The mother of a young woman who went missing near Wellington is organising a march for all victims of unresolved missing person cases as she makes one final plea to those behind her daughter's disappearance to tell her where her body is.
Kāpiti woman Breanna Muriwai, 22, disappeared on August 28 and her whereabouts have remained a mystery since she was last seen on Te Horo Beach.
Her mum, Jasmin Gray, has released a video pleading for those connected to her disappearance to come forward with information.
"I'm just giving you one last chance, one more opportunity to tell me where my daughter is," Gray said.
"I'm not going to beg you anymore. I know you've done something to her and I know she wouldn't have gone down without a fight."
The last known footage of Muriwai, captured the day before she was reported missing, shows her at a Palmerston North liquor store with a man.
The case was featured on Ten 7 Aotearoa, formerly Police Ten 7, last year. In the episode it was said there are "two essential questions" - where Breanna is and what actually happened to her.
But those questions are still yet to be answered.
Gray has just had her first Easter without her daughter. Now, she's vowing to help other families with missing loved ones by organising a march in June advocating for justice for unresolved cases, as Muriwai is just one of dozens of people on the Police's missing persons list.
Police weren't available for an interview about Muriwai, but said in a statement that the investigation is ongoing, they don't have any more information at this stage, and are updating her family regularly.
Gray wants those who do know what happened to Muriwai to watch her video.
"I know they're watching my page, keeping an eye on my page. I need them to see how much this is affecting myself, my whānau, and friends."
She is hoping someone somewhere will tell her where her daughter is.
"How do you think it'd feel if this was your baby? Just give it up, just tell us where she is and you can go on with your life," Gray said.
Now she's getting on with what she calls her "life's mission", which is working so others with missing family members don't have to suffer like she is.
