ABC News is working with Vidocq Society forensic psychologist Richard Walter and our sister publication The Herald-Gazette regarding a possible episode on the 1984 murder of Donna Johnson in Lamar County. Johnson lived in Pike when she was killed.

Walter spent considerable time here in 2005 working on the case and developed a suspect. He said he remains frustrated his findings were never presented to a grand jury.

I've heard a lot of things about this murder over the years. None of it proven, however. I heard that the officials who were in charge of this case covered up a lot of things.

She was such a beautiful lady. Please keep us posted.

brutal death + reward = spouse
rewards are easy to offer when you no you will never pay it

I for one remember the fear and panic that rocked our community when this murder happened.
Someone knows what happened. If you really do know, then you are as guilty as the murderer for not speaking up for all of these years.

i agree. someone knows and they are as guilty as the murderer. if it were their daughter, or mother they would want justice. i hope and feel this murder will be solved if it is kept alive and someone will get a touch of the heart and tell.

This shouldn't be too tough. Cold case files are solved on TV every week in 1 hour. My whole family gets together to help solve these types of crimes every Saturday night.

Hi Neighbor.

If the DA is not presenting this case before a grand jury, then he is exactly who is to be blamed. The current DA is the current DA. What does he have to lose? If it were your family member, would you be more concerned? Probably not, family does not matter much anymore. Murder will be a misdemeanor after a few more elections. Since Miss Beulah is with Donna now, maybe something positive will happen. I hope I live to see the guilty party (parties) brought to tough justice. I hope anyone who has contributed to this delay is processed through the criminal system just as if they had been part of the crime. BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN. If you truly know facts and have not told them, shame on you.
