Thanks for keeping us updated perfectpink. This case is fairly local and I had my suspicions on the possible perp from the beginning.

Theresa Benn memorialized months after death

Saturday brought one small step toward closure for a family still searching for their loved one’s killer.

Those who loved Theresa Benn have been grieving her death for seven months, but during a memorial held Saturday, it was a time to celebrate her life.

Through tearful hugs, words of encouragement and the eulogy Benn’s Sister, Tonya Sellers waited months to deliver, the mother of three was finally laid to rest.

On the one-year anniversary of her disappearance, Benn’s family is searching for renewed hope in catching her killer...

While the case seems to have gone cold — Lincoln Police still have not named any suspects or persons of interest — the family is still encouraged by investigators’ commitment.

“They promised they’re not going to stop until this case is solved, and I truly believe that,” Sellers said.

It is my understanding that LE knows what happened... and are having difficulty or are in the process of still trying to build the case. That is my understanding as of 9 months ago. I have not had any contact with anyone from the area or with knowledge about the case in some time. That may have changed and I would not know. 2+2 = 4 , but you need a pencil to answer it correctly. Just my opinion as always. Please note that I am not LE.

Thank you for the info!! I cannot remember but does anyone know if any DNA was found at the crime scene?

I didn't hear specifically about DNA, but given the amount of time that passed until her body was discovered... and given the location and water factor... my guess would be no. Also, to be honest, the most likely suspect admitted to being with her the night she disappeared. They were married. If his DNA were found, it wouldn't add much to bolster a case against him. My opinion.

Did they release the cause of death to the public or family? I know it was ruled homicide.

Theresa's case was featured on Crime Watch Daily...husband still will not talk...seems like he's got a lot to hide.

Gov Bentley is offering a reward in Theresa's case! I pray that someone comes forward with information. It's awful that this evil person is being allowed to walk around and no one will come forward with information. Has anyone heard that a girlfriend of KD was involved as well on the night that Theresa disappeared?

'It's about time': Anonymous tip leads to search in 2014 cold case murder of Talladega County woman

Theresa Benn vanished in October 2014 and was later found murdered.

www.wvtm13.com

''LINCOLN, Ala. —
Multiple agencies were called in Tuesday to help Lincoln police investigate a cold case. After a rainy day, the search for new evidence was put on pause.''

Investigators looked for clues by air and ground in a secluded area near Choccolocco Creek just off Brickstore Road and Curry Station Road.

Deputy Chief Neil Fetner told WVTM 13 he couldn’t say what detectives did or didn’t find during the search, but an anonymous tip to police kicked off the search in the cold case again.''
