In May 1984, Murfreesboro, Tennessee was shaken by the brutal murder of Laura Salmon.  At the time, Laura was an 18-year-old college student attending Middle Tennessee State University.  Her murder shocked the community and left investigators with plenty of circumstantial evidence but not much hard proof.  The case remained unsolved for over sixteen years until new DNA evidence led to the arrest and conviction of their prime suspect. The murder of Laura Salmon remains a tragic reminder of the impact of dating violence on individuals and communities, and a testament to the tireless efforts of law enforcement to bring justice to victims and their families.
