Krystle M. Campbell of Arlington, Mass. was one of three who were killed in the deadly attack (Facebook)

Campbell's father told Yahoo News that his daughter had been near the finish line to cheer for her friend's boyfriend who was running the marathon when the shrapnel-laden bombs exploded. Campbell's friend, Karen, was taken to the hospital in critical condition and, in the initial confusion from the attack, Campbell's father was told his daughter was still alive before authorities confirmed she was among the dead. 

From Yahoo:

"My daughter was the most lovable girl. She helped everybody, and I'm just so shocked right now. We're just devastated,"  (William A. Campbell Jr) said. "She was a wonderful, wonderful girl. Always willing to lend a hand."

The Medford, Mass. native and former University of Massachusetts-Boston student was described by her grandmother as the kind of woman who never missed a marathon and who worked up to 80 hour weeks while in school. 

As Neon Tommy reported earlier, the other identified victim was 8-year-old Martin Richard, who was there alongside family to cheer friends participating in the race.

The third victim has not yet been identified, but Boston University confirmed Tuesday it was a Chinese national graduate student attending the school. 

Investigators also confirmed to the Boston Globe on Wednesday that they recovered circuitry boards used to deonate the bombs and could be used to idenitfy those responsible for the attack.
