The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is asking for the public’s help in solving a 16-year-old Dawson County cold case.  

Cheryl Williams Frady, 44, was found deceased in the basement bedroom of her parents’ home on Brookwood Drive between 4-4:30 p.m. on April 5, 2008, near Lake Lanier in Dawson County, the GBI stated in a Facebook post Friday.  

After Frady’s body was taken to the GBI’s crime lab, state medical examiners determined she died from a single gunshot wound to her head, according to a 2008 Dawson County News (DCN) article.  

Frady’s death was later deemed a homicide. She lived with her mother and stepfather, who last heard from her around 1:30 a.m. on April 5, the GBI’s post stated.  

For an April 2009 article, Frady’s stepsister, Melanie Young, told DCN that Williams had recently gone through a divorce and had been online dating.  

Anybody with information about the killing of Cheryl Williams Frady is asked to call the GBI’s tip line at 800-597-8477.
