Twenty-six years ago this past Friday, Donna Johnson died a violent death.
Her murder remains unsolved and, for two generations, those in Pike and Lamar counties have remained largely in the dark as to how she died.

Donna Johnson with her mother Beulah Ogletree who died earlier this year without ever learning the identities of those who killed her daughter. Johnson lived on Vega Road in Pike County at the time she was brutally murdered.
Helen Ann Morgan had a child and a recent divorce. She had told her mother she thought she was being followed during the divorce.
Women are murdered or missing all the time in Georgia. They have got better at it over time I think. Now when women get killed it looks like a accident or suicide. I think in some case's the law covers it up. After all it's just a woman.
Did you know:
Intimate partner violence made up 20% of all nonfatal violent crime experienced by women in 2001.
33% of female murder victims were killed by their intimate partner.
Access to firearms yields a more than five-fold increase in risk of intimate partner homicide when considering other factors of abuse, according to a recent study, suggesting that abusers who possess guns tend to inflict the most severe abuse on their partners.
Of females killed with a firearm, almost two-thirds were killed by their intimate partners. The number of females shot and killed by their husband or intimate partner was more than three times higher than the total number murdered by male strangers using all weapons combined in single victim/single offender incidents in 2002.
50% of offenders in state prison for spousal abuse had killed their victims. Wives were more likely than husbands to be killed by their spouses: wives were about half of all spouses in the population in 2002, but 81% of all persons killed by their spouse
It doesn't matter how violent the man is, or even if he's killed people before. They take up for the man. The more proof you have the madder they get.
I can almost bet Catoosa County wishes Tonya Craft's Ex had just killed her instead of helping him try to destroy her life and put her in prison. Now she's suing all of them for 25 million.
It go's to show lies can't stand.
