My son was friends with her! My thoughts and prayers go out to her family! Please keep your negative comments off this page, show some respect!!!!!

Natalie was a great girl so funny and she would help any one. I knew her for almost a year now. We met on a train that we both took every day. I'm gonna miss u girl!! RIP NAT

I think people should stay out of it like Jess said. Its the cops job. No one else.

we were with natalie all day last thursday and she was soo amazing, funny, and absolutely beautiful. I didnt know her very well till that day but god rest her soul. We love you nat.
Bre and wayne

zigga zigga zigga nat.

Prayers to her family and friends, so sad!

There can be time for prayers but honestly how many dead bodies are found in new Hanover? I had to Google it. People don't typically drop dead in a cornfield. If she hung out with shady types..... I mean her myspace Page screams stripper or worse then find the scumbags who did this and close this chapter for her family.

Natalie was a good person and a great friend to all. R.I.P Nat you will be missed

I am so sorry for the loss of this beautiful young woman, my thoughts and prayer go out to all the family and friends. Please don't post negitive comments about her, the family is going through a very hard time. Post happy things that you remember about her and the memories you have of her. I don't even know her, but I know as a parent my heart hurts for her Mom and Dad. No parent should have to burrie their child!!!!

No one is even saying any neg comments about her!! Just her boyfriend. And people are just talking about her pages that she put out for the public. And what she put out herself just doesn't look good. That's all that's being said! Like someone said above, this is a public site for anyone to respectfully express opinion!! If you don't like it then respond to it and state your own arguement.

^ Destin you are correct on every thought of her. She was trouble looking for trouble. I known her for 5yrs and her boyfriend since I was in 2nd grade....its sad but not suprising to me

Not an admission of guilt or innocence but maybe the patch reporters can find out more about this case..... it happened last week.

Also she has a summary harrassment charge against her again patch... do some digging help find who did this....

Accusing someone of a crime is defamatory. Please refrain from making comments of that nature, as they violate our terms. Patch continues to investigate this case and will post updates as they are available.

Hey Breane,
Last thursday is when she got aressted... were you there? Maybe the police should see if you know anything. The tire tracks found by her body.... im sure they took plaster casts and can figure out what type of car/truck it was..... maybe you can help

@Destin - We are grateful for your efforts, and please do know, we are sorting through information from sources, public records, etc. If you – or anyone else – have non-public information, feel free to contact me at (215) 284-3903 or keith.heffintrayer@patch.com.

Thank you.

Keith and Melissa,
Thanks for the feedback. I just think these types of cases are the things patch communities can really help local law enforcement out with. I know I live in the suburban mentality. Which is hey stuff like this happens in the city not here. But when it does happen here I look for a quick resolution and yes I feel for the family but also this effects the community too. Think of the guy and his kid who found the body? Its the type of event that needs addressing and hashing out which I think you guys are doing a great job of doing. This 24 hour news cycle and even our local affiliates with 5 plus hours of news a day will forget about this story by the weekend. I hope you will not.

I think this thread between Jess and big jon should be removed. If they have something to say go to the police.

So what you are all saying is based on her fb and myspace page its okay that she passed. If she had pictures up of her self being a loving step mom, or a great friend a student and person who may have struggled but she pushed through everything with a smile on her face - then there would be no negative comments. Thats the type of person Nat and her Fiance were, they would do anything for you. they were loving parents and great friends and when Nat was around you, you just smiled because of her personality . Imagine her as you would your daughter or your sister, even if they may have messed up in life you would still show their memory with respect and it would really tick you off that people are sitting there bad mouthing them and insulting her memory. You should be ashamed of youself.

From the information presented to me and the digging that I have done on my own regarding the victim...the chances seem pretty good that she may have overdosed and whomever she was with was more concerned for their own well being and dumped her body. It would not be the first time a drug user has dumped another drug user's body.

It is a very tragic end to such a beautiful young girl's life. I read that a family member had said she was working to overcome issues with drug and alcohol. My heart does go out to her family and I hope they find justice for their daughter and I also hope that my theory is incorrect.

