PHOENIX — There’s a memorial with balloons and flowers sitting at the Park and Ride near 27th Avenue and Baseline Road in Laveen. It’s in honor of 41-year-old Diane Craig.
“Diane was a wonderful person. She was so full of life,” said Roshuanda Boss.
“Diane is her name but that’s Bubbles. That’s what we call her, that’s Bubbles. She was like the life of the room,” said Shontae Vinson.
Boss and Vinson are Diane’s cousins, and they were visiting the memorial near the site where she was found unconscious on a Phoenix bus Friday morning.
“She definitely did not deserve this. Our family is hurting,” said Boss.
Phoenix police detectives determined Diane had been strangled to death at some point on the bus ride. Authorities are now looking for 26-year-old Joshua Bagley in connection with the homicide.
“He robbed our family. He did, he robbed our family,” said Vinson.
Diane’s cousins hope Bagley is caught soon.
“He did this to our family. He can do it to someone else. We need this guy off the streets,” said Boss.
While it’s unclear why Diane’s life was taken away – she’ll never be forgotten.
“Bubbles is loved,” said Vinson.
