Eight years after Julia Niswender’s death, the case remains unsolved.
The family recently want the Ypsilanti Police Department to hand the case over to Michigan State Police. The Niswender family said Christmas is a particularly difficult time for them.
“She loved Christmas,” said Jennifer Niswender, Julia’s sister.
“I still feel the pain,” said mother Kim Turnquist. “That pain never goes away. That pain never lessens.”
The family visited Julia’s grave to honor her memory and share their frustration that her killer has never been brought to justice.
