Arthur Dale Smothers, a 22-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on June 15, 1980, on the Washington Street Bridge in downtown Johnstown, Pennsylvania. He and his 16-year-old white girlfriend, Kathleen Mikula, were both shot by Joseph Paul Franklin as they walked across the bridge.

Franklin was not immediately arrested for the Johnstown killings. That confession is reported to have connected him to the Smothers and Mikula killings and to have brought some measure of closure for the victims families.

Are there readers who remember the bridge, the date, or who have any information about Arthur Smothers or Kathleen Mikula that could add to the record?
