In the late summer of 2016, the life of 33-year-old Audrea Michell Lambert Marks, a Caucasian female, was tragically cut short in Savannah, Georgia. On the evening of August 22nd, she was discovered in the backyard of a home on Northbrook Road, having been fatally shot. The Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department was called to the scene at approximately 10 p.m.
to begin what would become a complex and lingering investigation.
A native of Bainbridge, Georgia, Audrea had made Savannah her home for over three years. She was a mother who was remembered for her love of music and shopping, but above all, for the deep affection she held for her children. Her sudden and violent death left her family, including her husband and children, grappling with an immense loss and a multitude of unanswered questions.
In the immediate aftermath of the discovery, investigators from the violent crimes unit began to piece together the circumstances surrounding her death. The police department indicated that the shooting did not appear to be a random act of violence. They suggested that there was evidence of 'risky behavior' occurring at the residence, though the specific nature of this activity was not publicly detailed. This initial assessment pointed towards a targeted incident, though the motive remained elusive.
Despite the ongoing investigation and appeals to the public for any information that could lead to a breakthrough, the case has grown cold. To date, no arrests have been made in connection with the murder of Audrea Marks, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The case remains an unsolved homicide, leaving a void in the lives of her loved ones and a lingering sense of injustice in the community. Authorities continue to urge anyone with knowledge of the incident to come forward as the search for answers and accountability continues.
