Jessica Chambers' last words will hopefully lead police to the killer or killers who burned her alive on Saturday in a murder that has rocked a small Mississippi community.
Chambers, 19, was found badly burned on a road not too far from her burning car. Authorities have called the incident a homicide.
"They have ripped everything I have," the teen's mother, Lisa Chambers, told Fox affiliate WDBD-TV. "She left to go clean out her car and was going to get [herself] something to eat."
The teen died after she was covered in flammable liquid and lit on fire on a road in Courtland, a town with a population of only 460 people.
"They squirted lighter fluid down her throat and in her nose, and apparently they knocked her out," her father, Ben Chambers, said as he choked back tears. "She had a big gash on top of her head."
By the time the fire department arrived on the scene, she was walking down the road on fire and only the bottom of her feet were without flames, according to an employee at the Panola County Sheriff's Department.
"She told them, she told them, told him who done it," he said.
Chambers later died in Memphis after suffering severe burns across 98 percent of her body, according to preliminary autopsy results, WFLA reported.
Her cell phone was left at the scene, and police are looking into it to try to see who was with her just before the murder.
"Why? What did she do?" Chambers said. "They took something from me I can't never get back, not ever, you know. It's a part of me gone forever."
