"We don't know for sure if she was out there walking or if she may have been in a motor vehicle of some kind there was tire tracks seen out there. It was obvious Gloria was able to run or walk away for a little bit of time after she was injured due to the trail that she left before she actually collapsed and died." said Lt. Gary Trupe with Potter-Randall Special Crimes
It is believed Covington was a prostitute and her murder may have been connected to her occupation. In the beginning of the 14 year old investigation, detectives did have people of interest for Covington's murder. However, police have never been able to make an arrest.
