this heinous murderer needs to be found and put in jail for the rest of there life! Not often people get murdered in lower income paldale crime ridden area and get a way with nor have a lead in the first 48. This family needs closure and Stephen Harris was more than a father. He was a great friend cousin brother spousal partner, not only was he all of that he landed a helping hand whenever he could. Family not recieving justice for a son/father being murdered in cold blood isn't right. So please if anyone knows anything speak up. You would want the same if you were in the position his kids and mother are still in. Let's find this murderer and give this family closure. Its been to long for no lead can not let this be a cold case! Please lets do the right thing!
