Although I didn't know this young beautiful lady, i know people that did. Ever since the story was reported my heart has gone out to the family. This is soo sad! May God help the family to find peace during this most difficult time. I can't begin to imagine what they are feeling.
I am waiting patiently to hear that the people involved have been caught.

I don't understand why the police still have not solved this crime. If it was one of their own they would have solved it by now. I know LAPD does not want to solve this crime because of her race. If I was a detective I would get her phone records go to her house for any info and talk to everyone she last talked too. I also have found the media lying on her being pregnant and saying it was drug related. Get your facts correct MEDIA don't report just to report.

— God Bless, thats one of the more uninformed posts I've read.
What evidence do you have that the police are not working to solve the crime? Has it occured to you they have a suspect but dont have enough to arrest or convict the person?
Ever think this might be a random crime where the evidence and motivation is non existent?
Please think before you make these wild accusations.

What are you blaming the police for? Seriously. They didn't do it. Pray for strength and comfort to the family, that is what is needed and hope that someone knows something and will come forward in whatever form or fashion.

To the family of this beautiful young lady. May God give you the enourmous amount of strength it will take to get you through this. It is my understanding that this was bowleg Lisa's daughter. To Lisa, I attended Bethune Middle with you and remember you as a happy and outgoing person. My husband is a friend of PT's. Very ironic. Our hearts go out to the both of you and your family.

May God bless your soul Cris. They are going to solve this case, don't worry. You were a beautiful person inside and out. I'll always miss you, and you'll forever be in my heart. I'll miss your smile most, but your energy, will never be forgotten. RIP Cris, I love u!

I hope at some point, a witness or information comes in that can help the police solve this homicide. The police can only do so much, they can't just go out and arrest someone without facts and evidence. It took over 20 years to solve the Grim Sleeper murders and arrest someone.

In GOD'S Name,
PEACE & Remembrance

it's a shame nobody has a clue as to why this young lady and her baby had to lose their precious lives. What was the reason for her being in the area? who was she meeting?

Thanks everyone for your love and concern about my sisters death. The person who took her life is now behind bars. Althought it won't ever bring her back, our family have some type of justice.
