Mary "Katie" Connell, a Base jumper whose tragic final leap was recorded by her companion's GoPro last week, was the kind of person who would "sneak into your heart and never leave," her close friend, Leigh Scarber, tells People. "I am devastated," Scarber says. "Her car is still at my house and her things are untouched in her room. Her room still smells like her: pleasant and soft, like fresh laundry." Connell was an avid Base jumper who died during a jump from Bixby Bridge in Big Sur, California, after missing her landing target and getting swept away by a wave.
