Families continue seeking justice one year after Brian Epperson’s arrest.
One year after Reacheal Dawson was found dead from an overdose at the Red Roof Inn in Winchester, the people who loved her say they are still waiting for justice.
Friday marks the first anniversary of Dawson’s death. Her former partner, Kaylieb Thompson, said the past year has been filled with grief and disbelief.
“It doesn’t feel like a year. It doesn’t feel like it’s been a whole year. I don’t know how I’ve done a whole year.”
