Cold Case FilesJane and Cathryn JOHNSON
Jane Johnson
Cathryn Johnson
Location: Turner Valley, Alberta
Year: 1996
Status: unsolved
Details : Jane JOHNSON and her daughter Cathryn were murdered in their home on the evening of September 3rd, 1996. The culprit(s) set fire to the residence in an effort to conceal the crime.
It is believed that this was not a chance or random act perpetrated by someone committing a break-in or an assault as evidence gathered does not support this. Further, it is believed the killer(s) knew the victims and were aware of their day-to-day patterns.
Jane and her daughter infrequently stayed at the house as Jane was involved in a relationship and both mother and daughter spent a good deal of time with this person at his residence.
On the night of the murder it is alleged Jane and her daughter returned to the residence so Cathryn could start school the next day from her own home.
Sometime during the night or early morning, the suspect(s) entered the residence, committed the murders and set fire to the house. The fire smouldered for some time before its discovery by neighbours.
Several suspects were identified but there is insufficient evidence to conclusively implicate or eliminate them from suspicion.
A reward of $50,000.00 is being offered for information leading to the arrest of person(s) responsible.
Contact: If you have any information about this case, please contact "K" (AB) Division Major Crimes Calgary at 403-699-2650 or Crime Stoppers 1-800-222-8477.
