Harless was found murdered inside her Northgate Dr. on Mar. 28, 2003. One of her family members located a single suspect inside the home. The same suspect was later seen by several other witnesses.
Police have released two sketches of the man in the hopes someone in the public may recognize him.
He was described as being between 25 and 30 years old and standing between 5â²10â³ and 6â²1â³ and 185 and 195 pounds. He had a black or dark brown mullet and may have been wearing prescription glasses prior to the murder.

COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - There are close to 150 unsolved murder cases the Columbus Police Department currently has since 1962.
“The current cases are always precedent, and then once those start piling up, you just literally have no time to work the cold cases,” said Detective Stuart Carter, cold case head investigator at the Columbus Police Department.
The police department wants to change this. That’s why a select few officers are now dedicated to solving cold case murders.
