Ariki Rigby homicide

[kburkett]

I am new to the websleuth world despite being on here for a number of years I have never posted.

There is a case in New Zealand that has not been solved and doesn't sit right with me. There was a burnt out car which remains were found, initially, it was thought to be the remains of a sheep, however sadly it was the remains of Ariki Rigby (Female, 18y/o). The police have done what they can but their family has had no justice.

Here is one of the many articles:

I don't know how to go about this as this is the first time I have posted. I just want justice for this sweet girl

Three weeks before Rigby's death, Heremaia met the 18-year-old during a visit by her to the Hawke's Bay region, with the pair forming a close connection and communicating with each other regularly.
