It’s been nearly a decade since the body of 25-year-old Renee Eldridge was discovered partially submerged at the Osanippa Creek under the Hopewell Road Bridge in Valley.

“My sister was kidnapped from her home,” said Hawk. “She was sexually assaulted and she was beat to death. She was tide up and dumped in a creek.”

On the eve of the day police said she went missing nine years ago, we met with her older sister Nicole Hawk.

“I was big sister and she always looked to me for, you know, protection,” she explained. “I was her protector and to not be there in that moment, it’s hard to live with.”

After many many court appearances and interviews, Hawk says she’s felt many emotions since the death of her sister.

“It’s a roller coaster of emotions, you know, from sadness to disappointment with dealing with courts and the way they’ve continued to fail my sister,” Hawk said. “So, you have anger behind that, but just sadness...we miss her,” said Hawk.
