The Murder of Kate Puzey in 2009
Kate Puzey was a young woman full of compassion and a desire to make a difference in the world. She joined the Peace Corps and traveled to Benin to teach English to local students. But Kate’s life was tragically cut short when she became concerned about inappropriate relationships a male colleague was having with her students. After reporting it to the Peace Corps, they revealed her identity to the man in question…
Shortly after, Kate was found murdered, and the investigation that followed was riddled with inconsistencies… And although the man and his supposed accomplices were initially held in prison, they were later released without ever being brought to trial. Her family and friends continue to fight for justice and accountability, but the memory of this young woman, and her dedication to making a difference in the world, will never be forgotten.
