She loved to ride her bike.

She loved to play with dolls.

She loved the color pink.

She was looking forward to going to Great America, and couldn't wait to turn 10.

By all accounts, 9-year old Mya Lyons was a sweet and innocent girl, who was unexpectedly taken away from her family and friends.

On Friday, there was some encouraging news in the case. Police were questioning a "person of interest" in Mya's murder. Her father found the girl dead in an alley near his home in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood. Relatives say police told them she had been sexually assaulted and stabbed to death.

But now, nearly a week after this heinous crime, police are back to square one in their investigation. They released the "person of interest" from custody. No charges have been filed.

It's disappointing news for anyone who's been following this tragedy.

Mya was laid to rest on Saturday. The images of her grieving family saying goodbye were just heartbreaking.

I know police officers are working this case to the best of their ability. I hope they can catch Mya's killer soon.

Nothing can bring Mya back, but I think swift justice in this case will ease her family's pain and bring some relief to that entire community.
