(CHARLOTTESVILLE – WINA) The family and friends of the late Pherbia Faye Tinsley assembled Saturday afternoon at Forest Hills Park in Charlottesville. They released blue balloons, which reflect Tinsley’s favorite color.
Five years have passed since the 51-year-old’s body was found slumped over the wheel of her car on Prospect Avenue. That discovery was made on Saturday, July 14th, 2012.
Tinsley won $700 in a bingo game the night before she died. She also got a phone call from a man she knew early on the morning of her death. Several generations of Tinsley’s family assembled for the balloon release and prayed the identity of her murderer will be revealed soon.
