MURDER: Princella Eppes
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 авг 2024
- On the morning of July 9, 1990, 22-year-old Princella Eppes, a beloved daughter and sister, did not show up for work. This was highly unusual, so Princella’s boss contacted her apartment complex. That afternoon, a maintenance worker was sent to check on her. Upon entering her apartment, he found Princella murdered in her bed. Almost immediately, her case went cold, leaving her family devastated and frustrated. It’s been almost 34 years since Princella was killed, and investigators are still searching for the person responsible…
Princella Eppes was last seen in the parking lot of her Atlanta apartment building on July 6, 1990, between 11:00 pm and 11:45 pm. She was with a man described as around six feet tall, slim, with dark skin. A gunshot was later heard between midnight and 1:00 am.
If you have any information in this case, please call the Atlanta Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477 or use the online form at CrimestoppersAtlanta.org. You may be eligible for a reward.

Poor Princella. Hearing her family talk about her was lovely but so devastating. She seemed like a bright light to so many. To have her ripped away so young and so senselessly is heartbreaking. RIP
The cop being there so close to her murder is HIGHLY suspicious, especially with his history. It seems like too much of a coincidence. And it would explain why her case wasn't properly investigated at the time.
Atlanta PD is corrupt. This coming from a Georgia girl.
It could also be a so-called friend of this evil, but I believe it is the evil cop who is rehired just because someone claims that they are Christian and have changed their ways doesn't mean that they truly are and they've truly changed for the better. There are so many false converts to Christianity that have never been truly Born Again Biblical Christian by the spirit of God. I used to be this type of hypocrite I used to claim I was a Christian but I was not born again I didn't change for the better my heart was evil and wicked but now that I know how sinful it is to a holy God, now I understand sin means it is exceedingly sinful to sin, so by way of the ten Commandments I look at them like a mirror and I see myself for truly who I am, a rotten evil sinner, but now I truly am Born Again biblical Christian. †
Exactly cop being w her, gunshot 1+1=2. My money is on the cop and that beong another reason this case was low priority
I couldn’t help but smile at the story of Princella retrieving her sister’s suitcase. It’s evident that she loved her family deeply and was a fierce protector.
Praying for a resolution to this case, seems solvable. 🙏
This is beyond infuriating!! I wish we could crowd source money and just get that damn DNA tested...FINALLY! I think this case is solvable.
Yes! This family deserves some closure
Othram Lab does this and I believe they only need the police department to do something like a lab certification or something like that and also the crowdfunding is done right to Othram and believe it’s 5000.00.
I’ll donate!!
Me too!
Princella's family sounds so loving and caring. When they were talking I felt as though I had known them my entire life! I loved the memories they shared and pray justice is served for Princella. I can only imagine how hard that must be😢
I kinda like that you mention how long it has been that the victims and families have gone without justice. Goes to show how loved these people were and still are, and that people still care.
Derrick I got tears in my eyes listening to the words you said to the family at the end of the episode. My heart hurts so intensely for them. I have a daughter and I cannot imagine how I would feel if it was her in Princella's position. Her mom and siblings are so so strong. Manifesting justice for them 💔
This family seems to be so good. Princellas great personality shines through her photographs. I hope justice will be done.
I love this family! They shared such sweet memories. I hope they get justice for Princella
Princella's family is incredible, I really hope there's movement in this case soon, they absolutely deserve answers.
I haven't watched the whole episode yet- I'm about 1/3 of the way through- but I wanted to thank you for handling this case so respectfully. The information you gathered from the family has really given such substance and meaning to Bird's case. It's clear that she was loved so much!
I think Princella’s family should talk to a lawyer about the blatant negligence of the police department. Not only did they not investigate properly the first time, but when they begged for the case to be reopened, they were lied to about evidence. It’s crazy that the LE department just brushed that off and said “oops sorry” AND the main person of interest is a dirty cop with a rap sheet? Come on now
Exactly!! I'd be looking to sue the department and the individuals
My favourite Detective Derrick, compassionately narrated, researched with care. Hoping answers are found really soon, thank you for always highlighting cases we know nothing of.
Rip Princella
Thankyou for helping this family get justice for their precious daughter ❤
If some guy , officer or not, ADMITTED to being in her apartment...
He is the one. Bet.
