WTENCOLONIE, N.Y. -- Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand are promising a military mother they will find out exactly what happened to her daughter.
Staff Sergeant Amy Seyboth Tirador died in Iraq earlier this month. She was laid to rest on Monday.
The Army says she did not die in combat.
Colleen Murphy holds the memory of her daughter close to her heart. More than two weeks after Staff Sgt. Tirador was killed, her family is still waiting for answers on who shot her to death inside her secure military base.

Murphy is now getting the support of at least two Washington lawmakers in her quest for answers.
Reading from a letter she recently received from Senator Gillibrand, Murpy says she is more confident that she will eventually know what happened to her 29-year-old daughter.

Senator Schumer has also vowed to help the Colonie family.
