> Asking my mother or relatives is not an option. What they know, I know, and we are very much not close. But I think it would help them to at least have a news report about their mother’s death - I always remember it being a big deal that their mother was murdered and nobody really tried to do anything about it.

Re the question of the police not doing much, if you still want to look into that you might want to check and see if she had an arrest record. While it’s sad, if a person is a vagrant known to the police and gets killed they are often not going to go out of their way with detective work.
