Name of Lori's Killer Announced - Now Bring Him to Justice

 

Update: Vindel has been located in Atlanta and arrested. He's currently being held in the LCDC without bond. 12/01/23

Police believe the man pictured above ran down Lori Lynne Avery on December 20th of last year and fled the scene. This photo of Marlin Javier Vindel-Lopez is an obvious criminal mugshot taken in a county other than Lauderdale. In other words, he's no innocent and at 48 should know his responsibility. Many who have contacted us think that the driver deliberately took Lori's life.

Lori was not in good health and had a hearing impairment. She did not deserve to die at the hands of some deranged pervert. Please read the attached FPD press release and help law enforcement find this killer. Whatever the Crimestoppers reward is, this blog will add $100.00 to it.

Florence Police Detectives are asking for the public’s help in locating Marlin Javier Vindel Lopez, a person of interest involved in a traffic homicide hit and run which occurred on December 20, 2021.
