While there are two people of interest in the case, no arrests have been made. Now, the family has turned to the Internet and the community to do some detective work of their own.
Harris was 28 years old when a fisherman found her body in the Red River. Her father, Jerry Harris, described her as a vivacious redhead with a zeal for life.
"[She was] a wonderful, loving human being that cared deeply about other people and loved life," he said.
Fannin County Sheriff Kenneth Moore said there are still at least two persons of interest in the murder case.
"I don't think justice can be done in this case because it won't bring my daughter back," Harris said.
However, he said he does want to make sure whoever killed his daughter won't murder someone else.
But due to a lack of evidence, Moore said his investigators are no closer to solving the case than when it happened in May of 2002. Investigators don't know where her body entered the river, so there's no crime scene. Even the autopsy did not pinpoint a clear answer about how she died.
"I can't pull a rabbit out of my hat and say, 'Okay, this is the convincing piece of evidence we need right here to get this person indicted,'" Moore said.
Now, Harris' family has started a website, "Justice4jennifer.org".
"We still have a killer walking the streets for the last seven years," said Jeff Schneider, the victim's uncle.
The family is using the site in hopes of generating new information on the case that has left them and law officers frustrated.
"In my opinion, they didn't do a very good job in a case that may have been easily solvable," Schneider said. "But, it wasn't solved because they didn't really acquire the help or they didn't have the expertise to do it right."
Sheriff Moore said the case is still open and will stay that way until someone is behind bars.
