Crime evidence expert says Johnson case has solution

It is necessary that I repeat an old story in order to submit my opinion on Mr. Edenfield's article and Donna's terrible murder.

Once upon a time a mighty rain began falling. One of God's best Christian followers noticed the water had reached the level of his front porch, his steps already underwater. A small rescue boat drifted by and asked the man to get on board for his safety.

The man replied, "No thanks, my life is in God's hands. He will save me."

The rain continued to fall. It rained so much that the man was forced to climb atop his house to avoid drowning. Another, bigger boat came to offer the gentleman their life-saving services. He again refused, making it clear that God would be his rock in the storm.

Eventually, the man was forced to climb the tallest tree he could find to avoid the deep flood waters. A helicopter flew overhead and told the man to grab the rope so he could be pulled to safety. He again denied the request, stating that God would save him.

When the man opened his eyes, he saw God. He asked, "God, why did you forsake me?"

God replied, "I didn't. I sent you two boats and a helicopter."

And so.....it appears that God has some help here on earth doesn't it?

My sister told me once, "this Donna story just will not die." She is right.

God's boats and helicopters never quit.
Don't rock God's boat. Help row.

"Mr. Milam would like no more than for this to go to trail but wants more concrete evidence vnot guessing games because you can only be tried once in this life."

Yeah, right!

He may want it to go on a long trail, as you said. No way will he let it go to trial. He knows himself that a death penalty would not even be considered at this point. He is just determined not to betray the packers of his "pocketbook."

Settle down Sweetcakes.......the murderer(s) and the ones who keep the terrible secrets, may make it all the way through their earthly life and never be "officially" named.

But, from what I have read.......that after life Judge has a real strict court and some sentences that last forever. No jury needed...he has all the facts.

And just think, he/they will get to see it all over again as their worthless life flashes before them.

FOREVER is a really long time, isn't it?

If Donna had been your loved one after a quarter of a century, would you want it to continue to slide or go to court? Remember this article titled "Donna Johnson's Last Hours?" It was published Sept 13, 2010....no political futures were up for grabs.

Donna Johnson's Last Hours

Imagine, if you can stomach it, the final torturous hours of Donna Ogletree Johnson.

Those hours of brutality were much longer than we were all originally led to believe.

Donna was dead as early as 5 a.m. on the day her body was found and she was brutalized for many hours prior to the time her killer or killers delivered three blows to her head with a roofing hatchet.

“When they finally killed her, they put her out of her misery,” former Lamar County sheriff Joe Buice says.

At some point, Donna was assaulted. She fought hard for her freedom, clawing at her attackers, but was overpowered and hogtied by an expert.

She was gagged with her bra and panties and beaten unmercifully.

She was experiencing her menstrual period and thus unworthy of rape. So, her sadistic captors sexually violated her repeatedly with a metal rod or similar object. No doubt Donna knew she was done for if she could not break free.

Against all odds, she clung to life, enduring mindless torture that would have killed most.

No doubt she thought of her husband, Jimmy Johnson, her parents, Ed and Beulah, and her sister, Becky.

She hoped against hope that someone would save her. Her someone never came.

Still, she refused to die, even when run over with a vehicle.

When the blows from the hatchet finally caved in her skull and snuffed out her life, Donna left behind memories and mysteries.

Who killed her?

Donna took the answers with her.

Now only her killers know who they are.

Certainly, they enjoyed – took great pleasure from – their work. This was not the result of a domestic disturbance. This was a thrill killing.

I wonder if they suffer pangs of remorse.

I wonder if they had killed before.

I wonder if they have killed since.

I wonder if they are capable of killing now.

I wonder if they are feeling the heat.

I wonder if those charged with investigating her death are working as hard as they could be on the case.

As opined in this space before, this case has not been solved because someone in a position of power does not want it solved.

If we find that person, we find the killers.

What do you know that you have not yet revealed?

Any tiny fragment of information you possess may hold the key to the mystery. Make the call!
