She Was Dumped on The Side of The Freeway
The murder of a 17 year old.
On June 1st, 2004, Tammy Matney watched the news about an unidentified female found with no identification on the side of Gene Snyder Freeway about a mile from Dixie Highway in Louisville Kentucky. There was no way of knowing but she had a sick feeling in the pit of her stomach.
The unknown female turned out to be her 17-year-old teenage sister. Her name was Angela Nelson-Carroll. She had blunt force trauma to the head, and she was strangled. The place her body was found was not where she was killed. Though investigators believe she was killed right before she was dumped. It was road crew workers who found her body and they would say it looked like someone pushed or rolled her down the embankment.
Angela was married to Robert Carroll, but he was incarcerated when the murder happened. The news reports also stated she had a boyfriend who was questioned and released. There were other leads, but nothing would come of them.
It’s been twenty years since she was killed. She would be 37 years old. Her life was taken from her so brutally. Time and life have moved forward and so has the killer’s life. They got away with this. Have they done it since? Did they do it before her?