This reminds me of the Sandra Birchmore case in Staunton Mass (Next to Canton with many of the same LEO as Karen Read.) her death was determined to be a “suicide. There are some HEAVY facts that implicate a Leo And it was covered by the department and state police. She was found in what looked like a prisoner hanging themselves (tie to a knob or heavy furniture.)She had been “dating” a married officer. She was pregnant. This dbag admitted to sleeping with her when she was underage. She was part of a youth cadets program. They legit groomed her, “shared” her, and she stayed in an intimate relationship until her death.i believe she was 19.
The last known person to be seen going in and out of her apartment hallway was this officer, with him attempting to be not identifiable on the way in, but he walked out like was unstoppable. I believe there was some pressure that he would leave his wife, and he was pressuring for her to terminate the pregnancy. He was the last one to see her. He said he was going to break it off with her.
She didn’t kill herself. She was so excited for the baby. She wanted . She had supplies and such being delivered, and one package was delivered the day she was found-a crib.
Thank for all you do, and the respect that you give to the families! Also, thank you for restraining yourself from giving facts that could, perhaps, benefit your channel by putting the case first. You are man of integrity and honor!
Man, Princella sounds like the best daughter, sibling, and friend you could have. Why don’t the evil ones’ lives get cut short but the good people’s do?
Thank You for sharing Princella's story.
I will send so much love to the Epps family.
Twenty-Two is too young 🌱
Hi Derrick,
I've followed your podcast since the very beginning (been a fan of Stephanie and Crime Weekly for years too) and just like everyone on here, I feel so proud of what you've achieved with your solo podcast.
I just wanted to let you know how inspiring you are to me, so much so that I've decided I'd like to start my own similar style podcast but with stories from the UK which is where I am. I have no idea what I'm doing or even how to get started, but I do know that I want to help families of missing and murdered people, the way that you do.
Keep doing what you're doing... and red is definitely your colour!
Good luck Abs! I'm in the UK too - looking forward to what you produce 💖👏👏
@TheStar798 thank you so much, that really means a lot! 💚
@@abbs2478 You're very welcome - they're are so many cases to jump into, more creators in our favourite genre can only be a good thing! Please keep us updated on when you start 😁👍💐
Thank you and good luck!
The FBI needs to take over this case imo. And the police department needs to be sued. There is a major conflict of interest with their own cop as a suspect. Let the FBI vet that cop's alibi and not the entity that has stonewalled this case on purpose b/c that is what their behavior screams. Hanging up curtains? Yeah right.
Good Evening Derrick and everyone watching. Take care 😘🏴
Oh my goodness this is so sad. Princella mattered! She matters ❤️
Wow. It seems the DNA is crucial in this case. I’m just dumbfounded as to why it has been basically ignored. Another great case study Detective
Probably because they know it will lead to one of their own officers...which means lawsuit!
is it possible the police officer left after the blinds being put up then wait outside in the bushes to attack princella???? this is my own conclusion of what happen again i can be 100% wrong on my conclusion too as well
Another banger by the detective himself!
The hype I feel to be a true crime consumer when that intro song hits 🔥
Your professionalism is unmatched.
Thanks Derrick!
🕵♂️👏🍍
Goodness! I concur with everything you said!
Edit: Derrick shouldda won at CrimeCon!
This sort of thing really blows my mind, and I see it time and time again with these cases where police officers just straight up don't do their jobs. I'm an AP specialist, and if I didn't process the invoices and payments for my company, I certainly wouldn't get away with it. If I don't do my job, I lose it. It's just crazy to me that I'm being held to a higher standard when in the grand scheme of things, my job isn't really that important. It's not just because the family deserves answers and justice but the fact that a murderer is still on the streets free to reoffend that this is so messed up. I hope that the family finds answers and gets justice for Princella!
It's ridiculous. Law enforcement officers, judges, lawyers, medical professionals, social workers... All of them are exempt from any consequences when they fail or just damn right neglect to perform the bare minimum of their required duties.
And they know it. Worse, they cover for each other.
@annieannie2887 Exactly! You also see this sort of crazy stuff with CPS workers on these true crime cases, too. It's like the jobs that should be held to the highest standards are the ones where people can get away with the absolute most. Worst of all, it can damage people's lives, damage the community, and sometimes even cost people their lives.
