The 6th anniversary of Faith’s brutal murder has now passed with, as expected not much new. I won’t link to the various local news coverage, but will mention that from reports it does now seem clear (as I’d previously hoped/assumed) that the case has been given to Parabon Labs genetic genealogy test group for investigation. I don’t know how much if any work they have already done on it, or where the case sits in terms of priority with all their other cases, but my guess (and solely a GUESS) is that some notable result will come from that by the end of February next year. Certainly hope so. There are friends and family of Faith who may well be deceased, and sadly never getting answers, before resolution comes to this case. Is the perp(s) even still alive and still in the U.S.???
Chapel Hill police also released their now obligatory yearly request for further information from anyone in the public who may harbor additional information, no matter how small. Specifically, the lead investigator is quoted as saying,
“We continue to believe that someone knows more about this case than they have been willing to tell us. We’re pleading to that person or people to come forward so we can provide closure to Faith’s family, friends, and the Chapel Hill community.”
The specific wording certainly makes it sound like they have specific individuals in mind who they think have not told all they know. And anyone who has followed this case knows several of the names of who such individuals might be. Do police believe these individuals were present at the crime scene, or just have knowledge through contacts of what transpired? Are police still in touch with such persons on a regular basis? Do they still know the whereabouts/addresses of all such individuals? Or is it possible they think there are persons they have never even contacted who hold key information?
I continue to put more faith in Parabon and technology to solve this case than appeals to the public.
Meanwhile, Tom Gasparoli no longer seems to be covering the case, and did not do his usual update on this 6th anniversary.
In any event, here's hoping there will be NO 7th anniversary of this case as an unsolved crime.
