Obviously, that didn't happen.

No one ended up with the reward money, by the way.

This arrest had been in the making for over 50 years.

Before, Janet's case was East Hartford PD's oldest unsolved murder.

And now, Detective Johnston could bring some semblance of closure to her family.

This was a moment that her mother had hoped to be alive to see, and she was so close.

But unfortunately, she passed away in 2023.

Before the press could get a hold of it, Detective Johnston reached out to Janet's siblings.

But here's the thing about justice.

Sometimes it can be elusive.

A little over a week after his arrest for Janet's murder, George passed away.

With George now deceased, the East Hartford police have closed the book on Janet's case.

But there are still questions that remain, specifically around George, a man with such a violent past spread across decades.

It makes Detective Johnston wonder, could he be involved in other unsolved or even unknown cases?

If Janet were alive today, she would have been 73 years old.

And I think that emphasizes how young she truly was when George decided to take her life.

She deserved better.

And if there are other victims of George still out there, they deserve better too.

So if you're listening or watching this and you know something, please speak up.

Let's not let another case go unsolved for as long as Janet's did.
