We Are Lebanon, Pa is a positivity project to tell stories of citizens of Lebanon, Pennsylvania. At times, we do a special series of videos to further other causes. The Kortne Stouffer Project is just that.
We Are Lebanon, Pa plans to release a new interview with one of Kortne’s family members or friends every two weeks from now until the 10th anniversary of her disappearance. The hope is that these stories might reach someone who has information, any information, that might lead to finding out what happened to her almost 10 years ago.
Julie Keiter was so close to the Stouffer family that she was known as her nickname instead of Julie. Her close friendship with Kortne’s younger sister Kerstin meant that Kortne treated her like a sister too. Kerstin and Julie both share fun memories of Kortne doing all those amazing things that a cool older sister would do. And, like Kerstin, Julie also deals with the loss of Kortne’s presence in her life. In this interview Julie shares stories about Kortne and how her disappearance has affected her life.
