As Kim Wall's murder trial begins, friends seeking 'justice' hope her legacy empowers women journalists
At one point, Wall even allowed a traditional Marshallese healer perform an exorcism on her by rubbing coconut oil all over her stomach and apparently dispelling some type of spirit, according to Coleen Jose, Wall's friend who was the lead photographer for the reporting trip.
"She was always open and respectful of the culture," Jose, 27, said in a telephone interview Friday. "You could see it in her words, too."
Wall was the lead writer for the stories they produced from their weeks spent on the Marshall Islands, as well as in Arkansas, where some Marshallese seeking a better life have moved. A three-part multimedia project from their reporting trip was published Feb. 25, more than six months after Wall's death and less than two weeks before the trial for her brutal murder begins.
