The Richmond
Police Department has developed a person of interest in the murder of Susan A.
Fairman of the 4700 block of Tanglewood Road.
“Detectives
identified this person within days of the homicide when he was jailed on
charges not directly related to our case,” said Major Crimes Captain James
Laino. “While I wish we could have said something sooner to calm the fears of
the community, we couldn’t speak to the matter publically until we were further
along with the investigation.”
Capt. Laino added
that the person is an adult male who will remain in custody until formal
charges are filed.
At approximately
11:07 p.m. on Thursday, May 9th, RPD officers responded to Fairman’s
home for a welfare check. When officers arrived, they found her unresponsive
inside her residence.
She was pronounced
dead at the scene.
Anyone

Baynes at (804) 646-3617 or contact Crime Stoppers at (804) 780-1000 or at www.7801000.com.
