The State is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the death of Sandra Denise Thomas.

On March 29, 2011, the body of Sandra Denise Thomas, age 41, was found in a ditch on Lawrence Street in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina. Ms. Thomas suffered massive traumatic injuries.

Ongoing efforts in this case have continued in hopes to bring closure for the family and justice for Ms. Thomas. The State is renewing the reward with the increased amount to assist with the investigation of this cold case.
