Rita Welch was a very loving person.

She loved people.

Because of her background, she came out of here,

some drug issues in her life.

She was just a zoo brand.

She was someone you were proud to have for a few years.

I'm proud to have your friend.

Mr. Virgil is a certain actual innocence of this crime.

If indeed he has been serving 23 years of his life for a murder that he did not commit,

my implication then someone else did.

I'm Amber Hunt and this is accused, the unsolved murder of Rita Welch.

Rita Welch was a mother to four children, a devout Christian, an addict on the rebound and,

as one former coworker put it, a bleeding heart.

She was one of those people who saw others misdeeds as proof of their suffering and she wanted to help.

Rita's personal life seems to have been centered around the church.

She really had a passion for individuals that were either drug addicted or alcohol addicted.

Her objective was really to introduce them to the Savior that she was now serving.

So she was really passionate about that and passionate about teaching them what the Bible indicated that their life status should be.

Nester Stroud, her West Indies born pastor, said Rita's death sent shockwaves through his congregation and forever changed the rules of prison ministry in the region.

Rita, that's a Rita but without the A, was born in 1933 to parents Teresa and Sam Welch in Ohio.

She was one of four girls raised in Kishokton, a quaint town situated just about smack dab between Columbus, Ohio and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
