Please Lift our Family in Prayer

I am asking for prayer requests for my immediate and extended family. My cousin was brutally murdered in October and this has devastated our family. Our only bit of peace was that the person who did this was found 2 weeks after his death. There was a witness who witnessed the entire event and who came forward at the time and that helped immensely. We found out from the prosecutor yesterday that this witness, as well as other witnesses, are recanting or not wanting to be involved anymore, out of fear of retaliation, and because of this, the case is weakened significantly. And the person who did this, may get away with it. Please pray for my aunt, who has had unbelievable faith throughout this ordeal of losing her youngest child. She has taken the high road the entire time, asking the community not to retaliate at the accuser or his family, as well as asking that the death sentence not be brought up in this case. I cannot imagine the devastation that she must feel right now. She has weathered so much since his death, but especially in the last month. His car has been in front of her home since his death and about a month ago, someone tried to break into it and steal the tires. Something or someone startled them in the midst of the process and they ran away, but that was difficult to see and she had to make arrangements for his older brother to have the car now. She saved money for months after his death and was finally able to get the tombstone and picture that she wanted to make his grave look nice. It's all that she has left of him and she was very proud that she was able to get it done. It's only been complete maybe a month or so. She visits his grave throughout the week and every Sunday after church, and 2 Sundays ago she went for her visit and someone had used tools to remove his picture from the tombstone, which devastated her completely. It was like being robbed of him all over again for all of us, but for her, I know that it was excruciating. It felt like weight of the sadness in the weeks immediately after his death.
Again, I am asking for prayer for my family to get through this painful time. We know what the prosecuter says, but we also know that our God has the last say and that HE can move mountains. We, as a family, believe in the power of prayer. Please lift our family, the Stone Family, in prayer continuously if you do not mind, over the next several weeks. Please ask your church, your friends, your prayer group, etc., to pray for this situation. Please also pray for the witnesses, too. Pray for their safety and covering, and that they will do the right thing and tell the truth, so that this man will be prosecuted and will not hurt anyone else's child. I will update you as we hear more about the case. Thanks in advance.
