"The holidays is coming up and it’s just hard," said her aunt, Doris Runnels. "This question needs to be asked: Why did you do her like that, you know? To find your loved one just put in the trash like she was a nobody, she did belong to somebody."
The way she was found and the lack of arrests has family members frustrated.
"I just want people to know Myeisha had family, she was loved, and we just pray that we get justice for Myeisha," the victim’s cousin, Lakesha Runnels, said.
