It's been about one year since Bobbi Kristina Brown was found unresponsive in a bathtub, and even though she passed away nearly seven months later at the age of 22 on July 26, there are still many unanswered questions about what happened on that tragic day.
The Roswell, Ga. police department closed their investigation in June 2015 and passed it on to the Fulton County District Attorney's office for review and to this day, her case is "still open and under investigation," Fulton County DA spokesperson Yvette Jones told E! News. While they have not released any details on any new or recent information or discoveries that have been found since it has been passed on, they are still investigating and trying to figure out why Brown was face down in her bathtub that day.
Nobody has been arrested or charged in the case yet, though her former boyfriend Nick Gordon has been a prime suspect as he is currently being sued for wrongful death by a guardian of Brown's estate for giving her a "toxic cocktail." It is unclear when or if any charges will be filed. Gordon has denied that he was involved or responsible in any way.
"It's really a waiting game," criminal defense attorney Darryl Cohen, who is not involved in the case, told E! News last week. "Waiting to see if anything is going to be done by the district attorney. Then, it's either game-on one way or the other. There is no statute of limitations but, at some point in time, if [someone] were to be indicted, juries are more difficult to convince. The longer from the time of the incident to the time it goes to trial, it's harder. In my view, most would be like why did they wait so long? Unless there is some evidence - scientific, or an eyewitness that came out of the woodwork - that clearly is significant. If it's nothing new then it makes jurors much more reticent to convict."
Brown's final autopsy results, including toxicology reports and her death certificate, were sealed on Sept. 25. They are still in effect, but the Fulton County Medical Examiner's office are unable to release any of the additional information regarding her death.
Her aunt Leolah, who is Bobbi Kristina's father Bobby's sister, took to Facebook on Wednesday to reveal that she will be writing a tell-all book exposing the truth on what really happened to her niece. She also claims to possibly have some information on Bobbi Kristina's mom Whitney Houston's death, which was shockingly similar.
"With all that has happened, I am sure everyone has questions and concerns regarding Whitney and Bobbi Kriss's death and murder. AND I DON'T BLAME YOU," she wrote. "If it be the 'WILL' of The Almighty God, MY BOOK WILL ANSWER 'every' single question that has come up in your minds concerning what REALLY happened and took place with my sister and niece. All of the why's and the why not's will also be answered as well. From the very beginning to the very end. I promise you will have it asap (if it is the will of God)! And after you read it, you will have to ask no more. Please be patient and look forward to 'ALL THE TRUTH' coming from Leolah's moth."
Several of Brown's close friends and loved ones are still fighting for justice when it comes to her mysterious death at such a young age.
"It's still surreal," her neighbor and good friend Debbie Brooks told People in the wake of the anniversary. "My heart is so heavy and I miss her every day. Every time I walk by her house, I expect her to come running out."
"Krissi's story, as unique as it is, is so filled with tragic cliché's," another family friend added. "The daughter of a 'princess of a woman,' both gone too soon. One having left an amazing legacy, the other never quite fulfilling her potential. Both lost to us. Both loved and missed immensely."
Hi FB Fam!Peace be unto you all. I pray that each and every one of you are in excellent health and spirits today! I...
