This morning I talked with a Captain at Macon PD. He told me that once the case remains unsolved for 1 year it will become a cold case.

This Captain will be the person who will take over the investigation at that point. He stated once he officially receives the case he will start back at square one. He will look at all the evidence and talk to potential suspects and witnesses again. I think a new, fresh set of eyes will be good. Maybe he will see something that was missed previously.

He told me he has already profiled mom's case of Fox 24's Fox Files. I did not know this, so of course I was not able to watch. I expressed to him I could not believe this was a 'perfect' crime, with the killer leaving no evidence behind; he agreed. Let's hope and pray for the best.

In my previous post I shared some of the horrific details of the day my mom's body was found. Some people have asked me over the past year did the gentleman (Brother Franklin) who preached mom's funeral not know her. That is not true. My mom grew up in Brother Franklin's church. He has known her and her family for many, many years. At the time of her funeral I was in a daze. I didn't know what or how to do. I asked Brother Franklin to keep her service generic and not mention the manner in which she died. I know the service did not serve justice to my mom's life. Then, and even now, I did not know if her murderer was in the congregation. Even if I wanted to, I cannot go back and re-do that service. What's done is done.

Even though this year has been the worst of my life, not everything has been negative. Because of this nightmare, I now know I did marry my soul mate. My husband has been my rock, always here for me, supporting and understanding. I also know I have the most compassionate little boy. He amazes me almost daily by his gentle, loving spirit. I know I have survived the past year only because of my 2 great guys!
