The not finding her killer, while it's hard, is not unexpected. You would hope somebody would have been found out somehow you know it's always just kind of been something i gotta hope that they meet their judgment someday or already have you know there's been every once while something comes up it's like oh this person sounds like they could have been a suspect and nothing really ever comes of

The only person I know of right now that I never really got any closure on whether he's involved is William Zamestil.

Well, I don't know exactly what went on during those 16 months. I don't even know if I knew it was affecting me, you know. It just kind of is one of those things when you're 17, 18, that kind of molds you, you know, don't really know that it's molding you at the time. But, uh, yeah, I mean, it was hard on my parents. It was really hard on them for all that time.

They're, you know, up there in years. You know, Dad's 95 and Mom's 91. So the fact that they've, just the fact that they've had to leave Sorry. They've had to live with this for a long time.

I saw them age quite a bit or rapidly, I should say. Because it's the unknown that really, really wears on you. To find out what happened is hard. But to not find out what happened is harder.

You know, I remember acquaintances of hers saying, oh, she's dead. You know, I thought that was rather harsh. But we'd had no reason to believe that she would disappear without telling any of us or her cousins. I mean, she was real close with her cousin, Michelle. So there was no reason to believe that she disappeared on her own. As far as I could tell, it wasn't going to be good.

I know my parents were very frustrated after the fact that they had just relied on the Illinois authorities. And it wasn't until they, my parents talked to a local law enforcement person that they actually got any connection made. People in Chicago really did let them down. At least, you know, that's how they feel.
