Lori's lifeless body was found in the 1200 Block of South 11th St. in Tacoma (the Hilltop area) in the morning by a physician on his way into his office. No witnesses came forward. There was no CCTV camera footage, no useful prints, or DNA evidence. While three suspects were named in her file, there did not appear to be any follow-up. There have been no updates. - not one in 30 long years. Mrs. Johnson feels forgotten. The victim's daughters have grown up without answers too.
I accompanied Mrs. Johnson to the Tacoma P.D. several years ago. One officer met us in the noisy lobby and refused to say anything except "It's an open investigation. I can't speak with you." He was abrupt and dismissive.
Can you help? If you are a journalist - can you breathe life into this old case? If you are in law enforcement can you see why nothing has come of this homicide (not even an annual phone call to Lori's family)? Could you be a witness or know someone who is? If so, please contact me.
