Brittany Smith's aunts -- Rhonda, Angel and Tracey -- are asking 32-year-old Jeffrey Easley to grant them one wish for the holidays.
"Mr. Easley, I know you don't know me," said Rhonda. "Sir, please let Brittany come home for Christmas."
Her aunts didn't want to share their last names, but Rhonda did share a picture with the media.
It shows a happier time with her sister, Tina Smith, and niece taken just last Sunday.
"Brittany, we want to have good times with you again," said Rhonda. "We're ready for you to come home. We're waiting to take you to the zoo."
"We'd like to have her home so we can say goodbye and make final funeral plans with her mom," said Angel.
"Just please take her somewhere safe, drop her off," said Tracey.
Friday marks one week since that last sighting of Easley and Brittany at the Salem Walmart.
Investigators say they're frustrated and concerned.
"I certainly hope they're in one spot and not moving," said Roanoke County Police Chief Ray Lavinder. "Maybe in a garage somewhere and living out of that, but I simply don't know."
Police have printed new "wanted" flyers with pictures of Easley and Brittany. The photos will also go on billboards in North Carolina, Florida, Alabama, West Virginia and Ohio.
Investigators have received more than 500 tips, but say they're still waiting on the big break to capture Easley and bring Brittany home.
