Family pushes for justice after woman's murder #shorts | Forensic Files

Before Trenton uh Fry's trial even began, um Caitlyn's mother, Crystal, her two aunts, Sherry and Tina, they took to
social media. They started posting videos on TikTok to talk about the case. And it's definitely something that we've
been seeing, whether it's the families of victims wanting more attention on a case um that hasn't been solved or
wanting more attention on a suspect who has been charged. I just did a a case involving Molly Bish
and her sister used Tik Tok to try to get new tips and new evidence. So, yes, it's happening all the time. In this
case, though, as reporters, you really get a sense of what this family went through in a way you couldn't any other
way. Caitlyn's mother, Crystal, happens to have two sisters and these women all are very supportive of each other. And
so when Crystal was having difficulty grappling with her pain and her loss, her sisters come through and the way
they support her is on TikTok and telling people what's happening and how we have to have justice for uh Caitlyn.
You know, they really were pushing for that. A lot of these videos really brought Caitlyn to life. Like she pops
off the screen. >> Oh, she does. Um, I often feel this, but I felt this in particular in this case
that I wish I'd known Caitlyn Montgomery.
