EP 48: The Tragic College Murder of Alexis Crawford

38 minutes

Alexis Crawford was 21 years old and starting her senior year of college at Clark Atlanta University. It was Halloween weekend when her family reported her missing. They hadn’t heard from her and this was very unlike Alexis. They talked with her everyday. Her body is tragically found 9 days later. A suspect led police to the body and many were shocked to find out who, but even more shocked to find out why. Unfortunately, this case has not been taken to trial yet–six years later. We hope it gets resolved soon and the family can finally get some justice for their daughter.
