Often in true crime spaces we come across cases where a murder is never solved, where a murdered person’s family never finds justice, where a body is never properly laid to rest. Sometimes we get one of these things, or two, and, more rarely than it SHOULD happen, sometimes we get all three. Today’s case is all 3: a body found, a murder solved, and justice served. This is the case of April Tinsley.
