While she puts her energy into believing the suspects will be caught in her husband`s case, she also gives strength to those who need it.

"That`s my whole mission now. Not only to find out who killed my husband, but to help other families so nobody has to live my life because it hasnt been easy and I cant imagine it will be easy," said Reed.
