Investigators hope someone will come forward with information.

“Sometimes people with evidence are too intimidated to come forward to police at the outset of such a traumatizing event,” Elliot said. “We certainly understand that fear, though we’re hopeful that anyone with information regarding this murder will feel more comfortable now to contact police or Crime Stoppers anonymously.”
