00:00Yeah, she was my best friend. So we would always play Barbies together, play ponies.

00:08I could pretty much make her do anything. I was just her little brat sister, but I don't know,

00:15we were just so close. So yeah, there was just, she never said no. She was always happy to just

00:21do whatever was going to make me happy as a little kid. And yeah, we shared a room and it was just

00:28pink and just very girly. And it's, I don't know, it was just this gorgeous friendship and relationship

00:36between two sisters. It was, yeah, it was really gorgeous.

00:44I'm hoping that some fresh information will come to light and help police solve the case

00:49because, you know, 25 years, it's a long time to go without any answers and the what ifs, you know,

00:56what sort of mother would she have been? What sort of life would she have led? You know,

01:03all these things are taken away from her and extra enjoyment we could have got out of life

01:08having her involved in our lives. Every little bit of information you've got can help no matter

01:14how small. It could be what breaks the case. And, you know, and if you've got some information,

01:20bring it out. There's a big reward on offer for any information to help solve it and it'd be much

01:27appreciated on our part. There is a reward of, you know, a million dollars and it might be something

01:35that could change your life and also change ours at the same time. Well, my message to the people

01:40responsible, because I don't believe it'd be just one person, I believe there's more than one person

01:46involved in it. So it's probably better to come forward now with information, get it off your

01:51chest, give yourself a conscience. We just need to know where she is, what happened to her.

02:00Yeah, the damage is done. Enough time has passed. You've caused our family decades of pain.

02:06So to get the answers and to get the justice, it's all that we can really ask for.
