On August 20, 2000, officers from the Waynesboro Police Department responded to a home at 158 South Charlotte Avenue and found 92-year-old Virginia Cauley Webb murdered in her residence. An autopsy at the Roanoke Medical Examiner’s Office determined the cause of death was asphyxiation due to strangulation.

Investigators from Waynesboro and the Virginia State Police processed the scene over the next two days and formed a joint task force. That team followed more than 120 leads and interviewed numerous people; additional leads have surfaced over the years but none produced a suspect. No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

Anyone who knew Virginia, saw activity around 158 South Charlotte Avenue in August 2000, or has information about this homicide is asked to contact the authorities handling the investigation.
