Bates Jr. He said that he and his wife were on the East Coast when they got the news that Pam was found and faced some important decisions such whether to hold a small graveside service or a public memorial service. But he said, "Pam deserved an event; this is a big day and I think that the number of people at this service shows we were right." He told the congregation that he felt Pam was at the service. He also said that family members have "displayed great character" and felt no bitterness recrimination. and no Among those at the memorial service were Springville Police Chief Leylend Bowers and other Springville Police authorities. There were also FBI agents among the congregation.
