Cold Case Spotlight

33-year-old Rachel Galbreath was found in a pool of blood in her own apartment on May 9, 2014 in South Holland, Illinois. Coworkers went to check on her after she failed to show up for work and found her body. The medical examiner determined she had multiple injuries to her head and body. Despite hundreds of pieces of evidence and dozens of interviews with anyone that knew Ms. Galbreath, detectives have been unable to make an arrest. Up to this point the evidence has not pointed to anyone specifically. Anyone with information about the 2014 murder of Rachel Galbreath is asked to contact the South Holland Police Department at (708) 331-3131.
