No progress whatsoever has been made in finding her killer. Nine months have passed since her daughter Angela was raped and then set on fire by some sadistic freak.

For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. They recognize several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. ^ Certain award groups do not simply award one winner.
