Why Haven’t Their Killers Been Found?

As the year draws to a close, the families of Achazia James and Yenifer Bridge anxiously await updates from the police regarding the pursuit of justice for the horrific loss of their loved ones.

Achazia, just 15 years old, suffered a tragic fate, found on Runway Beach in August with severe injuries, including a severed hand and multiple slashes on her face.

Similarly, Yenifer’s life was violently taken at the tender age of 16, after she was abducted, assaulted, and strangled, leaving her family heartbroken.

These young girls were taken from us far too early, their futures and dreams cruelly snatched away.

The investigation into their deaths is ongoing, with Police Commissioner Atlee Rodney acknowledging the vital role the community has played in solving significant cases.

We can only hope that the senseless violence that claimed these young lives will inspire a renewed sense of community and action in 2025.
