Friends of Emily Anderson, a Caldwell County woman found shot to death in the tool compartment of her pickup truck in January 2006, have created a Web site soliciting more information about her killing.
Anderson's best friend, Patricia Thorpe, said Wednesday that the Web site was created by friends to raise reward money for information leading to the arrest and conviction of her killer.
Friends are offering a $2,500 reward for that information, Thorpe said, and people wanting to make donations to the reward fund can contribute through the Web site at emilygriffittanderson.com or by visiting any Wachovia Bank.
Emily Anderson was last seen alive on Dec. 29, 2005. Ten days later, her Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck was found in an S.C. restaurant parking lot, about 100 miles from Caldwell County. She had been shot twice, and her body had been crammed into the truck bed's large tool box.
Her husband, Jerry Anderson, was charged with first-degree murder, but a judge declared a mistrial in July after Gaston County jury could not reach a unanimous verdict. Jurors were split 11-1, and the majority decided Anderson was not guilty. He is out of jail on bond.
Anyone with information about Emily Anderson's death is asked to call the Caldwell County Sheriff's Office at 828-758-2324.
