BUFFALO, N.Y. A local mother stood outside Buffalo City Hall on Wednesday afternoon and said she will continue to fight for justice for her daughter, 20-year-old Amanda Wienckowski.
Surrounded by family and community activists she said, It s sad that it has to come to this. I just beg everyone to help me.
Wienckowski was found dead on Buffalo s East Side. Her nude body had been stuffed into a garbage tote outside a church.
Activists and family of Amanda Wienckowski, found dead on Buffalo s East Side in 2008, are calling for authorities to reopen the case based upon new evidence.
Reopen activists say Wienckowski, 20, was stun-gunned and then strangled by Antoine Garner, who lived across the street from where the tote containing her naked, frozen body was found. Garner is currently serving 18 years in prison for a series of violent sexual crimes.

Supporters of reopening the case say they have a new scientific report that doesn’t match the medical examiner’s report listing her death as an accidental overdose. The new report says that can’t be true, based on the county’s own toxicology tests, and that a lot of evidence, like numerous DNA samples, wasn t tested.
