Someone Killed Her Inside Her Own Home and Left the 2-Week-Old Behind

In March 2003, 23-year-old Sondresha Koins, a new mother on maternity leave, was found murdered inside her home in Germantown, Tennessee. She had given birth just two weeks earlier and was adjusting to life with her newborn daughter. When a co-worker went to check on her after several days of no contact, police discovered Sondresha’s body in the living room while her baby was found alive and crying nearby. There were no signs of forced entry, no clear evidence of theft, and no obvious motive. Investigators initially considered whether the attack could be linked to a string of nearby home invasions, but they later ruled that theory out. From early on, detectives believed Sondresha may have known her killer, possibly letting them inside voluntarily. Despite interviewing over 100 people and working alongside state investigators, the case quickly went cold. Years later, authorities would arrest a suspect tied to unrelated home invasions in the area, but no charges were ever filed in Sondresha’s case. More than 20 years later, her murder remains the only unsolved homicide in Germantown’s history, leaving investigators and her family still searching for answers. Learn more about your ad choices.
