Alex Teehee (Photo courtesy of Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers) Twelve years after a Charlotte County 20-year-old was brutally attacked and killed, Crime Stoppers is asking for the public’s help solving the cold case. July 13 marked 12 years since Alex Teehee was found clinging to life on Sibley Bay Street in Charlotte Harbor. Authorities said he was violently assaulted, ran over, and left for dead in the middle of the night. A passerby found Teehee and called 911 for help. Teehee died July 14 at the hospital. At the time of Teehee’s death, Crime Stoppers asked for the public’s help and they still need it. “Over the years, the names of several suspects have been on the radar; however, there has never been enough evidence to proceed with the prosecution of those involved in Alex’s murder,” said Trish Routte, Crime Stoppers coordinator. “But despite the time that’s passed, it’s never too late to step up and ensure that the person or persons responsible for Alex’s murder pay the consequences for their actions. Although nothing will bring him back, Alex’s family, his friends, and most particularly his two sons, deserve to see justice served.” Anyone with information on the murder of Alex Teehee is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS (8477). Tips may also be made online at www.southwestfloridacrimestoppers.com or on the P3Tips mobile app. Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $3,000 and an anonymous donor is offering an additional $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
