When the Murder Remains Unsolved

The newspaper article about Bess Klassen-Landis that we posted yesterday mentions that the murder of Bess's mother remains unsolved. Several MVFHR members are in this situation -- the murder of their loved one has never been solved -- and we are planning to do a story about their experience for our spring newsletter, so watch for that, and if you fit that description and want to talk to us about it, by all means get in touch.

Meanwhile, we've just added Tennessee member James Staub's page to our online Gallery of Victims' Stories. James's mother was murdered in Georgia in 1995; she was apparently struck in the back of the head with a tire iron, but no one was ever caught and the murder remains unsolved. James is one of several Tennessee members whom we are adding to the Gallery during this crucial period during which Tennessee's new death penalty study committee is reviewing all aspects of the issue.
