SWISSVALE, Pa. — Strangers moved to tears by the death of a 3-year-old Wilkinsburg girl, who was reported missing Sunday and found dead hours later, walked in her memory Thursday evening.
“How can you do that to a little baby? It put me in tears. I'm just sad,” Martha Fletcher said.
Fletcher and Chayla Green, who both have children of their own, did not know Adrionna Williams, but they told Channel 11 News they can’t stop thinking about the 3-year-old girl or her parents.

"I could never, ever want to imagine what (her mother’s) going through right now,” Green said.
The women took part in a march Thursday night to remember Adrionna. The 2.5 mile walk began at Turner Elementary in Wilkinsburg, where Adrionna was reportedly last seen, and ended at the makeshift memorial in Swissvale where the girl’s body was found.
Adrienne Williams, Adrionna's mother, was present at the march, but declined to comment and left quickly.
Four days have now passed since Adrionna was discovered lying on her back in a wooded ravine off Chalmers Way.
County police said they know the clock is ticking on this investigation but told Kaminski that they cannot make an arrest until they determine exactly how the girl died.
For those who continue to mourn a child they never met, an arrest can't come soon enough.
“I would love for them to catch the person who did this, and a death sentence is getting off easy to me,” Green said.
