Grainy footage shows her walking with a mysterious man near I-10 and Baseline Road — only he returns. A mid-2000s Dodge Ram truck remains a key missing piece. Hale’s family, devastated but resolute, fiercely reject any notion that her condition justified her death, emphasizing HIV was no longer a death sentence. They vow to keep pushing for justice, fueled by their love for her as a mother of five. Lead detective Kevin Ham remains hopeful, and a $2,000 reward is offered for tips — call 480-WITNESS.
