NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — We first told you about 23-year-old Blanca Guadalupe Berrios Orellana in August. That's when her mother reported her missing.
We talked to her mother then. She said Blanca was headed to Murfreesboro to see her stepfather.
Three weeks later, Metro Police say they found Blanca's remains at a home on Burnt House Road in Wilson County.
One month later, her mother is still trying to make sense of a world without her daughter.
"I can't explain right now what I'm feeling," said Maria Ines Berrios Orellana.
She describes Blanca as an independent, positive 23-year-old who always checked in on family.
"She was the kind of person who was really social, always making jokes," she explained. "She had dreams of building a house...and having a family."
Overall, Ines hopes for justice for her daughter.
"That wasn't fair what happened with her," she said. "I want the police to tell me the person who did that to her."
Mystery still surrounds what happened to Blanca. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is leading the case and are still not able to share anything about what happened to her, due to an ongoing investigation.

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
