So who knows how many people touched this stuff back then.

Plus, he could have worn gloves.

That's actually one of Detective Johnston's personal theories.

With his confession now, Detective Johnston had the ammo to go after him.

But the first attempt didn't go so well.

George just kind of danced around it all, suggesting things but not really admitting to anything.

And then finally, he asked for a lawyer.

But Detective Johnston wasn't about to give up.

At the urging of the state attorney's office, they went back at him.

And this time, Detective Johnston changed tactics.

Clearly, George wasn't fond of women.

So she sent in two men.

Despite George's claim that his motive that night was robbery, Detective Johnston believes that this was ultimately a sexually motivated crime.

She believes that George came into that house, attempted to get in, which would have been when Janet first heard the noise, and then maybe he saw her boyfriend Jay with her or spotted Jay's car and then he left and returned later after Jay was gone.

The truth is, that part didn't matter much anymore.

What mattered is that Detective Johnston now had enough for an arrest warrant.

In September of 2025, Detective Johnston headed to the McDougal Walker Correctional Institution to formally arrest then 77-year-old George.

Now, he was already in prison, so all they had to do was process him, you know, prints, mugshot, etc.,

You heard that correctly.

George was hoping to receive the reward money for a murder that he committed.
