''This week marks 15 years since that day. Alyssa is all grown up, but no closer to learning the truth about what happened to her mom.
"I was wondering why anyone would do that to somebody else and then I'm just thinking the hope that one day we'll know something," Alyssa, now 19 years old, said.''
"She was very mischievous," Amanda's father, Donald Hughes, said. "Always cutting up. Never saw a person she didn't like, and she loved kids."
Donald has helped fill in the gaps for Alyssa while grieving the loss himself. He and his wife, Linda, visit her grave every week. While there, he talks to his little girl''
''Detective Luke Vanhoose was assigned to the case in 2019. While he has followed up on a few leads since becoming the case officer, KSP said the leads amounted to nothing.
You can reach Det. Vanhoose at (859) 623-2404.''
