RESOLVED Pt 1: A teen's rape solves a 37-year-old murder

Michelle Puett was 17 when a man pulled her into the woods of a park and raped her repeatedly over a couple of hours. And afterward, she had to brave the painful and terrifying hospital examination. What she could never imagine is that not only would authorities learn who attacked her 37 years ago, but her rape kit would solve a murder.This is the first of a three-day series, done in collaboration with the Akron Beacon Journal. Ohio Mysteries and the Beacon teamed up in 2021 to begin UNRESOLVED, a series of episodes about cold cases in the Akron Area. The murder of Janice Christensen, now solved through its connection to the Puett attack, was the first crime covered in that series.The original UNRESOLVED Ep 1: Janice Christensenwww.ohiomysteries.comwww.beaconjournal.comfeedback@ohiomysteries.com Learn more about your ad choices.
