Local article from 2014: www.graysonrecord.com/content/peonia-murder-still-investigated
Thoughts? According to an article from 2014, Eva's family believes one person is responsible for her murder, and that he was underage and left the area before or after turning 18. Unfortunately, there still doesn't seem to be any arrests despite that as of this posting date. (8/11/2018).
