The service for Sasha Krause will be held at 4 p.m. Friday at Summit Church, 1200 E. 30th St. in Farmington. The memorial, which will be open to the public, will be hosted by the Farmington Mennonite Church, where Krause was a member. Krause\u2019s funeral was held last week in Texas.<\/p>\n
Krause, who was missing for more than a month before her body was found, lived near the Farmington Mennonite Church with a few other women who often traveled together, according to the San Juan County Sheriff\u2019s Office. She taught Sunday school, worked at Lamp & Light Publishers and had a good relationship with her parents who live in Texas, according to the Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n
Her body was found Feb. 21 near Sunset Crater National Monument in Arizona, and a few days later, the Coconino County Sheriff\u2019s Office in Arizona confirmed her identity using fingerprints collected at the scene that were matched with her Texas driver\u2019s license record. Krause\u2019s body was found by a camper near Forest Road 545, according to the Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old woman was last seen leaving her home about 8 p.m. Jan. 18 near the Farmington Mennonite Church on Road 5577, according to the initial news release from the San Juan County Sheriff\u2019s Office. Deputies were dispatched at 3 a.m. Jan. 19 to Krause\u2019s work, which is connected with the church. Her vehicle was found parked at the church, near her home. The Sheriff\u2019s Office said investigators found objects in her home that Krause would have taken had she left willingly, leading them to say her disappearance was suspicious from the outset.<\/p>\n
