Mother Seeks Public Help in Solving Son’s Murder Case
The mother of Reed Rigsby, who was tragically found dead in a Birmingham home on 6th Avenue South on July 22, 2022, is reaching out to the public for assistance in finding the suspect responsible for her son’s murder. It has been a year since Laurie Rigsby last spoke to her son, and the pain still feels fresh for her. You hope in the back of your mind, something happens, and you’re just kind of hoping it’s not real, and you kind of do that for a couple of days, she said.
Over the past year, the family has been tirelessly working to gather more information about Reed’s murder. While a private investigator has uncovered some small leads, no major breakthroughs have been made in the case. Laurie Rigsby expresses her frustration and confusion, asking, Is that the right thing for right now? For us to understand what’s going on and to heal and not have anger towards this person? Because I don’t know what happened. Despite wanting closure for her family, Laurie emphasizes the importance of ensuring that this crime does not happen to anyone else.
If Reed were here today, his selfless spirit would shine through, according to his mother. I think he would be happy with what we are doing, Laurie said. But I also know he would probably say, ‘Don’t spend all your time worrying about me, or this. I know y’all loved me, and I wouldn’t want you to sit here and worry about me all the time.’
Birmingham Police are now urging anyone with information about Reed Rigsby’s murder to come forward. The investigation has seen no major developments in the past year, and their plea is a desperate attempt to find new leads and shed light on this devastating case. Reed’s family hopes that by solving this crime, they can find closure and prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future.
To aid in the investigation, the public can provide information anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777 or directly contact the Birmingham Police Department at 205-254-1716. Their cooperation and assistance could be crucial in bringing justice to Reed Rigsby and his grieving family.
In times like these, it is vital for the community to come together and support those affected by such senseless acts of violence. The pain and loss faced by Reed’s family are unimaginable, and by rallying together, we can strive to create a safer environment for everyone. Remember, any piece of information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, could be the missing link needed to solve this case and bring closure to a mother who just wants justice for her son. Let us join hands, speak up, and work towards a safer and more compassionate community.
