Elizabeth was my sister. It's been almost 14yrs since she was murdered. Although my sisters case went to trial than having to deal with a hung jury the court eventually found her murderer not guilty. There was so much more evidence that could have been collected yet the LAPD neglected to try harder to solve her case. The detectives were led on by clues that family had given them, not by their own investigation. A bloody palm print of the man who killed my sister was presented but was not enough to convince the jury. I wish there was some way to find justice for my sister. Who because of this one person has left her family and her 4 children without a mother not to mention all her immediate family. A grieveing mother, grandmother, brothers, sisters, nieces and newphews. Till this day 14yrs later I still continue to miss her and remember everything like it was yesterday. It's the nightmare I live with all the time. My sister has found peace now for she is with the lord unfortunately here on earth is her family who continue to grieve and feel the pain of losing her. I love you and miss you my sister.
