Statement from the family of Margaux Powers

June 1, 2008

We are completely devastated by the loss of Margaux. She was an extremely loving and loyal daughter, sister, granddaughter and a joy to our family. A life long resident of Glen Cove, she was a 2005 graduate of Cornell University and recently moved to Manhattan where she was pursuing a career in finance. Margaux was a sweet, caring young woman and a friend to all who were lucky enough to know her.

We were so proud of all she had accomplished and the person she had become. We were looking forward to watching her life continue to blossom and she was very excited about going to graduate school. But her future has been tragically cut short and we are overcome with grief.

We appreciate the work of the 10th Precinct of the New York City Police Department. Their investigation is on going. No further statements will be made by the family. Please respect our privacy as we go through the process of laying Margaux to rest. We ask that you keep Margaux and us in your prayers.

Michael S. Powers, Father
