Most neighbors told investigators they didn’t see or hear anything when detectives found Nishan Huff shot to death in June 2006 at the Boulder Creek Apartments in Greenville County.

“I hate the anniversary, because it’s another year we don’t know what happened or why it happened,” said Sacha Huff, Nishan’s mother.

She said that four years later, it’s still hard to believe her daughter is gone and someone knows something.

“They’re not feeling the pain that my family feels,” she said. “If it was their child, their sister, or cousin or whatever to them, they would want to know who did it.”

Nishan Huff had just graduated from Francis Marion University as an honor student. She was also a member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority when someone shot her in the face several times inside her Boulder Creek Apartment.

“It’s not easy,” Sacha Huff said. “This week has been the hardest week of my life.”

In honor of the sorority Huff loved so much, Nishan’s mother and sister, India Huff, gathered blue and white ribbons, the colors of her sorority, for another candlelight vigil on Monday.

“Any day, at any given time, can be the worst day when you think about it,” said India Huff, Nishan’s sister. “I miss her laughter the most. Sometimes she would laugh so hard until she started crying and would turn red in the face.”

However, now she said she and her family are heartbroken.

“We’re four years out and still no one has said anything,” she said.

India Huff and her mother said they hope that maybe the ribbons, candles and jars that they hoped would fill with money to go toward a reward will bring awareness to the crime and help catch a killer.

“Maybe they’ll turn on the TV, maybe they’ll be riding by and say ‘Oh, I remember hearing about that,’ or ‘I overheard so and so saying this,’” said India Huff.

They said they don’t want to mark another anniversary not knowing what happened.

Later, in front of the Boulder Creek Apartment where Nishan Huff was found dead, a small crowd gathered. Family members and friends wore ribbons and held candles during the vigil. Several pastors said prayers, others sang songs and some in the crowd gave words of encouragement to the Huff family. Many in the crowd were very close to Nishan Huff, but others said they didn’t know her at all, but wanted to show their support.

Detectives with the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office are encouraging anyone with information in the case to call Crime Stoppers at 23-CRIME. Callers don’t have to leave their name, only tips. The reward in this case is $5,000.
