Patrice Endres was murdered nearly two decades ago in a case that has been clouded with suspicion since day-one. With it being so long since the homicide took place, is there still hope in solving this cold case?
WRBL News reported that yesterday was the 18th anniversary of the murder of Patrice Endres, in an article that aimed to bring public awareness to her case. The Georgia woman’s case began on April 15, 2004 — when she vanished in broad daylight from a salon in Forsythe County. For nearly two years authorities and loved ones searched for Endres until her remains were located several miles away from where she was last seen in the back of a church building. Patrice Endres was murdered, but to this day her cause of death has never been shared with the public due to the seriousness of the investigation.
Over the course of the past 18 years, at least two serial killers have confessed to killing her. Her case has also been featured on the once-popular show Unsolved Mysteries. The popularity of the episode featuring her story has sparked a handful of theories. Many fans of the show believe that she was murdered by a serial killer who abducted her from the hair salon where she worked. Others, on the other hand, are heavily suspicious of the Georgia woman’s second husband.
With it being nearly 20 years since her body was found, it’s hard to see the end for this unsolved case. Maybe it’s time for authorities to release more information regarding her murder, such as her cause of death or some other kind of evidence that they’ve kept close to the investigation. Releasing new information could refresh public interest in her case, and might even inspire someone to remember vital details that might lend to solving this mystery.
