Hampton Police Division Bertha Farrish 114 Bayhaven Drive Hampton

About the Case:

On January 26, 1976, at approximately 0115 to 0130 hours, the victim's mother returned home to find her 26-year-old daughter lying at the end of the hallway in a pool of blood. The victim's father last spoke to her on the phone at 11 p.m. on January 25, 1976, when she advised she was going to bed. The victim was stabbed while lying in bed. There were no signs of forced entry, and the windows were secure and locked. The back patio door was opened and unlocked even though the father of the victim states he had locked it. The victim's father was the only other person home that night and he did not hear anything until his wife woke him up screaming after she located their daughter in the hallway.
