HAMMOND, Ind. (WLS) -- It's been 18 years since a 13-year-old Hammond girl went missing from her home during the night, and the FBI has just doubled the reward for information about her murder.
"I'm never going to have her back to see her again, to tell her I'm sorry or that I love her," said Sandra Anaya.
In the summer of 2005 Anaya's daughter Alexandra went missing from her home during the night. Three days later her torso was found in the Little Calumet River.
Thursday, the FBI doubled the reward for information in the case to $20,000.
"I'm sure some people were scared, but time has passed. Maybe this will encourage them to come forward even more now," Anaya said.
"It's a devastating situation for any parents to face, and to not have resolution for 18 years, it's unacceptable," said FBI Special Agent Siobhan Johnson.
Johnson said information can be given anonymously.
"It's been an entire lifetime. This can be the moment that someone can give a tip to change the family's lives," she said
