More than 1,000 mourners packed a resort lodge and overflowed tents in Nisswa Minnesota for the funeral of Dru Sjodin 22 who disappeared from a Grand Forks mall in April and was found five months later. The service reflected a shift from shock to anger to fear as the community said farewell and pressed for renewed attention to missing people. Her burial at Pinewood Cemetery in Crosslake followed a dove release by her mother and a final pink flower on the casket.
