Lucy Johnson was 31 and three months pregnant when she was found dead in her Cramerton, North Carolina, home on July 16, 2008. Her body was discovered in an upstairs bedroom with two gunshot wounds to the back of her head and her underwear pulled down to her knees. The house was engulfed in flames when responders arrived; the fire was later ruled arson. Her two other children were not at home during the incident.

Michael Mead, Johnson’s fiancé, was arrested January 9, 2009, and charged with first-degree murder, arson and burglary; prosecutors also obtained a grand jury indictment for rape.

Mead later sued police, alleging wrongful targeting and mishandling of the investigation and pointing to another ex-boyfriend as a possible suspect; no other person was ever charged. In 2015 a convicted killer, Jerry Douglas Case, confessed to killing Johnson and another woman, but the Gaston County District Attorney dismissed that confession for lack of supporting evidence. The investigation remains unresolved. Does anyone have information about Lucy, her movements that week in July 2008, or contacts who might shed light on what happened?
