The aunt of a San Francisco 2-year-old girl, who has been missing since her mother was found dead, is hopeful that her niece will be found safe.
Nicole Fitts, also called Nikki, was found slain on April 8 after she was reported missing a week before. Police said she was last seen on April 1.
Contessa Fitts, the victim’s sister, said authorities have not given her many details about what happened to her sister, but she said she knows they are doing everything they can to find the missing toddler, Arianna Fitts.
Contessa Fitts said she stayed in touch with her sister. Even though they lived in different cities, both would meet up about once a month.
“It’s rough,” Contessa Fitts told the San Francisco Chronicle.
“The thing that is keeping me going is that we’re going to find Arianna. I have to keep finding information,” she added.
Fitts described her sister Nikki as a cheerful and pleasant person, who worked at a Best Buy store.
