National Crime Victims’ Rights Week : April 19–25 National Crime Victims’ Rights Week : April 19–25

National Crime Victims’ Rights Week is a time to honor victims and survivors, acknowledge the dedicated professionals and volunteers who support them, and continue raising awareness about the rights and services available to those impacted by crime.

As a law enforcement agency, we want our community to know you are not alone. Our role extends beyond investigations, we are committed to listening, offering support, and helping connect victims with the resources they need to begin healing.

If you or someone you know needs immediate emotional support, the Alachua County Crisis Center provides compassionate, 24-hour crisis intervention services and can be reached at 352-264-6789. If you are in imminent danger, our deputies are always available and ready to respond.

Additional assistance may be available through the Florida Office of the Attorney General, which offers financial support and referral services for eligible crime victims. This may include help with medical expenses, lost wages, mental health counseling, funeral costs, and other crime-related expenses.

𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐲 On April 18, 1994, the rema 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐲

On April 18, 1994, the remains of 24-year-old Robert Howards were discovered in a wooded area near SW Archer Road and SW 170th Street by two individuals walking in the area. After making the discovery, they returned home and contacted law enforcement.

Robert Howards had previously been reported missing on August 5, 1992. Witnesses last saw him in the vicinity of the Arredondo Farms (currently known as the Palms of Archer) neighborhood.

As we reflect on this case, we remain committed to seeking answers and pursuing justice for Robert Howards and his loved ones. We recognize the passage of time does not lessen the impact of his loss, and this case remains an active priority.

We are asking for the community’s assistance. If you have any information related to this case, or any of our cold cases, please contact Sergeant Michael Cooper at mbcooper@acso.us or 352-367-4163. Tips can also be submitted anonymously through Alachua County Crime Stoppers at 352-372-STOP.

Even the smallest detail could make a difference.
