Five years to the day that Berne-Knox-Westerlo kindergartner Kenneth White was murdered by his cousin in their Knox home, a vigil was held by Kenneth’s Army at the place his body was found, across Thacher Park Road from the trailer where he had he lived. State Senator George Amedore places a wreath on the cross marking the spot while Sheriff Craig Apple looks on.

In the midst of a bitter-cold snow squall, Claire Ansbro-Ingalls of Kenneth's Army tells the 15 or so people that had gathered for a vigil — holding glow sticks instead of candles in the wind — “We cannot forget what happened in this quiet little town.” The group’s new motto, she said, is: Not one more child, Next to Ansbro-Ingalls is Dawn Gibson; both are original members of Kennth's Army. Those at the vigil sang “Silent Night,” and an East Berne fire truck sounded its horn five times.

“We are trying to save kids,” said Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple who oversaw the investigation that put Tiffany VanAlstyne in prison for murdering her 5-year-old cousin, Kenneth White whom she called her best buddy.