Princella was beautiful, inside and out. Excellent coverage of this case, as always. Praying for her and her family to get justice! 🙏
When you said the police didn't contact them for years after already telling them so little, I gasped. Absolutely despicable
Great video, I’m glad you’re bringing attention to this case. There’s no excuse for the ball being dropped so pitifully. I do think there’s a reason for it, and I think it’s because the detectives working the original case were worried it was one of their own, so they were circling the wagons. Sadly, it seems like this is still going on. I can only hope Princella and her family get the justice they deserve.
I like Detective Perspective better than Crime Weekly! Just my opinion❤
You and me both!
Yeah, 'I'm a good person' ..not..ruins it
100%
I live how you tell these type of unsolved cases. I'm an avid true crime follower and you never normally hear about the unsolved cases. It's great how you shine a light on the cases that can actually help get justice
This video really encapsulates why we love you. The empathy, compassion, professionalism, knowledge- honestly we love you!
You are so nice!
I hope you become the best podcast on earth! You deserve every success.
Princella..what a beautiful name. She looked like she had such a lovely soul 🥺
I love both crime weekly and detective perspective and what's the common denominator? This guy!!! Xxx
I'm wondering if the POI policeman still has friends/family in the dept that are dragging the investigation.
It was so poignant to listen to the love and respect the Eppes family has for their sister, yet knowing they're not being served by the civil servants appropriately.
I hope the family finds the answer. This perp is dangerous if still alive, just as dangerous today as he was back in the day.
Thank you Derrick! Your content is very much appreciated ❤
I feel this way every week, but particularly today: Derrick, you are truly a class act. I hope you can hold close to your heart how much of a difference you are making in this world. Not only with the families of these cases, but your viewers too. You are inspiring, kind, and the fact that you're easy on the eyes doesn't hurt either. 😆 Thank you for all you do! Love, Whitney 💗
Excellent coverage, thank you Derrick. Much love and strength to the family. May the closure you need come to pass❤️
Love your show Derrick. It’s a great thing you are doing
Thank you! Hopefully one of these episodes helps make a difference.
What a beautiful nickname!! I hope this family gets the justice that they absolutely deserve!! Love how you honor these victims and their families!! ❤
Thank you Derrick! Very few people match your professionalism when it comes to cases.
Thank you for being such a light in this dark world always doing the hard work to help these victims family love you Derrick and am grateful for you ❤❤
Glad you had a good time at crime con! It's somewhere I really want to go but I'm in the north of England so not really possible for me 😅 thank you for your coverage 😊
@@AddyL-11 I'm in the north of England too
@JulieRushworth everything is always so far from us 🥲
Me too! Xxx
Thank you very much Derrick. You delivered this very intricate case brilliantly. I hope that Princella's murderer will be found soon.
Rulene , South Africa🇿🇦✨
I LOVE Detective Perspective!!!
The only thing that is out of place in this story is that curtains hanging cop. Also, if there was another guy with her, wouldnt that be a motive for the other dude?
Great that you're highlighting this case
Princella was a beautiful young woman and a loving sibling. I can't imagine losing a sister like Princella and I hope her family gets justice for her and finds peace for themselves.❤
Oh my...I really hope LE follows through and gets answers for Princella's family. They've waited long enough
.
Thank you for all you do
Much love to you Derrick. I'm so glad that the "forgotten cases" have someone like you. Much love
I can’t wait for your update on the positive resolution to this case, Derrick! 34 years is way too long
Unacceptable and just plain cruel negligence from the police. I hope this family get justice for Princella and closure soon.
She has a beautiful smile and a beautiful loving family. God bless her soul. I’m so sorry for any family that goes through this nightmare. . She deserved to live her life. There may never be justice in this life, but there will be in the next life. No one gets away with this evil in the end.
Thank you sir for your content and bringing this to our attention...i appreciate it.....Justice for Princella/Bird and the entire family❤️Can you do the disappearanc of Johnny Gosch whenever you can in the future.
Derrick, awesome episode. Princella deserves justice. I'm confused at the statement you made at the end, something to the effect that you're proud of her family to stick with their police department and continue to work with them. They have no other choice to work with them if they want justice for their daughter. What other options are there for them? It was just a thought I had. Thank you for continuing to speak for those who can't. ❤😊
Have never heard of this case!
I'm so sorry for your loss. Lady Bird sounds like a beautiful young lady who deserved to live her life with her family and friends. ❤
Thanks Derrick for another great episode. I am so bummed that I missed your first live. Hopefully the attention you have brought to this case will help the family get the answers they deserve.
Thank you for all your hard work Derrick🩵
What lovely memories the family shared. So sorry for your loss.
