Year Later, Lynchburg Family Pleas for Answers in Daughter's Death

Lynchburg, VA - Nearly one year after she disappeared, family members of a Lynchburg woman still want to know why she had to die.
Cassandra Morton disappeared last October. Her body was discovered a few weeks later in a shallow grave on Candlers Mountain.
The Campbell County Sheriff's Office and Lynchburg Police have been looking for her killer ever since. Investigators say their leads have gone cold.
Since unearthing her remains off of Camp Hydaway Road back in December, detectives have checked more than 90 leads and logged several hundred hours, attempting to solve Cassandra Morton's murder.
Her family is confident they will solve it.
Nearly a year later, the pain hasn't let up.
"It's been really hard though, yes it has, been really hard," said Keisha Morton, Cassandra's sister.
The family of Cassandra Morton is hoping it will get easier when her killer is behind bars.
"Anybody out there that know any information out there, please help the public to solve this case because October 10th will be a whole year," said Raleigh Myers, Cassandra's Father.
"All I just do is hope and pray everyday that whoever know about it, just come forward, you know, or either he come forward and confess that he did it," said Morton.
Investigators aren't waiting for a confession.
"We're going out and we're just going to start re pounding the pavement I guess is the best way to put it," said Campbell County Sheriff's Investigator Mike Milnor.
Deputies are set to reinterview witnesses, in hopes of identifying any new leads.
"We have gotten some trace evidence back that, given the right lead and something to compare it to, it might be something of value," said Inv. Milnor.
But until they close this case, those closest to Cassandra Morton will continue to suffer.
"I am not going to rest until I see and find out who killed my daughter," said Myers.
The Sheriff's Office says it will continue to actively investigate this case as long as it takes. When it comes to homicides, Campbell County investigators tell us there's no such thing as a cold case.
