DESCRIPTION:
(from Oxygen's web site, August 2024) Five days before Christmas in 1984, Jonelle Matthews went missing from her own living room in the small town of Greeley, Colorado. Jonelle’s absence left her family devastated and the community of Greeley reeling, desperate to bring Jonelle home. In an attempt to find her and raise the public’s awareness, news of Jonelle's disappearance was elevated all the way up to President Ronald Reagan and eventually her face appeared on milk cartons. The hope was that the novel approach of millions of Americans seeing her face every day would lead to Jonelle being found. Sadly, the publicity did not bring her home. Nearly 34 years after her disappearance, her remains were finally found about 20 miles away from her home. The case was no longer cold, and soon after, the murderer was in sight. In a bizarre twist, the main suspect was a master manipulator, pastor, true-crime fanatic and one-time Idaho gubernatorial candidate who had been privately obsessed with Jonelle’s case for three decades. His ex-wife became the key witness in the case against him, bravely coming forward to share her experience of living with a deluded fantasist and sadistic murderer, and exposing the crucial evidence that led to his capture and prosecution. Jonelle's mother, father, sister and friends, the detectives working the case and Angela Husk, the woman whose courage brought a murderer to justice, exclusively share their experiences in this Oxygen special. |
