Unsolved Murders Make Thanksgiving Hard For Some
BALTIMORE (WJZ)--Families across Baltimore will gather together in just days to celebrate Thanksgiving.
But Mary Bubala reports that for some families, there's something missing from their tables— a family member.
Thanksgiving dinner comes a few days early for 10 Baltimore city parents who've come together to support each other. They all have a son who was murdered, and the case remains unsolved.
"To lose one person, that person belongs to somebody, and that's how I feel," said Jessie Snead, whose son was murdered. "I don't want to hear we only lost these many people compared to whatever year."
Snead's son, Terrance Thompson, was murdered in 1993. It's been a cold case for 17 years.
City Council President Jack Young gathered with these grieving families, knowing time does not heal their pain when the wound is still open.
Holidays are especially difficult, but these families are trying to stay strong and hopeful that police will make an arrest.
"I want them to know I am still here," Snead said. "I don't stop because it hurts."
The parents of the murder victims and the city council president are hoping to encourage witnesses to come forward and help solve these cold cases.
