Alicia Weaver, 20, of Hazleton, Pennsylvania, was reported missing on a Saturday in November 2010 and found dead the following Sunday evening off a dirt path in a wooded area in Foster Township. An autopsy confirmed her death was a homicide; investigators determined she had been shot. Reports noted Weaver may have had associations with people involved in drugs and prostitution and that she reportedly owed money to some individuals. Her sister said owing money was no reason for her to lose her life.

The investigation led to the arrest of Benjamin Westbrooks of West Hazleton. In May 2012 a jury found Westbrooks guilty of first-degree murder; prosecutors argued Weaver owed Westbrooks money and a witness, Brandon Crum, testified he was in the car with Westbrooks and saw him kill Weaver. After more than seven hours of deliberation the jury returned a guilty verdict and Westbrooks was immediately sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Did anyone in the area know Alicia or have information about her movements in November 2010?
