Justin Blane Sanders was born on January 8th, 1983, in Daphne, Baldwin County, Alabama to Cindy Roberts and a car salesman named Max Sanders. Justin was a graduate of Daphne High School.
On October 10th, 2016, Justin was 33 years old and attending Remington College in Mobile. He also had a common law wife named Joy Gaddy whom he had a son with named Collin. Joy and Justin were going to finally have a wedding and make their union official, but sadly, that day never came.
It was a Monday morning when a city employee found Justin's body near the dugout area in the baseball field at Buamhauer Park located at 1909 Duval Street in Daphne, Alabama. He had been stabbed to death. It was about 7:05am when officers responded. A red SUV was towed away from the scene. Detectives gathered evidence for hours and even brought in a dog to assist in their search.
In the area it had been the second homicide in just a 24-hour time span and was among the four homicides that happened in just four days. What was alarming to officers was that the park was pretty active, especially on the weekend, they had baseball and football games there. Allegedly, there use to be a lot of drug activity there too, but at the time it didn't see a lot of crime.
Joy said she didn't know why Justin was in the park that day. She said that he had a past with substance abuse but had finally got his life back on track.
After his murder, Joy tracked down leads and did everything she could to bring Justin’s killer to justice. She even put up her life savings as part of the reward money.
Despite the efforts by law enforcement as well as Joy, Justin's murder remains unsolved.
Joy said, "Now I have to raise this little boy with no dad and I’m alone."
