WOONSOCKET, R.I. (WPRI) - The Woonsocket police department is hoping high profile billboards in their city could help solve four cold cases.
The billboards would be placed throughout the city and would read "Who Killed Me?," with pictures of murder victims from years past.
The idea is that they would potentially bring some new information forward in these cold cases.
Police hope the publicity will help solve the following cases:
- Katrina McVeigh, 27, vanished back in 1992. Her body was never found.
- Meageann Paul, 26, was stabbed to death back in 1994.
- Brandon Smith, 17, was shot to death in 2008
- Robert Jones, 22, killed in 2008
The police department hopes to partner with the Woonsocket Prevention Coalition to put up the billboards as soon as possible.
