August 22nd: Helena Greenwood Found Dead (David Paul Frediani)(1985)

Every victim deserves justice. On August 22nd 1985 a woman’s body was found and, though everyone had a pretty good idea who the killer was, there was nothing connecting him to the crime that would warrant an arrest. So, from beyond the grave, she made sure to get the justice she deserved.
