In the early morning hours of October 23rd, 1988, the body of Tammy Thorpe, 20, was discovered off a gravel road outside Warrenton, Virginia.
According to police, Tammy was last seen around 3:00am driving her 1986 Pontiac Grand Am. The State Medical Examiner determined Tammy had been shot multiple times and evidence from the scene indicated a small caliber handgun was involved.
Tammy had been working as a secretary in Marshall at the time of her death.
In 2013, a Faquier County resident, who remains anonymous, raised the reward for information that leads to an arrest of the person or persons responsible for Tammy's murder to $30,000. In addition, there is a $1,000 reward for information leading to an arrest offered by Crime Solvers.
A profile completed by the FBI at Quantico concluded Tammy most likely knew the person who murdered her. Officials said in a 2013 press release that they know someone in Warrenton knows what happened, and they hope the added reward money will help bring them forward.