After reading some of these comments, I am appalled at all negative things being said. Does anyone know what respect means? If you want to say bad things go to your fb, twitter etc and comment among yourselves. We should be reflecting on how the family and friends are feeling. No one has respect or compassion these days.

Sharon - I am so glad someone else shares my view

I agree Crystal, I knew Natalie when she was little and she was a sweet girl, everyone has their skeletons in their closet, we all make mistakes and have our faults, that doesnt condone any violence towards someone, just because she lived a crazy lifestyle or whatever she did doesnt mean it is ok that she was killed. Murder is never ok!! My thoughts and prayers are with her family in this great time of loss. A death is a great loss no matter if the person has committed crimes or has lived the life of a saint...its a life lost and its tragic!! May you Rest In Peace Natalie, you can now be reuinted with your baby girl!

Resident4 show some respect to her and her family what because she had a Dui she ran with a bad crowd? Senators get Dui do they run with a bad crowd? Stay off this page!!!!

For anyone who may be posting negitive comments about this young girl. Please do not act like an angel on a throne, as if you have NEVER done anything wrong in your whole life. What if something as terrible as this happened to you??? Would you want people saying horrible things about any of you? I mean for gods sakes a life has been lost....R.I.P

I don't personally know this young girl , bit nobody has the right to take her life. She is somebody's baby . Why judge her? He who is without sin cast the first stone. Pray for her family because their pain is indescribable

My heart breaks for her family!!!!!

I can't beleave what people are saying on here! This poor girl has lost her life a 26 and you digging up her personal life. Who ever runs this site should have the content posted removed and the person band!

I feel sick to my stomach reading some of these comments!!!! A mother has.to bury her daughter and ur looking at photos from myspace?!?!?! Noone walks in anyone shoes so judging pictures makes u a fool... God some people really need to learn RESPECT...

Some of you people on here amaze me! It's not like any one on here said she deserved this or anything. (from the comments I see cause it seems like some were removed.) When something like this happens in a quite, peaceful community the residents there worry about it. That is pretty much a crime free area. So since this happened most people want the background info and all the details. If someone hurt this girl and left here there in that field and she was an innocent drug free person who has done no wrong then it could happen to anyone else in that area. But since she did battle a drug addiction and she has a violent criminal background it does make it different. I a sorry for the people who lost her and her family and friends. It's not a heartless thing to look into it and discuss it with the community. And it doesn't make her a bad person at all that she had some problems. We all do. I had my own addiction problems. God bless her and may she rest in peace and I will pray for her family.

nat i miss u so much already. i cant believe this is happening. u were such a sweet funny outgoing and friendly girl. you were a great friend to me. when we first met we got really close and one day you told me you wanted me to be apart of your wedding and that we were going to always be there for eachother,. you took me under your wing and i did the same to you and hearing this news totally breaks my heart. i hope you are at peace sweetie. i hope you know that you will always be in my heart. i hope they find out what happened to you :( god bless your family and your fiance and anyone else whose life you have touched. watch over all of us xo love you nat <3

I am overly nauseated at some of people's comments on here. The fear that has gone thru the community is not what is being addressed, or the respect and privacy of this poor girl, or her family in what she did in the background. I don't know this girl but am heartbroken by the news. My prayers go out to all family and friends.
Now with that being said.... My goodness, have people sunk so low as to dig around for negative information to post just to get their "15 mins" of fame? Or attention that does not belong to them? I could care less about anyone's comments that will follow this post, so please don't waste your time or energy. I simply wanted to let the family and friends of this girl know that there is another person out there that is praying that god will help them with this soon.

