Eli Sanders of 11th Ave-headquartered The Stranger has been awarded a 2012 Pulitzer Prize for his work documenting the story of South Park attack victim Jennifer Hopper.
His June 2011 report — The Bravest Woman in Seattle — came as the trial of Isaiah Kalebu for his 2009 attack played out. Hopper and her partner, Teresa Butz, were brutally assaulted. Butz was murdered. Kalebu, eventually, was sentenced to life in prison. Hopper survived and Sanders documented her testimony and pain.

I remember when Norbert’s sister was murdered. The excellent journalist who covered the case won the Pulitzer Prize for his reporting.
