Part four in a serialization of interviews published on the 26th anniversary of the brutal murder of Donna Johnson:

By Kay S. Pedrotti

Some of Becky Peterman’s scars from July 16, 1984 go too deep to see; but the pain is etched in her face.

Becky’s life changed irrevocably that day when her sister Donna Johnson was found brutally murdered. The recent death of their mother left Becky the torchbearer in the fight to find Donna’s killer.

I also wanted to add:

"So do not be afraid of them. There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs." Jesus in Matthew 10:26-27

I truly believe that even after 26 years this will be the magic year. Thanks to Walter Geiger and Joe Buice. Karma's snowball may be rolling down the hill now. I hope it smacks right into "what would have been the rest of the life" of the person/people that took Donna from her loved ones.

Who does she think killed her? I'm going to call the officers to give my information since no one will post it here on this site or Barnesville's site.

I know this family personally and I don't know if I could have handled this as well as Becky has. She has had to remain strong for her parents sake at the time. I hope and pray that one day the killer will be caught and justice will be served, it is said that her parents had to go to their grave not knowing and havnig a peice of mind about their daughter. No one deserves to walk around free after doing someone this way. It is sick and disgusting.
Donna may you rest in peace and Becky don't give up, keep fighting. We Love You!

Kay,

I thought you said you hated Walter and that you'd never write for the old so-and-so again.

Why the change of heart?

Tell old Walter what you said about him.

What does this comment mean? Kay who? Was she a writer for the paper? I think I may have taken a nap like Rip Van Winkle....Will you be so kind as to explain your comment Town Crier?
