Remembering Patricia Alatorre, one year later
and last updated 2021-07-03 02:34:13-04
For some, Patricia Alatorre is known as âBakersfield s daughter.â She has been gone from the community for exactly a year now, but a march from 19th and L streets to the Liberty Bell in Bakersfield, Thursday night showed sheâs not forgotten.
âI have a daughter her age, her daughter that passed, and itâs just very meaningful to me,â Kathya Najera, a close friend to Patricia Alatorreâs mother, said.
She created a balloon bouquet in Patriciaâs honor, as Thursday marked exactly a year since the 13-year-old was taken from her family and the community that calls her daughter. Najera said the bouquet represents many things.
