"I don't wish it upon anyone to go through what we had to go through. This is never going to end until we have got some closure and the only closure for me is getting Amber-Lee back, wherever she is. It is not about getting the person for doing what they have done to her. It is about bringing her home, giving us some closure so we can move on instead of living this, year in and year out, over and over. This was an innocent two-and-a-half-year-old little girl who did nothing ... and didn't deserve whatever has happened to her. But what she does deserve is the right to be back with her family and we deserve that too. I just want my girl back. He, she, whatever has to live with it and how they sleep at night is f.....g beyond me." Source: https://interactives.stuff.co.nz/2017/09/murky-water/
