''Detectives continue to work to move the case forward.

Meanwhile, the family's 60-year-old business, Robert Is Here food stand, remains a community staple. He started the business when he was 6 years old; and from the beginning, his mother Mary was there.

"My mom was my mom," said Robert. What she lacked in her stature, her family will say, she made up for with her feisty and tough personality. She worked her way out of poverty and was the first person in the U.S. to survive tuberculosis.''

''August 1992 changed everything. Less than a week after his mother's 71st birthday, Robert found Mary tied up, strangled and mutilated in her own home. A week later, Hurricane Andrew ripped through South Florida''.

''But Miami-Dade police detectives are hoping stored DNA samples may provide some answers.''
