Bealer was charged with the murder of Nichols, the Red Bluff teen who went miss- ing Feb. 26, 2013, with her body later found about a half mile from Red Bluff High School on Feb. 28, 2013. Judge Delbert Oros, who pre- sided over the nine-week trial in Sacramento, said it was impor- tant to bring the case back to Red Bluff and thanked the community for their efforts to welcome him to Tehama County. "I felt it was important to re- turn to the community to bring this to a conclusion," Oros said. "This case had a significant im- pact on the community and I felt the return was an important part of closure for the community and my staff." Curtis Nichols, the 16-year-old brother of Marysa, was the first of the family to address the judge with a statement. Just 14 months younger than Nichols, she was the closest family member to him, his best friend. "My stomach has turned a thousand times over and I've had to force myself to breathe," Nich- ols said. "I've cried enough tears to drown in and begged the night- mare to end." Nichols said his sister's mur- der has changed who he is, leav- ing him more depressed than he's ever been and facing insomnia. He also is left fearing for the fe- males in his life, that this could happen again. "It has taken a toll on me be- cause of Quentin Ray Bealer," Nichols said. "In closing, I want you to know the affect. She died Feb. 26, 2013, and so did I because of you."

The artwork at the Tehama Campus is titled Seeking Or- der, representing the compo- nents of higher education. Each 12- by 12-inch piece represents an area of curricu- lum in college such as art, lit- erature and English class. All the pieces put together repre- sent the college experience and the structure of higher educa- tion as a whole. Phillips, who is now retired, started off his career as an art educator and moved into con- struction. As a general con- tractor and a independent con- tractor as a state inspector, he worked on the main cam- pus of Shasta College in Red- ding and at the Tehama Cam- pus when buildings were being built. There he used his artis- tic side to bring his artwork to the school. The two other artistic sculp- ture Phillips created represent education and learning as well. He created artwork at the Shasta College main campus in Redding outside the Learn- ing Research Center and out- side the Redding Library. The pillars feature ceramic pieces throughout and were created by Paul Rideout, who worked with the college and participated in the physical work of creating these pillars, Phillips said.
