Gone Cold - Texas True Crime23 Mai 2022

The Daylight Slaying of Janet Eva Gregston

At a little after 4 PM on August 21st, 1984, on the side of the road at East Loop 338 just outside Odessa, Texas city limits, a man thought he’d witnessed a hit and run involving a pedestrian and a gold Buick. But when Ector County Sheriff’s Deputy David Montgomery discovered it wasn’t a hit and run at all, rather, a woman had been stabbed and slashed repeatedly. The woman was Janet Eva Gregston, who was 7 months pregnant. When a man claiming to have ESP entered the Sheriff’s Office to tell them about his visions, he quickly became suspect number one – or the only suspect, really – and he was subsequently arrested and indicted. Doubt about his guilt, however, wasn’t only felt be his defense attorney – and the entire debacle was eerily reminiscent of another failed attempt at a murder conviction a couple years before.

If you have any information about the murder of Janet Eva Gregston, please contact Odessa Crime Stoppers at (432)333-8477.
