The ad was taken out Sunday. Jordan said he had a very specific reason why he did it.
“And so this is kind of like my birthday wish to my families, and my wish to them is that they stay strong through the fight,” Jordan said. “I hope that if anyone has any clues of any of these unsolved murders, these 12, they can call 74-CRIME. That’s for Crime Stoppers. You know, we just need some clues, and this is one of the reasons why we did it.”
Jordan said an arrest has been made in one of those cases featured, the Gilbert Fowler homicide, which took one off of the list. Many more still need to be solved.
Anyone with any information has been urged to call Crime Stoppers at 615-74-CRIME (615-742-7463).
