Summary

We're back this week with a special report regarding the life of Elijah James Wood, who was shot in neighboring Oconee County, Georgia on March 19. While police continue their investigation and search for the killer who is still at-large, host Cameron Jay takes a moment to bring the focus back to Elijah and his life, by speaking with some of his family members. We have all heard so much about what happened that night. We've heard a lot of buzz and speculation about who might be involved. But Classic City Crime wants to make sure that Elijah's life and his impact on others is not minimized in all of that. If you or someone you knows has any information that could lead to the arrest of the person(s) responsible for Elijah's death, please contact Detective Zach Eaton at [email protected].

0:00.0	Welcome, welcome, welcome back to Classic City Crime for a very special update.
0:05.0	I'm Cameron Jay, and I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe during these challenging times.
0:11.0	I must say it feels good to be back on the mic and to be here with all of you.
0:15.0	There's a lot happening here at Classic City Crime, despite our pause for the summer and to get caught up on research, school,
0:21.9	and yes, life. You all remember the story of Tara Louise Baker from season one. Well, when I ended
0:27.5	that season, I promised all of you, and I promised the Baker family that our work would continue,
0:34.2	and it has. We've recently launched the Terra's team initiative, which is another
0:38.7	partnership with the Baker family to really bring about change for the families of unsolved homicide
0:44.4	victims here not only in Athens, but across the state of Georgia. I'd be honored to have your
0:49.9	help in reaching out to our local and state leaders to start a conversation about what can be
0:55.7	done to ensure that what happened in Tara's case and to her family never happens again.
1:02.5	I think that's something we all can aspire to, right? You can learn how to get involved by visiting

1:18.8	world's oldest profession, yes, you know what I'm talking about right here in Athens. While most
1:24.4	states had laws against establishments like Effie's, we see a uniqueness here in the Classic City.
1:29.9	Effie and her house, along with those on either side, were able to operate for decades after these laws passed.
1:37.6	How?
1:38.4	Well, you're going to have to stay tuned for this upcoming history lesson right here on Classic City Crime this month. But for now,
1:45.6	I want to turn again to the case of Elijah James Wood, who was shot and murdered at the racetrack
1:51.6	on Highway 441 in Watkinsville, Georgia on March 19th. This is a Classic City Crime special
1:58.4	report. I'm Cameron Jay.
