Recently I spoke with a close relative of a murder victim. The case is over a year old and still no arrest. The family's pain and anger were communicated in agonizing detail. The sense of loss is as fresh today as it was over a year ago.
In some instances, investigators become the target of frustration when a case is prolonged and no arrest is made. It becomes difficult for family members to focus their rage when the identity of the killer is unknown.
NC WANTED has been presenting these tragic cases over the last year. Unfortunately, there are numerous unsolved violent crimes being investigated in law enforcement agencies across the state. When the numbers are considered, it is sobering.
One thing is consistent: whether a case is a year old or thirty years old, information from the public is key. Investigators can pursue leads and NC WANTED can feature cases, but without vital details from witnesses the crimes cannot be solved. Please have the courage to contact us with your tips. Your identity can remain confidential.
