Springfield mother stabbed before Thanksgiving

Just days before her family was to celebrate Thanksgiving in Connecticut, Robin Warr Lawrence fell victim to a brutal stabbing in her Fairfax County home. Fifteen years later, her slaying remains unsolved.

When Lawrence’s body was discovered on Sunday, Nov. 20, 1994, investigators believe she had been at the West Springfield residence for at least three days. She was stabbed multiple times in the chest. The whole time, her 2-year-old daughter Nicole was in the home with the body. Police found the child unhurt but dehydrated.
