Loved ones hoping for resolution in December 1981 murder of North Carolina teen Rhonda Hinson. - DatelineNBC
“I’ve worked for 41 years trying to find out what happened,” Judy Hinson told Dateline. “I’ve never let it go. I won’t let it go.”
Jill said Rhonda was very popular in school. “She played basketball, she ran track, she was an outstanding tennis player,” she recalled. “She was very likable.” Judy told Dateline that about three months into her new job, Rhonda was invited to attend a company Christmas party. Judy told Dateline she knew her daughter was gone before she got the news. “I told my husband that Rhonda was dead,” Judy recalled. “He said, ‘Don’t say things like that.’ And I said, ‘I know that she’s dead.’”“I think maybe 2:30 a.m., maybe even 3:00, two of the police officers -- the detectives -- and another police officer came to our house and told us,” Judy told Dateline.
Judy told Dateline that Rhonda never told her parents why her behavior was changing. “She was a very private person,” Judy said. “She didn’t tell [us] anything.” Dateline spoke with Larry Griffin, who said he’s been doing investigative writing for years, but prefers the title of philosopher over reporter. He currently publishes his work in The Wilkes Record. In 2018, he took on Rhonda’s case.
