The mother of a St. Petersburg woman who was killed three years ago is pleading for answers in the ongoing search to find her killer.
- Tracy Lee Pulido murdered three years ago
- Pulido's mother, Linda Swingle, still seeking help
- Few leads currently in the case
It’s been three years of putting out balloons, posting up pictures and wearing a t-shirt with the words "Please Help! Information needed on the murder of Tracy Lee Pulido" across the front for Linda Swingle.
Three years of Swingle not having the answers about who killed her daughter, Tracy Lee Pulido.
“You just didn't kill one person," Swingle said. "You killed two people. Ripped my heart out."
The grieving mother says she's working just as hard today to find her daughter's killer as she did three years ago, after police found Pulido's body inside a St. Petersburg apartment on 40th street North. Swingle says police made the discovery after Pulido didn't pick her son up from a play date.
She also says there are few leads in the case, and she hopes someone will hear her pleas and come forward. The family is desperate for answers, especially today, on what would have been Pulido's 45th birthday.
“I miss her and I love her so much," said Swingle. "There's somebody that has to be out there that can help please. I'm begging you please."
Swingle’s other daughter, Terry, says it's hard to see her mother like this.
“For my mom, she's dying of a broken heart, and I'm really hurt about it too, because I miss her so much,” said Terry.
Anyone with information about the murder of Tracy Lee Pulido is urged to contact Crime Stoppers. There is up to a $3,000 reward.
