It's been five months since Suzette Langlois was killed, but for her daughters, Nicole and Stephanie, it feels more like a lifetime. Now they're speaking out as they hope to get answers to what happened to their mother so they can finally move forward.
"It's sad to know all the times you took for granted," said Langlois' daughter, Nicole Dixon.
Dixon describes her mother as kind-hearted and willing to help anyone in need, She says the night her mother was killed, she was coming home so she could help her daughter.
"It hurts me because that night she wasn't going to go home and she only did because she had my kids the next morning," said Dixon.
Instead Langlois was shot at her home around 2:00 in the morning. Nicole didn't find out until nearly three and a half hours later, at 5:30 when she went to drop of her kids at grandma's house and was greeted by a crime scene. Ever since that moment, Dixon says it's been an endless spiral of questions.
"We basically try to contact the cops periodically week by week to get any news as to what's going on and they always tell us they have nothing," said Dixon.
NBC26 reached out to the Brown County Sheriff's Department who is the lead investigating agency for Langlois' murder. They told us in a statement: "The Suzette Langlois homicide is still under investigation, we have nothing new to release as it is active."
For Dixon and her sister they say moving past that night is difficult.
"You don't really move forward, you have no one to direct your anger towards, you just don't know what happened," said Dixon.
Instead the sisters are left with more questions than answers and live everyday with a constant fear.
"There's times when I was afraid to go outside when it's dark out because you don't know who it was or why they did it or if they were targeting her, her fiancée, her family, you just don't know," said Dixon.
Dixon says the hardest part is not knowing who or why her mom was murdered. She's begging anyone with information to call the Brown County Sheriff's Department.
