Jeanette Walton, 37, was shot and killed on May 9, 1972, in her apartment at 715 West 3rd Street in Chester, Pennsylvania. Her 17-year-old daughter, Diane, returned home about 8:50 p.m. after visiting a relative and found Walton lying in a pool of blood; police were not the first on scene.

Investigators quickly focused on 34-year-old Russell Matthews, a Chester resident from the 600 block of West 3rd Street. He was taken into custody a short time later at his father’s home on Franklin Street by Patrolman Gradie Berrien and charged with homicide.

Are there anyone who knew Jeanette or Diane, or who lived on West 3rd Street in 1972, who can add details about that night or about the people involved?
