Hoping for justice, Lumberton community continue to mourn Hania Aguilar
Neighbors have put up purple balloons around the entrance to the Rosewood Mobile Home Park where Aguilar's family lives. Purple was her favorite color. People stopped by all day to drop off flowers, candles and groceries. "Just to show her that we do care,” AH said.

Neighbors have also left balloons nearby the scene off Wire Grass Road where Aguilar's body was found.

"A lot of us are parents, mothers and fathers for the detectives, and we all take a personal role,” said Sgt. Chris Cody, an Aviation Team Leader with the Fayetteville Police Department.

Cody has assisted in the case. He works with drones, helping investigators search areas. The 25-year veteran of the force also has two children himself.

He admitted the case has taken a toll. "We all try and strive. We work long hours. We work tedious time. We chase down every lead can,” Cody said.

The goal is getting justice for Aguilar.

Another vigil is planned for Sunday.

Aguilar's funeral is scheduled for next Saturday. The Robeson County Schools superintendent said it will be held in the Lumberton High School gymnasium. They’ve already canceled a planned wrestling match.

Due to a large amount of false information that has been shared please rest assured that if an arrest were made or a confession obtained related to Hania's case, you'd hear it from us. We continue to work active leads and hope the public will work with us to find the person responsible. Investigators cannot divulge every detail we uncover through the course of our work or we jeopardize finding the person responsible and holding them accountable in the judicial system.

Hania Aguilar's father denied temporary visa to enter US for funeral

The father of Hania Aguilar has been denied a temporary visa, which would have let him enter the United States to attend his daughter's funeral, despite hundreds of thousands of online requests.

Last week, an online petition surfaced which requested that officials allow him to come to America from Guatemala to say his final goodbyes to his 13-year-old daughter after she was kidnapped and killed in November.

The father's attorney, Naimeh Salem, told WSOC that the visa was denied because "he doesn't have enough ties to the country."

More than 50,000 people signed the online petition.

Florida company donates new home to Hania's family
Time Out Properties has donated a double-wide mobile home to the mother and family of 13-year-old Hania Noelia Aguilar, who was found dead last week in Lumberton after being kidnapped back on Nov. 5.

The family is moving from a single wide to a double wide mobile home that's more spacious and accommodating. Wooten said the four-bedroom home is a real blessing to the family in these difficult times.

"The new home is this something that they won’t have to relive that day every day, every day. Every time they go outside to leave, when the school bus comes, they don’t have to be reminded. The home will probably bring a lot of peace and comfort, even though it doesn’t take away the fact that Hania’s not with us anymore,” said Wooten.

Robeson County community activist Gerome Chavis played a big role in the family getting a new home. He asked people to adopt a room to help get furniture for the family's home. Chavis' efforts paid off. School district officials said nearly every room is furnished thanks to the community.

Wooten said Hania's dream was to one day buy her mother a double wide mobile home.
