Community organizers in Jeff Davis County are working to solve a 31-year-old cold case and bring the victim's alleged murderer to justice.

| This summer, a new podcast about Rhonda’s case is set to be released by Sean Kipe. The hope for the new podcast “Fox Hunter,” is for someone to come forward with information that leads to the case being solved. |
Coleman was a lifelong Hazlehurst resident, a student at Jeff Davis High School, and lived with her mother and father at the time of her death. According to the GBI, an autopsy was completed on Rhonda and no cause of death was determined.
Some people in Jeff Davis County say they not only believe Rhonda was murdered, but they know who her killer is.
In a statement published this week on a Facebook page dedicated to Coleman, representatives stated, "Her killer has never been charged with a crime. He lives, works, and has connections to the following counties: Jeff Davis, Appling, and Wayne Counties with extended family in the Bacon County Area. We haven't had any peace for 25 years, it's time that he feels the same way!"
A flyer that is currently being distributed in Jeff Davis County and surrounding areas by the group behind the push to solve Rhonda's case is published below.

The murder of 18-year-old Rhonda Sue Coleman in Hazlehurst has remained unsolved for over 30 years despite leads, eyewitness accounts and evidence. There are several main suspects who police and investigators believe could have acted alone or together in the murder - all of which still live in the general area. Police feel strongly that there are people still in the area who know exactly what happened, but are not talking for various reasons, be it fear of retaliation or perhaps guilt for holding this information for so long without coming forward.
Rhonda Sue Coleman was two weeks away from graduating high school in Hazlehurst, Georgia on May 17, 1990.

She never returned home that night. Rhonda's burned body was discovered several days later in a remote area of a neighboring county.
