Missing Woman's Case Re-opened After 20 Years UPDATE Save Email Print Posted: 1:26 PM May 4, 2009 Last Updated: 2:08 PM May 4, 2009 Reporter: La'Tasha Givens Email Address: latasha.givens@wctv.tv 0 comments A | A | A Updated 1:23 p.m. (5/4/09) An arrest is made involving a 20-year-old cold case. The case involves a woman who disappeared from Cairo. After 20 long years an arrest is made in the Glenda Quisenberry case. Federal marshals arrested Jerry Hobbs in connection with Quisenberry's disappearance. Investigators say Jerry Hobbs was caught in San Antonio, Texas outside a Popeye's Chicken restaurant on Friday. Hobbs is now the lead suspect in the case. Quisenberry was last seen 20 years ago with Hobbs who was her boyfriend at the time. Witnesses told police Hobbs was carrying Quisenberry over his shoulder as he left a shelter in Cairo, Georgia. Authorities say Hobbs remains in Texas waiting to be extradited back to Thomasville. A WCTV reporter spoke with Quisenberry's youngest sister Mary High Smith...and she says the family is happy to finally have an arrest after this long. They say they just want to have some closure. ------------------------------------------------------------------- It's been twenty years since Mary High Smith and Elizabeth Murphy last saw their sister Glenda Quisenberry. "She was a good kind hearted person. She would give her last drink of water and her last bite of bread" says her sister Elizabeth Murphy. Many birthdays and holidays have come and gone, but still no word on her whereabouts. "For Christmas and Thanksgiving she would always come and we would all be together", says Murphy. Quisenberry was last seen in Grady County at a shelter for battered women. Witnesses say she was being carried over the shoulders of her then boyfriend. And from there the case goes cold. A change in administration at the Thomas County Sheriff's Office prompted investigators to take a second look at this case. New technology which they could not discuss has them steps closer to solving this case. "If we could find out what happened to her maybe then we could have some closure with it" says Smith. Murphy says," We have her headstone out there and I would love to have her body to put in it." For now Glenda Quisenberry's headstone lies with her parents and younger brother but hers remain without a date. Investigators need your help solving this case. If anyone has seen Glenda Quisenberry or have any information on this case contact the Thomas County Sheriff's Office at 229.225.3315. Video at link http://www.wctv.tv/home/headlines/44186952.html |
