WASHINGTON - The death of Moammar Gadhafi ends a 23 year vigil for two local moms who lost their children when he ordered a terrorist to bomb Pan Am Flight 103. It went down over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing 270 people.
Elizabeth Vrenios' son Nicholas, was one of 35 Syracuse University students on board. They'd been studying abroad and were headed home on December 21, 1988.
"He was coming home for Christmas, "Vrenios says.
Vrenios and her husband had driven to New York from Bethesda to get Nicholas and got the news about the bombing when they arrived at the airport.
"Still to this day, we can't believe we went through this," she says.
Gadhafi’s death is what she needed to finally move on, 23 years later.

I went to high school with Louise Rogers and knew her well. I've been waiting a long time for her family to get justice. I'm glad they finally have some closure.
