Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office initially responded to the area on May 31, 2014, because of a reported shooting. Once on scene, deputies found the 55-year-old Eberhardt, which the medical examiner’s office concluded was death by homicide.
Five days before her death, Eberhardt’s car was set on fire on the same street she was found on. The investigation later found the fire was arson.
Despite efforts by JSO’s homicide and crime scene detectives, this case has remained unsolved for years. All leads were followed from the time of the homicide well into 2019. Every available resource was used but the trail eventually went cold.
