About

Spartan

The 20-year-old international relations junior’s body was discovered Jan. 9 at Brassie Golf Course in Chesterton, Ind.


Cotter died of blunt force trauma to the chest and abdomen, said Porter County Coroner Victoria Deppe. The cause of the trauma is still unknown, but police are treating Cotter’s death as a homicide.


More than 60 mourners gathered for a candlelight vigil in Cotter’s honor. But there were more smiles than tears as friends relived fond memories of Cotter.

Memories

Special

Marta Sep 25, 2010

I had a couple classes with Rylan at James Madison.. She always brightened up the room and made people laugh. I loved sitting next to her because I knew it'd make the class go by faster :-) She's a special person.. Very down to earth, that's what I noticed right away about her. She made everyone around her feel comfortable because she was so genuine and kind.. I'll always remember her smiling.

Not forgotten....

Rylan, you are in our thoughts and prayers every single day.

Not forgotten..

Mrs Gardner Mar 13, 2010

We will continue to seek the truth, leaving no stone unturned.

Never Forget!

Donna Jordan Jan 23, 2009

Some are with us for a long time and some you only get to wish were with you for a long time! Rylan was loved and will never be forgotten by those in her life. They will never stop searching for the truth,for the reason that they lost her in such a sudden and brutal way! Some one, some where,knows something!! PLEASE do the right thing and call the police, give Rylan's family and friends the closure of knowing why someone would do this and being able to see justice done. Rest in peace Rylan
