Part 1. On January 26, 1994, 17-year-old Tami Renee Jackson’s body is discovered. Port Authority workers on Hutchinson Island, near Savannah, Georgia, find Tami; she has been stabbed more than 130 times, is bound, and has been run over by a vehicle. Investigators process evidence at the scene and conduct interviews with potential witnesses, but eventually, the case goes cold. In this episode of Zone 7, Crime Scene Investigator, Sheryl McCollum, talks with Stacy Patterson, sister of Tami Jackson. They discuss how Sheryl became involved in the case, what life was like for Tami and her siblings, the events leading up to Tami’s brutal murder, and the family’s efforts to keep the murder investigation moving forward. Stacy shares how the detective assigned to the case, Detective Tarra Smith, has inspired renewed hope that after more than two decades, there will finally be justice for Tami Jackson.
