Kerry Cast death: CCTV image released of potential witnesses
Police have issued CCTV of a number of three people seen in the area around the time she died to see if they can shed light on what happened.
This afternoon, Kathy Weaver, told BBC Midlands Today: "We're just so lost without her. We just want answers to see what's happened to her. We just miss her so much.
"She was a big part of our life.
"There' wasn't a day go by where I didn't speak to Kerry on the phone and we just want answers to see what happened to her."
Police are now trying to build up a picture of her movements and have appealed who has information that could aid the inquiry to get in touch.
DCI David Giles, of Staffordshire Police, said: "Kerry was very active on social media.
"She's got a lot of friends and associates so any of those who we've not spoken to, we'd be keen to speak to."
"Kerry has spent a significant period of her life living in Crawley, West Sussex, before moving back to her childhood home of Cannock around three months ago.
"I believe since moving home she has maintained contact with friends and associates in the Crawley area and I would like to hear from anyone who has information relevant to her death.
"We are keen to trace family, friends and associates of Kerry and speak to anyone who may have seen or spoken to her in recent days in order to piece together her recent movements.
"We're also interested to hear about anyone who may have travelled from the West Sussex area in recent days to visit Kerry at her Cannock home.
A detailed forensic examination of the property is underway and officers are carrying out inquiries in the area.
Neighbours raised the alarm and it has emerged that she had not been seen for up to five days before police found her body.
