POINT PLESANT, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- It's been almost a year since Marshall University student Leah Hickman was found murdered in the basement of her apartment building.

Now her friends and family are working to keep her memory alive.

Hundreds of people gathered in Point Pleasant Saturday to run in the Leah Hickman 5k.

Organizers say they wanted to show the family and community that they have not forgotten about the case.

We caught up with some of Leah's friends who say time of year is pretty tough with the holidays ahead.

No arrests have ever been made in Leah's murder.

I can't figure out why Leah's parents haven't gone down to the Huntington Police Department and DEMANDED answers!! This is ridiculous. They KNOW who murdered Leah, and he's getting by with MURDER!!

I didn't know Leah but I pray for the family every day that they can have closure and find the person that did this awful thing to her. From all the stories that I've heard about her she was a wonderful person. I will keep the family in my thoughts and prayers!!!
