We all failed Miss Beulah

Fittingly, she was buried amid weeds, wildflowers and kinfolk in the ramshackle graveyard at Beulah Baptist Church in Pike County.

They lowered her simple casket into the ground next to that of her husband, Ed, who grieved himself to death some years back.

i am so glad this murder is being kept alive. it is like a thorn in a murders mind i would think. i feel this will be solved if kept alive oneday. someone knows something and they could have change of heart and come forth annonomously. who ever done this could do it again and do it to their daughter or granddaughter. it was a unhuman act and getting away with it opens the door to kill others. who knows about it and stays quiet is as quilty as ones that murdered donna.

Why is everyone so quick to jump on the bandwagon about people who know something to step forward , Most of them have !!! We can't make the D.A. bring charges, We can't make the cops arrest anyone !!! Enought already don't be mad at us get mad at the ones who are really covering it up. Even the The Vidocq Society known for their crime solving gave them a suspect and what happened !!!!!!! NOTHING. So if you don't know or haven't heard who they think did it I don't know where you've been hiding . And Rhoda I know for sure who your supicions are on one person who was probably involved even though he is dead now. So maybe you need to come forward or the rest of the valley people !!!!!!!!!
#1.1.1 I concur on 05/18/10 at 06:58 PM
I agree with above, I believe people did and have came forward over the years to no avail, It was and is the judicial system at fault here. Those resposible have been put into the laps of those in authority and nothing has happened.

Put it right here on this blog. Maybe it was put in the laps of the irresponsible. Maybe that irresponsible person is dead now. Miss Beulah is...with a broken heart. Tell it all SISTA, tell it all. Tell it all BROTHER, tell it all.
This new generation would say "the family needs closure." My generation says "someone got away with murder." My Mother's generation would say, "I killed her come and get me." My Grandmothers generation would "get a rope...make a noose...slap the horse on the butt...make a pine box and have a burial (not a ceremony telling the wonderful deeds of the deceased) and be through with it. Grandma rules!!! Who murdered Donna Johnson?

Who did The Vidocq Society suspect? I have heard nothing about that investigation? Where did you hear the news?

Walter,
I sent this article to The Thomaston Times and I notice that it is in their paper this week. If I were the Lamar county sheriff, I would have this posted in the lobby of the sheriff's office. I would NEVER let this case get cool and certainly not COLD. Because, if we, as Donna's county, neighboring counties and state allow that to happen, then we have ONCE AGAIN failed Miss Beulah and her family. Thanks again for remembering the important issues. God bless Donna's family and damn the guilty one(s) who took her life. If not on Earth, God will still be their judge. Whether it be for keeping it secret or doing the dreadful deed. You are terribly guilty in either case.
