In the early hours of August 4, 2014, 38-year-old Thomas Richard Anderson was killed during a violent home invasion at his rural Street, Maryland residence on Trappe Road. Three masked men forced their way into the home while Anderson was there with his wife and 14-year-old daughter. At least two of the intruders were armed with handguns and demanded money. Anderson struggled to protect his family after one assailant reportedly held a gun to his daughter’s head; he was shot in the upper torso and died at the scene. His wife was also reportedly pistol-whipped and the suspects fled with a small amount of cash.

The Harford County Sheriff’s Office identified robbery as the motive and opened an investigation. Detectives said new evidence surfaced in 2016, but no arrests have been announced. The case is listed as an unsolved cold case and a reward remains available for information leading to an arrest and conviction. If anyone knew Thomas Anderson or has information about the intruders, please come forward to assist the investigation.
