Tuesday night in Knox, people continued to remember and carry on the legacy of Kenneth White. 

People joined in prayer at the same place his body was found four years ago. The 5-year-old boy was killed by his then-19-year-old cousin.

Since that day, the community has worked to make sure no other child would have to suffer the way he did. 

They successfully pushed for the passage of Kenneth's Law, which makes it easier for law enforcement to get records from Child Protective Services.

"Never again will he have to suffer what he did. Four years ago these hill towns were angry and shocked, and we still are four years later. Kenneth is missed by those who loved him, but by so many more that never had the opportunity [to know him]," said Mary Claire Rea Ansbro-Ingalls with Kenneth's Army.

A moment of silence was also taken for Rayen Puleski, the infant who died in Schenectady over the summer. That boy's mother has been charged in connection to his death. 

Organized by Kenneth's Army, Tuesday night's candlelight vigil took place on Thacher Park Road in East Berne where Kenneth's body was found.

Tiffany VanAlstyne is serving 18 years to life in prison for killing Kenneth. She had previously admitted the murder in November 2015 in Albany County Court as part of a plea deal.

VanAlstyne, who has been diagnosed as mentally ill according to family court records, was home alone with Kenneth and his two sisters on December 18, 2014. She had previously told investigators that she was wrestling with Kenneth and ended up strangling him for an unknown reason. VanAlstyne carried the boy's body down the street and dumped it in a snow bank, then reported that Kenneth had been abducted by two masked men in a pickup truck. The ensuing Amber Alert only lasted several hours before investigators learned the truth.
