I am your host Bill Huffman and this week we will be exploring the mysterious murder of Janette Roberson in Reed City, Michigan. I have noticed a trend in the cases I choose because once start looking into one case from a date, I inevitability end up looking at another case. This pattern can be seen with all of the Massachusetts cases I’ve covered and the most recent cases in Texas. Like all true crime enthusiasts I end up down some interesting rabbit holes and come out with more questions than when I went in. For example, the case we are covering this week happened in broad daylight. In the middle of a workday at the victims place of employment. How does this happen?If you have any information in Janette Roberson’s case please contact the Michigan State Police at (989) 773-5951 or Reed City Police Chief Chuck Davis at (231) 832-3743.Tips can also be submitted to the Crime Stoppers tip line at 1-800-SPEAKUP.For the second year in a row, I will be representing Who Killed…?, Who Killed Amy Mihaljevic?, and My Passion Case on Podcast row at CrimeCon 2020 in Orlando.
