Hi, from a fellow Jersey girl not far away. I am a horse girl and have an even-more horse girl daughter, so this hits close to home. I recently had a little bit of hope when I saw the article about the cold case murder of Donna Macho in 1984 being solved and the killer worked at a farm (the article didn’t say if it was a horse farm or crop farm). The crimes were separated by 11 years and 27 miles, but it caught my attention. Unfortunately, after reading the article, I don’t think there is a connection.For whatever bittersweet gifts there are regarding this case, what a gift to be poignantly remembered. Raising a glass and a prayer to Jan and her baby tonight, 50 years later, as a Jersey girl not too far away. Xo
So many cases could probably be solved if the police had not been so lazy in the past.So, that's it? The boyfriend denied being there, but Jan's brother and possibly his friend saw this guy pick her up, yet the police just shrugged and said Okay, we believe you, be on your merry way?
Wow...
Agreed. It's the same old song and dance for a lot of these cases. I don't think laziness is the only factor here, though. I think it's the good ol boys club abiding by the bro code, because most of these cases are men getting away with it. Lack of physical evidence would be up there as well, but it doesn't sound like investigators looked for any. Like, in Jan's case, though the then bf denied picking her up, did they search his vehicle, anyway? Did they verify his alibi? Did they search his house/property (I get they'd need a search warrant for that, but did they even try?). Maybe they did, but there's so much info missing, from the outside, it looks like they took his word for it and let it drop.So many cases could probably be solved if the police had not been so lazy in the past.
And why would they take the boyfriend’s word, but not her brother and his friend’s word for it?Agreed. It's the same old song and dance for a lot of these cases.

When I watched the Murdaugh Netflix documentary, I said, “That’s every county in the US to one degree or another.” We need a major anti-corruption campaign to clean up several generations’ worth of messes.Agreed.
