Zenya Hernandez is heartbroken that Abby has been gone for so long.
"I'm devastated," said Zenya Hernandez. "I just want to find her."
Zenya Hernandez would like to thank the community, law enforcement and her coworkers at Mountain View Community for their ongoing support.

Law enforcement has not released the contents of the letter.
Conway Police Lt. Chris Perley said his agency is still committed to bringing Abby home alive.
"We remain steadfast in our resolve to reunite her with her family safely," said Perley who is the operations manager of the department.
Abigail is still classified as a missing person. The decision to change that designation would not be made by the police department because the Attorney General and FBI are involved.
When asked if the case has gone cold, Perley said the rate at which information has come in has slowed down since the initial investigation — something that happens in all protracted investigations.

Kieran Ramsey, of the FBI, said the three-month anniversary isn't of particular significance other than the fact the teen is not home with her mother.
"The posture of our investigation is the same," said Ramsey adding he wouldn't discuss the number of man hours or tips that have come in. "It's still ongoing. It's still very active. The investigative team is working on this every day. "
Ramsey said a development could break at a moment's notice but as of Tuesday afternoon there was nothing new to release. When asked about the helpfulness of releasing the existence of the October letter, Ramsey replied that any lead helps but it has not brought Abby home.

"The good news is the case was well handled from the start, all of the investigative steps from law enforcement have been documented well so that we're not redoing things that have already been done, intelligence has been gathered and all of the things that need to be put in place for a long-term success in a long-term investigation have been done," said Perley.
"What we are waiting for now is actionable intelligence that can lead us in a productive direction, and we will wait for that until the end of time because we want to find Abby."
When asked how law enforcement decides when to release information to the public. Perley replied that, in general, law enforcement officials release information when they deem it would be helpful to investigations and when it wouldn't compromise the case.
When asked if the public has unrealistic expectations of law enforcement, Perley praised the community but said some people do get the wrong impression of law enforcement from TV crime shows.
"I can't say anything negative about the public's response to the Abigail Hernandez case because their response was so heartfelt, committed, enthusiastic and united," said Perley. "It's just incredible what this community did to try and find her as soon as we could. But in general, through television, there tends to be a belief that things are solved more rapidly, sometimes, than they can be."

Perley sees reasons to remain optimistic.
"The foundation was laid in the beginning to do the investigation properly," said Perley. "We amassed as many resources as you could possibly gather, and because we have proof of life thus far that would tend to indicate that this is still a missing person's case and not a homicide. It's still categorized as a missing person. So, until I know for sure that she is not alive, the hope and opportunity is still there to reunite her with her family."
Ramsey agreed. He said Abby went missing on the 9th and essentially all the resources involved in this case were assembled by the next day.
Agencies involved include the Conway Police, the New Hampshire State Police, the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office, the FBI, New Hampshire Fish and Game, state police from surrounding states, the sheriff's office, a number of local police agencies, New England K-9 Search and Rescue, elements of the private sector and nonprofit organizations.

"It really has been a fantastic effort," said Ramsey.
