Hey LL, I hope all is well and you all get to bed in time for church, made this film hope you enjoy to gently ease you to sleep.
When people speak about Janette Roberson, two things come to mind. she was hot, easily seen on the outside and easily apparent on the inside if you had met this skinny blonde 27 year old who had a great sence of humour, loved animals, was taking guitar lessons and generally like most girls from Georgia, a lady who like to be treated like one.
Janette, her husband Alvin and their two children had moved to the small town of Reed City, Michigan about eight months prior her death. She had a job working in the pet department in the basement of a local store called Gambles, right off the main road in town. Alvin and Janette had recently separated because she found out he had been having an affair with their 16 year old babysitter. But problems had stated before that because Janette had recently decided that she wanted to become a Jehovah witness and the little wild impetuous hot blond he had met seem to have that wild side stripped away with the introduction of religion but maybe it was those wild nights in the back of Alvin's Camero that brought the guilt that brought the change. But is that the case, rumours went around town that she was having an affair with a 16 year old student at the Highschool next to her apartment, what is real and what is rumour?
It was in that basement where another employee found Janette's bruised and battered body on the afternoon of January 19, 1983. Police believe she had to have been killed sometime between 1 and 4 p.m. that afternoon.
Although there had been other employees and customers walking around upstairs, no one reportedly heard anything.
Janette, severely beaten with several different blunt objects, had also been sexually assaulted the details so brutal they have never been released. It's a crime that now, more than 35 years later, remains unsolved. Police have recently announced they have reopened this cold case and rumours have it that an arrest may be imminent.
