In Charlotte, North Carolina:
Mary was manipulated by people who convinced Mary that they were her“friends” who, after months of planning this event, exploited her vulnerable tenderness by luring her into an apartment to "hang out". These people then viciously murdered Mary.
Mary is a peace loving soul who was taken from this world, brutally murdered, in Charlotte, North Carolina. By Four people under the guise of friendship. Her trusting nature cost her her life. We are her voice. Mary's Voice.

We will focus on making the maximum positive effort in Mary's name. Our members and volunteers will provide the momentum that helps us affect change. To provide solutions that will make a long-lasting difference.
We are in the beginning stages of our mission. As we move forward, we will address changes that need to be made so that what has happened to Mary will not happen again.
Our first focus remains Justice for Mary. We want to see her murderers imprisoned for life.
We will then address the policies surrounding missing persons, differently abled persons, Amber/Silver Alert. Mary was never missing. She was in danger. The policies and procedures MUST be changed. We will also address penilties for murder and how they come about. What is meant to bring fairness and social justice for the death penalty, as well as prison terms is grossly flawed and in fact, does the complete opposite.
We are new to this and never wanted to be here. But we were given no choice. So, in Mary's name, we will bring light to the darkness. Sharing our experiences with the hope of making things better. We will push for and expect change.
Mary always wanted to help. She deserved more. Changing things for others in her name, we will honor her with what she loved best. To give to others.
