A woman is discovered dead due to blunt force trauma in her apartment
On a Friday in late April of 1983, the quiet life of a Virginia Beach woman came to a tragic and violent end. Hazel Williams, a 55-year-old Black female, was discovered deceased in her apartment located in the 800 block of Virginia Beach Boulevard on April 22nd. Investigators determined that she had succumbed to blunt force trauma, and her death was officially ruled a homicide. She was last seen alive earlier that same day, walking in the vicinity of 17th and 18th Streets. At the time of her death, Hazel was described as being 5' 3' tall, weighing 155 pounds, with shoulder-length black hair. She lived by herself in her apartment.
In the years that have passed since her death, the case of Hazel Williams has grown cold. Despite the initial investigation and the passage of time, no arrests have ever been made in connection with her murder. The Virginia Beach Police Department continues to list her case among its unsolved homicides, a silent testament to a life cut short and a quest for justice that remains unfulfilled. There is no publicly available information that identifies any suspects who may have been involved in her death. The circumstances surrounding her final hours and the motive for her killing are still unknown, leaving a void in the narrative of her life and a lingering sense of unresolved loss in the community.
