This brought a few tears to my eyes listening to the daughter talk. I certainly hope that she can finally heal & grieve now that the Moab Detective took another look at her mother’s murder case. It’s unfortunate that her killer was never caught and brought to justice.

He is getting a whole different level of justice where he is now.

That's no friend, lady, to say that about your father. So sorry for the immense pain you and your family endured.

[@tamipierce5916]

It all depends on the situation...!! I'm guessing a lot of the locals thought he dad was guilty....!!

[@inthekitchen8842]

So glad that the daughter can hold her head up and say, My Dad didn't do it! Those folks her thought he did, need to apologize to her.😢

[@robertpesa4157]

They had evidence from 51 years ago? Wow

[@marciahille3155]

Figures he is dead.

At LEAST there's NO TAX Dollars wasted to bring He to Trial, or putting he in prison.

It's very sad that this went unsolved as long as they did. But I am glad they didn't lock up her dad either some cockamamie story invented by authorities. This could have been so much more tragic that way

How horrible.

Your sins will be found out.

[@lenaaustin6692]

Amen. Thank you Jesus

[@GospelGary]

"But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out." Numbers 32:23 It is a warning by Moses to the tribes Ruben & Gad and the half tribe of Manasah regarding dereliction of duty pertaining to a land grant and has nothing to do with robbery, rape and/or murder, of which this case pertains to.

@@GospelGary Verses of scripture do or will have other applications. In this case, if the criminal never accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior, The man's sins will find him and justice will be completed.

I can't imagine running a business where one of my parents was brutally murdered.

I am thankful it over the problem is all those people never apologize. They hate me for a crime I never did.
