Breaking News for Culpeper and Warrenton Accident Victims

TV show to feature death of Culpeper teacher


Posted on Jul 25, 2008

Family members of a kindergarten teacher whose 2006 death remains unsolved hope that clues will emerge after the case is featured on ABC's "Primetime Crime."

Justine Swartz Abshire, then a teacher at Culpeper's Emerald Hill Elementary School, was found dead the night of Nov. 3, 2006, alongside a road in Barboursville, near the Greene County line. State police originally described the death as a hit-and-run. The investigation remains open.

Abshire had married just six months before and was 27. Her story is to be featured July 30 on the ABC program.

Abshire's parents, Steve and Heidi Swartz, and her sister, Lauren, have consistently sought answers and said last week that they hope the national broadcast will shed more light on what happened.
