♦ I read with interest the Sheriff’s Office’s Unsolved Murders–Cold Case Files on the Rowan Free Press. The Sheriff’s Office is doing a service for the families of the murdered to post information that might lead to closure for some of the them.
I was very disappointed to discover when I visited the Salisbury Police Department website they lacked an Unsolved Murders/Cold Case File. How will they ever solve the dozens of unsolved murders in Salisbury, N.C. or assist families in healing and finding justice?
Many friends and family of Reesa Dawn Trexler, a 15 year-old high school student, still carry around the pain of the young woman’s brutal stabbing death on Bringle Ferry Road in 1984. With no listing of Unsolved Murders on the Salisbury Police Department website, murder victims are quickly forgotten and cases are given almost no chance to be opened again.
How many bodies in unquiet graves go on year after year in Salisbury with no attempt to bring their murderers to justice?
If you want to pay your respects for Reesa Dawn Trexler, who died brutally at the hands of an unknown killer, go to “Remember Reesa Dawn Trexler” on Facebook and pay your respects.

Please go to the Salisbury Police and ask them why don’t they host an Unsolved Murder website.
