On a tragic day in Fairfield, Alabama, the lives of a mother and son were cut short in a violent act that continues to baffle investigators. Catherine "Mrs. Cat" Honor, a 48-year-old mixed-race female, and her 23-year-old son, Tavaris Glenn Honor, were found deceased on June 3, 2019. The two were victims of a double homicide, discovered inside their home on 57th Street.
This devastating event unfolded at a residence already marked by a past tragedy; another of Catherine's sons had been murdered at the same house in 2016.
The initial investigation into the deaths of Catherine and Tavaris Honor was handled by the Fairfield Police Department. However, the case has since grown cold, with no publicly identified suspects or arrests made in the years following the killings. The lack of progress has been a source of ongoing pain and frustration for the family, who have reported receiving minimal updates from law enforcement.
Further complicating the pursuit of justice, it was later revealed that when the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office took over law enforcement duties in Fairfield in September 2019, the Fairfield Police Department did not request their assistance with this ongoing double homicide investigation. More recently, the Jefferson County Bessemer Cutoff District Attorney's Office has reportedly taken an interest in the case, with the chief investigator seeking to obtain the case files from the Fairfield Police to review any potential leads. Despite these developments, the case of who killed Catherine and Tavaris Honor officially remains unsolved, leaving a community and a grieving family waiting for answers.