Perfect timing. Good evening all, we meet again. Good evening Derrick.
6 mins! Can't wait to hear this case! Thank you Derrick ❤
Thank you Derrick . She has such a beautiful name and nickname . I hope her family finds justice . 🩷✨
Thank you Derrick!!!
I always learn so much from you when I watch your videos. I completely agree with you on this case,this had to be someone who knew her and if she was indeed dating two different men at the same time it wouldn't surprise me at all if it was possibly one of them. I hope one day her family gets the answers that they so desperately seek and that someone is brought to justice in this case.
What an amazing family. I hate that this had to happen to such a sweet, wonderful person who had such love for her siblings. This world truly lost a beautiful soul.
Yea, that was my first question too! Does he (the guy walking with her) match the description of the officer? You’ve taught us well!!
As usual, this is a heartbreaking story. RIP Princella💜🤍💜
Another great episode Derrick! And i hope they find justice for Princella.
Please ha e a fundraiser for this case to test that DNA. I want to know if it was that bad cop! Obviously shady stuff!
So frustrating!! Sooo sad they did not take this case serious. I can't imagine the pain this family feels
Love your channel! Appreciate the research you do and I truly believe your exposure to these cases helps them to get solved.
Goosebumps at your ending words. Couldn’t have said it better 🫶🏼
I feel so sorry for the family. She sounds like she was a beautiful person. I pray that the family gets some answers.
Hey Derrick - it’s Stephanie.. Stephanie’s doppelgänger from Crime Con (the girl with the same name and glasses - also BB fan from the start - also… 84’ baby!
This poor womanHope the Family Gets justice one Day
I’m confused … I saw this on my suggested and said wait a min he has his own channel!!? Subbed immediately
The luggage story is such a fun memory for her sister 🥰 Princella sounds like my kind of person, absolutely heartbreaking she was taken from this world so horrifically 🥺
Heartbreaking story.
Heartbreaking case 💔
❤Derrick ❤
RIP Princella🕊
Dang, I was also 22 in 1990. This is so sad :(
It's funny how sharing someone with a victim really brings it home, but it does. Same age, hometown, school.
Glad you are still here.
@@brandyjean7015 absolutely. It really does.
My gosh! This poor family has had such an injustice bestowed upon their case! I feel horrible for them. I can’t wrap my head around WHY or HOW Princella’s case was so horribly mishandled and just pushed aside and forgotten about like it didn’t even matter. Man, this is really burning my ass!!! I pray their family finally has a detective working on their case that actually gives a rat’s ass this time! Just put some effort in for God’s sake! This is really going to stick with me. Derrick, please be sure to update us on Ladybird’s case.
❤ this program.
This seems like such a loving family! The story of her getting back the suitcase was great! You could tell in her families voices how much she meant to them. And her poor Mum.. when she said maybe she just didnt matter(to the police) Omg that got me. She does matter! She matters to everyone who loved her. This is just tragic 😔
Thanks for all you do
I hope and pray u give us a update soon and their is justice for the family!!!
I’d love to see you do a podcast on Patti Adkins out of Marysville, Ohio. She’s been missing for 23 years as of June 28th. Her family needs closure 😞
What an amazing family.
How horrible 🥲
Thank you for covering cases that need attention.
Please look into Russell Evans case
Princella sounds like an amazing human being to me, we need more people like her and yet she was taken away from us. My only hope is she now rests in peace and is close to God ❤.
I hope they finally get answers soon
Thanks ffor shining a light on ghese unsolved cases and proving that no matter how old these cases can be at times, they are just as importtant and deserrve jjustice and to be solv red d as if it occured today.
Princella's family sounds amazing. I hope they get answers soon.
So young, so beautiful, am so so sorry for her family
This case is heartbreaking! It seems so solvable. Or at least it could have been! My god.
Such a beautiful girl and sounds like a beautiful soul. What a loss
sounds like a lawsuit is necessary along with a change of law.. if a case is cold for 5 years and the family want to hire their own private team the authorities should have to hand everything over.
I hate the culture of police departments. They need to start holding their fellow co workers accountable and not be in fear of retaliation. See something, say something. Thank you Derrick for not being afraid of saying the part about a potential cover up especially since you are a former law enforcement officer.
Princella deserves justice, and the family deserves answers.
What an amazing family in all ways! I live in Augusta, not far from ATL- going to go follow their FB page.
