New Investigator put on Imari Galvez Murder

The family of the late Imari Galvez is still holding out hope that justice will be served for her murder. In May 2023, the nineteen-year-old was found lifeless on the side of the Hummingbird Highway, having apparently been choked to death. Investigators have been unable to make an arrest due to a lack of evidence. ComPol Williams says that progress in the case is slow, but the department has not given up their efforts.

“I met with the family members, the mother and the father. I appointed a new investigator that is now being looked at by the special team that I put together following the S.O.E. and we are making very slow progress and I’m hoping that we’ll be able to reach a stage where we get sufficient evidence to be able to charge someone. We have a basic idea in terms of where we’re going, what we’re looking for. So again, like I said before, we are looking at a number of these investigations that have been closed. We’re opening them and we’re making arrests and I’m hoping that the Imari Galvez case is going to be one of those that we can make an arrest very shortly.”

“Is it true that the previous investigator refused to interview an eyewitness?”
