Friends and family of a missing Brooklyn woman gather with supporters for a vigil in her honor.

Laura Garza, 25, disappeared after leaving a Chelsea nightclub on December 3.

A crowd gathered Sunday night to pray outside the Orange County apartment of Michael Mele, the registered sex offender Garza was last seen with before she vanished.

Family members said they won't give up until they find out what happened to the Texas native.

"All we want is Laura back and we will go back to Texas, I mean we just want this to end," said

Mele is being held in an Orange County jail on an unrelated probation violation.

He has not been charged in Garza's disappearance but has been called a person of interest in the case.
