    People attend a grief circle for Anesha "Duffy" Murnane on Wednseday, May 18, 2022, at WKFL Park in Homer, Alaska. A Homer man has been charged with the murder and kidnapping of Murnane, who went missing on Oct. 17, 2019. The circle was held to give people a chance to mourn and remember Murnane. 
Homer artist Mavia Muller built a basket for people to place spruce cones in as tokens of memory for Murnane. Muller said the smaller basket will be place in the next Burning Basket, to be called "Breathe."
"It feels like after years of holding our breath we can finally breathe," Muller said at the grief circle.
