FBI, Pascagoula Police reopen 3 cold case homicides

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) – The FBI and Pascagoula Police have announced they will be reopening three separate cold cases.

The agencies say in a statement that from 1975 to 1979, three Pascagoula-area women were killed. Janie Sanders in 1975, Debra Gunter in 1978 and Clara Turk in 1979.

The release says 16-year-old Sanders was abducted by a man while walking home from school near the corner of Louise and Lanier Streets in East Pascagoula.

Gunter was taken while working at a convenience store, and Turk was taken on a street not far from where Sanders was abducted.

Last week, authorities began distributing flyers seeking information about a blue, 1970s model Chevrolet El-Camino that was seen in the area during the time of one of the killings.

Anyone with information is urged to call Pascagoula Police.
