There is a Wikipedia page on "The Murder of Nancy Pfister."  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Nancy_Pfister  As of October 28, 2020, this Wikipedia page contained this sentence:  "In 2015, Carpenter, along with Pfister's daughter, petitioned the city of Aspen to have Nancy Pfister's name added to the "In Memory Of Friends Of Aspen" shrine in Snowmass Village, Colorado. The shrine honors Colorado natives and former Aspen residents, such as John Denver and Molly Brown. Her name was added in 2016."  (Note, the shrine is on Aspen Mountain and not in Snowmass Village.)
