On Sunday, August 29, 1993, the body of 18-year-old Audrey Hamilton was found in the rear of a house in the 600 block of Savannah Street, SE. She had been raped and murdered

Audrey, an aspiring beautician and model, told her friends at a McDonald’s that she was tired and was going home. It was near midnight. To protect herself on the walk from the Martin Luther King Avenue restaurant to her home on Mississippi Avenue, she carried an empty glass bottle.


Audrey’s body was discovered the next morning in the 600 block of Savannah Avenue, near Ballou High School.

Police are still looking for her killers and believe there is someone in that neighborhood with information about who is responsible for Audrey’s death. They hope that person will come forward.

Witnesses said a man, described as about 5-feet 6-inches tall and weighing 120 pounds, ran across the Sixth Street, put his arms around Audrey and walked away with her.


Moments later, a second man was seen in the area. Police believe he may also be involved in the murder because Audrey had been assaulted by a least two people.

The man who first approached Audrey either knew her or threatened her with force if she did not walk with him, police believe.
She was found by a maintenance man next to a concrete divider on a patch of lawn behind a decrepit four-story brick apartment building at Sixth and Savannah streets SE.

Two months later, a second woman, Deborah McManus, was found beaten and strangled to death behind Ballou High School, possibly by the same person, because the conditions of the bodies were similar and some characteristics of the attacks matched.

I just found out that they recently captured and charged a man named William Ransford, 58 for Deborahs murder. I don't know if they are related at all
