Join In October 2012, Kimberly Gerlach went to a birthday party with her boyfriend Nathan Miller and their friends, Brodie and Colin Liddell. After the party, they all went to a bar for more drinks. When the bar closed for the night, Gerlach and Brodie made their way back to Miller’s second-story unit at The Cove Apartments, while Miller and Colin went to a convenience store. As Gerlach headed up to her boyfriend’s apartment, Brodie stayed outside to smoke. While he was smoking, Brodie heard a sharp sound and turned to see Gerlach falling headfirst from the balcony of Miller’s apartment. She landed on the concrete steps below with the decayed balcony railing beside her.
