Four months have passed since Imani Roberson walked out of the door of her mother's house after eating with her mom and four young boys.
Clarine Andujar-White said it was part of their routine, but on July 16, she didn't realize it would be the last time she saw her daughter.
"Life will never be the same," she said, "it will never be normal again."
After filing a missing persons report with the Rockdale County Sheriff's Office, White said Roberson's car was found burned at the end of July in southwest Atlanta. Days later, authorities notified White that they'd found Roberson's body not far from where the vehicle was set on fire.
Imani's husband, Donell Anderson, was arrested and charged with murder.

A senseless crime that changed so many lives forever. White, a mother of six and grandmother of 16, found herself no longer just helping with Imani's four young boys but becoming their full-time guardian.
The boys, 11, 10, 3 and 4-months-old now live with White and her husband.
"Domestic violence is real," she said.
Seeing firsthand the ripple effect of just one person's heinous actions: her daughter gone, her four grandsons robbed of a life with their mom.
"They talk about her often," White said.
Lenix is the youngest boy, who just turned four months old. He was born just one month to the day Imani vanished. He'll never get the chance to know his mom. One day, his brothers, however, will share the memories they will carry with them forever.
They said they'll never forget their mom's cooking.
"She could have been a professional cook," Karter, Roberson's 10-year-old son, said.
While young, he was very well aware of what happened to his mom.
"Someone that I could almost trust took the person that I loved the most away from me," Karter said when referring to his Imani's husband.
Karter's brother, 11-year-old Kayden, said, "I actually started to like the guy."
While they will always have questions, their grandma works to keep the boys grounded.
"Keeping them in sports, keeping them busy, and most of all, keeping them together," she said.
White makes sure the boys never forget.
"Even if she's not here physically, she'll definitely be watching over them," she said.
It is a heartbreaking reality of how far-reaching domestic violence can impact families forever.
"She was a good woman, she took care of us and she was always there for us," Karter explained about his mom.
An online campaign has been set up to help make sure the children have everything they need in life to grow up, be successful and carry on their mom's legacy.
