''She had been stabbed multiple times.
“The brutality of this crime against her, it did seem very personal, and it was very violent,” said Denny, a special agent with the SBI’s cold case unit.

There was a lot of evidence for deputies to collect. One luxury investigators didn’t have in 2005 was cell phone data or an online trail. They started working things the old-fashioned way, asking around about Richardson.
“Unfortunately, she would voice her opinion on certain things, so she had some people that did not like her,” Tracy said.'

' As time moves by, and people move or pass away, one thing that’s improved is DNA testing.
“DNA has come leaps and bounds since 2005. It’s not even in the same playing field anymore,” Denny said.'
