Here is a pretty candid interview with Rodney and his mother Doreen, the heartbreak and anger is apparent, they didn't hold back, and Doreen said that Rafferty was at the very first candlelight vigil that was held for Tori 4 days after she went missing. Worth a watch.

Randy Richmond of the Lonond Free Press who in my opinion has done a brilliant job of reporting Tori's story from the very beginning wrote a great article about Tori and why she will always matter.
Snippet: A few nights ago, almost in tears, my wife said to me:
"So this is it? Once the trial is over we're all supposed to just forget about Tori? When it's all over, she's really gone and no one remembers her again?"
The first answer I gave to my wife is one I believe to be true.
"I think people will remember her."
The second thing I said is something I know to be true.
"I'm going to miss her."
That is, I know, a strange thing for someone who never met Tori Stafford to say.
Today, you'll read how Tori's death ripped apart the lives of those closest to her. The strength of her family astonishes.
I'm exhausted and scarred merely from thinking and writing about her death. But I'll try my best here to explain why Tori will always matter to me, and the thousands and thousands of other Canadians touched
