DELRAY BEACH (CBSMiami) - There is no greater pain for a parent than losing a child violently, but somehow Idey Elias forces herself to push through her suffering each year on the anniversary of her daughter's murder.

On March 23, 2007, Elias' daughter, Randi Gorenberg, was shot and shoved out of her vehicle in Governor Lawton Chiles Memorial Park just off Jog Road across the street from Morikami Gardens.

To mark the eighth anniversary of her death, Monday morning Elias went to the park and asked for the public's help in finding her daughter's killer.

On the day of the murder, a witness called 911 and said she heard gunshots and witnessed a woman being pushed from the passenger side of a black 2007 Mercedes Benz SUV. The assailant took off in Gorenberg's vehicle and later abandoned it at a nearby Home Depot.

Investigators believe someone knows who committed the vicious murder.

Randi Gorenberg, a mother of two, had shopped at the Boca Town Center Mall that afternoon. She was seen leaving the mall approximately 1:16 p.m. Investigators say they don't know what happened in the half hour leading up to the killing, but have revealed that Gorenberg did 'not' have an ATM card and if the assailant was looking for cash he would have been frustrated.

Gorenberg's Kooba purse, cell phone and white PUMA sneakers were stolen and never recovered.

Elias says she won't find any peace until her daughter's killer is brought to justice.

Anyone with information which could be helpful is urged to call Crime Stoppers (800) 458-8477.
