DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — A local mother is pleading for the person who killed her daughter to come forward.

Fern Robinson said she was "devastated" when she got the call her daughter, Lillian Robinson, 26, had died in a hit-and-run crash. “I just know some days I’m not in my right state of mind," Fern Robinson said.

Lillian Robinson, 26, had died in a hit-and-run crash.

DeKalb County police said Lillian was walking on Linecrest Road in Ellenwood at 2:20 a.m. on Nov. 30.

“They said in the middle of the road,” Fern Robinson told Channel 2’s Rikki Klaus.

Investigators say a Chrysler 300 crashed into her and killed her.

Detectives believe Freddie Lundy, 33, got out from the behind the wheel and ran.

“She was still afraid of the dark,” Robinson told Klaus. “I miss her and I wish I could bring her back.”

Robinson doesn’t believe her daughter took a walk intentionally. She said the whole story doesn’t quite add up.

Robinson told Klaus her daughter was barefoot at the time of the crash, but her feet were found to be clean.

She wants to know what caused Lillian to be in the middle of the road in the middle of the night.

Detectives believe Freddie Lundy, 33, got out from the behind the wheel and ran.

Somebody might have taken her there, pushed her out of the car or something like that, and I believe it was an argument or something,” Robinson told Klaus.

A police report simply said Lillian was crossing, not at a crosswalk. Robinson said Lillian got in with the wrong crowd, and she’s afraid it cost her daughter her life.

“Always feeling like she needed to find outside love, when so many people are missing her and loving her right now,” Robinson said.

She hopes anyone with information will come forward and the suspect will turn himself in.

She urges young women and men to listen to their parents. Robinson believes her daughter would still be here, if she had.
