Milestone years such as the 25th anniversary of
her daughter’s death can be particularly hard,

tives.
“It always amazes me how many people remem-
ber Tammy in different ways,” she said.

“She did make her mark. She would have been
a very successful person. She was well rounded
and had a lot of interests, and she was very mo-
tivated.”
JoAnn Zywicki, Tammy’s mother, said she was
happy that the investigation continues and that
the latest DNA techniques will be used.
“I’m glad to see they are pursuing that,” she said.
“It’s good to see the FBI and the Illinois State Po-
lice working together.”
She added that her daughter’s tragedy “has
brought a lot of attention to how many cold cases
we have, and that’s important.”
As to whether Tammy’s killer will ever be cap-
tured, JoAnn Zywicki said, “I never give up hope.”
