All around Lewine Tapia kids are growing up - all of them except for Rosie.

Ten years ago on July 13, someone entered 6-year-old Rosie Tapia's bedroom in Salt Lake City, and kidnapped her. Her body was later found in the Surplus Canal of the Jordan River. She had been sexually molested.

And while she watches her grandkids and other children grow older, Tapia wonders what Rosie would have looked like.

"It's still hard," Tapia said. "To me, it feels just like yesterday."

At a vigil for Rosie on Friday, those who knew Rosie, government officials and activists stood before newspaper reporters and television cameras asking people with information about Rosie's death to come forward.

"We're committed as a police department to find the perpetrator of this crime," said Salt Lake City Assistant Police Chief Scott Atkinson. "We need information that would allow us to go forward."

In 2004, investigators said they considered a convicted sex offender who lived in the same apartment complex as the Tapias as a "person of interest" in the case.

But, Atkinson said on Friday that police don't have any evidence that points to any particular person. Cold case detectives are working with a lack of witnesses and evidence, he said.

"We've pretty much exhausted the leads that we have," Atkinson said.

To assist in the case, the Utah Coalition of La Raza, which helped organize the vigil, is planning on offering a reward for information leading to the arrest of the person or persons who killed Rosie.

Maybe the money will help jog someone's memory, said Rosie's aunt Ramona Lopez.

"There has to be somebody out there that knows something," she said.
