''ATLANTA - For more than three decades, Princella Eppes' family has had to wonder who shot and killed the 22-year-old inside her apartment. Now, an investigator with the Atlanta Police Department is reviewing the case to try to find them answers.

"This right now is everything. I need this," said Kim Beasley, Eppe's older sister. "I need for my sister's death to be acknowledged. I need to know what happened to her and so, I have faith that we will know. I have faith that we are doing everything within our power as a family to make sure that people know about her and that we love her still today and that we miss her."

''According to the FOX 5 archives, a maintenance worker at The Earle Apartments on North Highland Avenue found Eppes dead inside her unit on July 9, 1990. The last time anyone had seen Eppes alive was three days earlier. Investigators determined she had been shot in the head.

Police have never been able to make an arrest in the case.

Beasley said her sister had only moved into the apartment about a week prior to her death. She described her as outgoing and energetic.''
