MURFREESBORO, Tenn. -
A Rutherford County woman is continuing to search for answers nearly a year after her 30-year-old son was found dead at his home near East Jefferson Pike.
Edward Dawayne Gooch died on February 14, 2011 after his girlfriend reported being awakened by the sound of someone shouting and making demands of her boyfriend at his home.
"I just want to find out what happened. I've gone through one year without knowing. I need some answers. I need a peace of mind," mother Vera Frazier said.
Gooch's girlfriend said that she discovered him face down and bound. The home was also said to have been ransacked.
"Ms. Thompson was unsure who the alleged suspects were and could not offer any clue as to their identity," Detective Ralph Mayercik said. "I'm looking for any information about the home invasion or the circumstances at the home that night."
Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Rutherford County Crime Stoppers is offering a reward up to $1,000
Anyone with any information is urged to call police at 615-604-3044 or Crime Stoppers at 615-893-7867.
