.
Back in May, the body of Nicole VanderHeyden was found in a field on Hoffman Road, which is also in Bellevue.
“It’s only three months after and it’s still so hard to accept what’s happening,” Vicki Meyer, mother of Nicole VanderHeyden, told FOX 11.
“It’s insanely hard. There’s tons of ups and downs just trying to keep our heads up and try to keep busy with our own lives,” said Heather Meyer, VanderHeyden’s sister.
Just 48 hours after her body was found, officials made an arrest in VanderHeyden’s murder. However, there wasn’t enough evidence for prosecutors to file charges.
“We have no answers yet whatsoever,” Vicki Meyer said.
Heather Meyer said their family is still looking to raise money for funeral expenses and the 3 children VanderHeyden left behind.
“Just to help her kids give them the life she would have wanted and also towards her memorial costs and things like that,” she said.
Next month, a golf outing will be held to remember Nicole and raise money in her honor.
“We just want her spirit to stay alive and people to remember who she was and how great of a person she was,” Vicki Meyer said.
The golf outing in memory of VanderHeyden will be held September 17 at the Woods Golf Club. It will include a buffet style dinner, 50/50 raffle and silent auction.
