TIMES SQUARE, NEW YORK CITY – Madison Brooks' mom shielded her young sons from the messy, public aftermath of her daughter's alleged rape and death while wrestling with her own grief "by continuing Madi's work." 

"What's helped me is my faith, and knowing I will see her again, one day," Brooks' mom, Ashley Baustert, told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview. "I remember all the good memories I had for 19 years with Madi, and that gives me a lot of comfort."

The Baton Rouge, Louisiana, case captured national headlines and has played out in the public eye. 

Within a month of Brooks' death on Jan. 15, when she was hit by a car on a Baton Rouge highway after her alleged rapists dropped her off on the side of the road, lawyers representing the four suspects released two short videos to local news stations that showed Brooks in a negative light.

The first clip was a four-second video released to local news outlet WAFB 9 about two weeks after she died and appeared to show Brooks jogging behind her suspected attackers as they left Reggie's Bar in Tigerland, LSU's social hotspot that's been plagued by crime.

The second clip, a 29-second video from video inside the car, was obtained by WBRZ 2 and aired on Feb. 13 along with an interview with the suspects' lawyers.
