She explained that her father and brothers broke the news when she got off an airplane after returning from a yoga workshop out of the area.

A huge fear of hers was that the tragic loss of her son would mire her in sadness for the rest of her life.

But she eventually became determined not to live that way.

Instead, she worked hard to mentally, emotionally, and physically transform the pain and suffering of the past and truly regain motivation and a sense of peace.

In mid-October 2009, a private memorial Facebook page titled In Memory of Lisa Marie Guerreri was created.

And it became a place where loved ones began leaving posts and notes about Lisa.

That page still exists today, though it's a closed group.

Fast forward several years, and by October 2017, the case had been cold for 14 years.

And understandably, Lisa's mother, Paula, was very frustrated that it seemed her daughter and Brandon's killer had gotten away with the crime.

At one point, not long after the murders, Paula had tried to get authorities to release some of Lisa's personal belongings, like maybe her cell phone to them.

But they were told by an investigator that the case had to be at least 25 years old or solved before anything that was considered to be evidence could go back to her family.

Paula told AZ Central reporter Jason Pohl that it was unfair knowing that the person or people who committed the crime were likely still out in society walking around.

Meanwhile, Lisa and Brandon were stolen from their families far too soon.

That same year, so 2017, Paula and one of Lisa's uncles pleaded to the public to help authorities catch whoever was responsible.

They emphasized that they desperately wanted closure and some answers.

Paula stated, quote, Here we are 14 years later.

I just hope that this is solved before I go, before I die.

I want to know who did it, but it could be that it's not going to happen because Lisa doesn't want me to know who did it.

End quote.

More than two years later, in December 2019, the case was still no closer to resolution.