For everyone who has sent their sympathy the family of this beautiful woman thank you we all have to wait to see what really happened based on unrealeased info

I'm didn't hear anyone say murder was ok?? I think most of you are losing your rational minds. If you don't want information in the public don't put it out to the public (Facebook or MySpace). This girl at some point seems to have "Fallin down". It's sucks and maybe she was on the road back BUT as I tell my children there are consequences for your actions (i am in NO WAY speaking of the murder but everyone talkin about her past). No one that I can see (some threads were deleted) has said anything horrid. Stating thingS they found in very public forums that either the girl herself posted or the judicial system posted does no constitue being mean.
Let's all live a good decent life and no one will have to worry what is said about us when we are gone. In the end does it matter what strangers or certain others say??? What matters is what the people that loved her and knew her best held in their heart for her. May she rest in peace regardless of what type of person she was or was not...she/everyone deserves that.

All of you posting these negative comments are judging a person you didnt know. Everyone has a past, we are all human and make mistakes. Natalie was human, she meant a lot to the people who knew her. I am sick to my stomach that in this situation you all want to view her history and judge. What is wrong with people today? Just let it be. Let her family & friends grieve and remember the good times without people like you reminding everyone of the negative. She was a friend of mine and I hate reading comments that are judging her negatively. Take your comments and your conversation and go somewhere else. This should be reserved for the memories and good times. Thanks.

Jess:
Let her r.i.p., i believe in what comes around goes around.
Who are you kidding that these things do not happen in New Hanover two: I know it has happened in perkiomenville, boyertown etc. what concerns me who killed her because it could happen again and again. Murderers are terrible people.

Jess - You started this entire mess. King st mayor is right.

Yes Brando... I am an ass. Thanks for noticing. I am also someone that can see not just black and white... but the grey area too. Don't be so naive.

Joanna... Wesboro Church logic? You're ridiculous. Just because I stated a FACT of PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE means that I am "picketing her death"? Get a grip lady. I NEVER once said that I didn't feel for her family or think that she should die because of her bad decisions in life. The community has a right to know if an innocent girl (who has done nothing bad in her life) is killed, or if a girl that has a past (doesn't mean that she should have been killed or died) may have caught up to her. Either way... it's tragic. But I should also know if I am safe to leave my house. Thanks.

This is not a memorial page - it is a news report. I am just writing as a fellow reader of the news. Jess, you have done nothing wrong but if I were you I would just stop responding to everyone. It may be appropriate to start a real memorial page for this poor young woman whose life was cut way too short (regardless of her background). It's a sad thing but we have to all remember that patch is a news website - not a memorial website so let's try and all respect everyone.

I didn't know this girl but Jess seriously? A girl is dead and you guys are in here internet trolling, degrading her character through speculation before the facts have been released. Say what you want amongst yourselves but to do so in a public LOCAL forum is just callus and classless... just because your profile says youre from "Naasssstown" doesnt mean you cant act with more class.

It doesn't matter if a person has a past or not, if she was murdered then obviously you should be concerned either way, and as a FAMILY member we got word that the TOXICOLOGY reports are NEGATIVE

resident4, jess and anyone defending themselves and their opinion or arguing with the sensible people on the page.

Sit back, take your hands of the key board and mouse. Sit back and review this in your head. Imagine tour daughter

Your daughters running around the house laughing, telling you how much they love you and how sorry they are for messing up. Imagine the glow in her eye when she comes home and feels accomplished by the amazing things in her life that she is about to do. Imagine a knock at the door the next day informing you that your beloved daughter, is dead. No matter how much she messed up she is still your baby girl. Now imagine yourself in this patch reading these things.... Great image to have of your daughter, must feel amazing to have her memory tarnished in a public place. Her fb and her MySpace were her way of venting. Her MySpace hasn't been used since 08 and her fb is private to everyone except her FRIENDS. So what are you judging her on. Her past, now that all her skeletons are out of her closet why don't you guys start throwing yours out.

Once again, we have deleted comments that violate our terms of service, as well as the replies to those comments. Keep it clean, and remember that these people are your neighbors.

Please read our terms of service if you need further clarification http://perkiomenvalley.patch.com/terms.

If someone from my block was found dead in a field id grieve for the family but id also be asking questions. Was this a random act of violence or is it a bigger issue that affects everyone around me. Murders are not common in this county. The who what and why are critical.

