"I just ask that people out there, if they hear anything or if they see anything … somebody knows something, somebody's talked to somebody, somebody has … they slip up along the way," Mary Williams told WRAL. "So somebody's got to know something, and I just pray that whoever does know anything comes forward and that we're able to get justice for Heather."
Mary Williams added that her sister "loved her family and she loved Jesus" and "worked really hard."
