Vigil held for two sisters found floating in Lauderhill Canal

Florida – On Thursday after two young girls were found floating in a canal in Lauderhill, a vigil was held.

Residents were praying and releasing balloons to honor their memory, gathered by the site where the bodies of Daysha and Destiny Hogan were discovered.

“Like normal kids [they] just play outside. Happy, joyful, always smiling,” said Lauderhill resident Kenyani Sills.

The mother of the two girls, Tinessa Hogan, is considered a person of interest in the case.

Sills said he saw her on Monday, kneeling with her head down under a tree behind her home.

“It was just kind of weird just by herself put her head down and not say nothing,” Sills said.

As the investigation continues and officials release the chilling 911 calls, police are reaching out to the community to find out more about the mother and her interactions with neighbors.

“It’s heartbreaking those are babies. Who knows if there were….was there anything I could’ve done,” said resident Justina Perez.

According to Police, Hogan never filed a missing person report for her daughters – neighbors are planning to have another vigil in the coming days.
