Loudoun County, VA: The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office Cold Case Unit announced today the continuing investigation of the murder of Upperville, Virginia resident Ursula Haberland.

Detectives are seeking information from anyone who came into contact with Haberland in the weeks prior to her death in 2001. Over the next few weeks Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office Detectives will be conducting door-to-door interviews with neighbors and traffic information checkpoints near Haberland’s home in the 21700 block of Greengarden Road.
