He Wants To See Justice For His Sister | Forensic Files

I've got stage 4 colon cancer. I'm doing all right right now, but I my doctor has
told me and she was very blunt about it. She said, "You know that this is going to kill you." And I said, "Yeah, I know
that. I understand that." So that's why I agreed to do this interview because I may not be around before this comes to a
conclusion, you know, but I'd like to see it start. I'd like to see him uh get busy and do their job and and make uh
give Peggy a resolution. You know, maybe me, maybe I'll still be around. I don't know. But
I'll try try to be around. I'm not afraid. Uh I I'm not afraid of anything anymore. I can't be. I have to be strong
and and um and I want if we can do something for Peg and her memory, then let's get it done now. All right. The
man you just heard speaking was Tom Hedrickk. And his sister, Peggy Hedrickk, was murdered in Fort Collins,
Colorado back in 1987. And the thing is, there is still plenty that can be done to solve this
case. The problem is the people who are in charge right now who have the case aren't doing what needs to be done to
solve it. But our crime junkies know what helps with that, right? A little bit of pressure and a lot of noise. And
so the reason we went on tour, the reason we're bringing this story again is we want to tell people why they
should be making noise, why they should be straight up mad. Not just on behalf of Tom and Peggy, but so many people in
our story.
