Found this interview given by David Markham (Katelyn's father) on 4 September.
“Katelyn’s a very remarkable, enthusiastic, energetic woman. For 22 years old, she’s known what she wanted for the past two or three years. She set her goals to achieve them—checking them off one by one,” he said.
One of those goals was graduating from college with her bachelor’s degree, which she was getting ready to do. She was learning about graphic design, but her dad said she was ready for something different because of the tough economy. She was thinking of her future.
“Seeing how the job market is flat, particularly in the commercial arts and the graphics design business. She was going to venture out, try something new before she got into her career," David said. "Now’s the perfect time to do it before you get started, and you know, I thought it was great. She’s maturing and growing up to be a nice, responsible tribute to society.”
And he’s not the only one who thought so.
“I’ve had a lot of friends and co-workers who have talked about her lately and said that how she made their day better, just by her attitude. Everybody has those days that they don’t want to go to work or be there, tired or whatever, just don’t feel like it. And they said that when she got there, they tend to forget that and have a good day. So the influence that she had on people was remarkable.”

No where in the interview does he mention that Katelyn was engaged. Neither does he mention John Carter.