All of you with the negative comments should be blocked off this page..... you stupid immature dumb people.... I knew Natalie and she was a sweetheart ..... my heart goes out to her and her family. And Natalie R.I.P. baby girl..... You will be missed and never forgotten ..... I love you, Stay ;)

How sad that the tragedy of a troubled young woman's death can degenerate into strangers attacking strangers on the internet. Whatever her background or however she died (authorities haven't indicated that it was murder), she didn't deserve to be abandoned like an unwanted pet. Yes, morbid curiousity about a mysterious death is only human, but the humane thing to do is not inflict further pain on the person's loved ones by pointing to unsavory things in her background. Of course we have the right to exercise free speech, but how about exercising restraint? What if she were your daughter, sister, friend, etc.? It has nothing to do with the supposed lack of crime in Perkiomenville, because there have been several murders, suicides and other violence in our local community in recent years. My condolences to the family and friends of Natalie, and I hope whoever is responsible for her ending up the way she did is brought to justice.

first of all, no one knows the cause of death. so, stop saying she was murdered. the incident that happened last week with the cops was because of a dispute between her and a neighbor/ long time friend. natalie was not AT ALL in the wrong during that argument. natalie was betrayed by her so called "friend". you people dont know what you're talking about. SO STAY OUT OF IT. i dont care if this is a memorial page or tosh.o... you're talking crap on a person thats dead!... that you dont even know! no one wants to read your indecent bullsh*t. if they were so interested, they would google her name to see her records.. not come to a news page and look through comments to see if people are putting her business out there. you guys are just pathetic. natalie was an awesome person. i love and miss you, girly! may you rest in peace<3

And we all have perfect lives, filled with no embarrassing, shameful, or regretful acts.....really? Throw the stones, oh perfect ones!!!!! Bottom line is a young girls life was cut short,whether by foul play or not, it is sad. Have some compassion and respect ....u would not want ur death to be someone's blog of the day.

I feel sorry for her family.I hope thing will get better soon.May my god bless her family

I have a Facebook page, but I haven't been on it for almost a year, sometimes I go months without checking my email, and I have never posted on a site like this before. I felt compelled to comment here, and now, however, because I was so saddened for this beautiful girl and her family, and so appalled by the words of a few. 

To those few who will not be named, I want you to stop and think of your child - or of the person you love the most, if you don't have a child. I want you to think of how you would feel if they died - and then how much worse - died under questionable circumstances. Then think about how terrible you would feel if people - people who knew NOTHING about you and NOTHING about your loved one started digging into your loved one's past, making unspoken implications and assumptions and doing so under the guise of "free speech" and "for the community". You are a liar if you say it wouldn't bother you, hurt you - that it wouldn't be absolutely devastating and agonizing.

If you feel the need to respond defensively to my comments, then you have done something wrong. No, not illegal, but humanly and morally WRONG. That's okay, though - everyone makes mistakes - we wouldn't be human if we didn't. Who you are depends on how you handle those mistakes, however.

To be continued...

Post continued...

Those who are honorable own up to their mistakes - and try not to repeat them. Those who know no honor will deny their mistakes, use misdirection, and they will continue to make the same mistake over and over, in a futile attempt to make their mistake "right". 

To those few who won't be named, if you have just one ounce of HONOR, if you are even remotely HUMAN, then just don't say another word. Let these people mourn in peace and accept the condolences of WELL-WISHERS, not make them endure salt rubbed in their open wounds.

To everyone who is saddened/angered/hurt by the inappropriate comments made, I suggest that you do not respond in any way if a future inappropriate remark is made. Ignore them & pretend they're not there, because anything said by a troll is not worth your attention, not even worth your time to read, think about or respond. If no further remarks are made, then please forgive those who made the inappropriate posts, as they are showing honor by owning their mistakes, and not repeating them. 

To the family of this beautiful girl - please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss. I am so sorry that you have to go through this, and I pray that God will bring you closure and peace, and that your little girl is now being held lovingly in His arms.
