In the years following Vicki's death, her family established the Vicki Belk Scholarship Foundation to provide educational support to local students. The foundation has awarded nearly 100 scholarships honoring Vicki's passion for education and supporting youth in her community.

We focus on cases like Vicki's because we believe it's an important step to keeping a victim's memory alive in the way that it matters. This case isn't just about seeking justice. It's about honoring a life that was taken too soon and reminding ourselves that every cold case has the potential for resolution, no matter how much time has passed.

Vicki's story challenges us to never underestimate the power of persistence and the importance of community. It's a reminder that even the smallest lead, the faintest memory, can reignite hope. And if her case teaches us anything, it's that we all have a role to play in ensuring that these stories aren't forgotten.
