Ariana Ptarcinski, a beloved daughter and friend, was brutally murdered. Her family is left in anguish, not only from their loss but also from the lack of justice served. They deserve to see the person responsible for this heinous act held accountable. It is not just their desire; it is their right.

The case was closed by the Hernando County Sheriff's Office without resolution, leaving a wound that cannot begin to heal without closure. This petition seeks to compel them to reopen Ariana Ptarcinski's murder case and dedicate all necessary resources towards its resolution.

In 2019 alone, over 16,425 cases of murder and nonnegligent manslaughter were solved in the United States (FBI Crime Data Explorer). Yet Ariana’s case remains unresolved. Each unsolved case represents a family denied justice - we must not allow Ariana’s family to be one of them.

We implore you – law enforcement agencies, local government officials, anyone with authority or influence – do what is right. Stand with us as we demand justice for Ariana Ptarcinski and her grieving family.

Please sign this petition today; let your voice join ours in demanding that Hernando County Sheriff's Office reopen and solve Ariana Ptarcinski's murder case.
