Janet Agosto was a 20-year-old woman from New York City who disappeared before Thanksgiving 1981 and was later found dead on February 11, 1982, inside an abandoned building at 1832 Bryant Avenue in the Bronx. Her body showed ligature strangulation and was frozen and partly skeletonized when discovered. The building was described as a neglected, avoided location in the borough.

The case later became linked in investigators accounts to Jesus Aguilera, a man already convicted for other 1981 murders. Reports say Aguilera at one point told Detective Malcolm Reiman he had been in the Bryant Avenue building tied to Janet, then later denied it.

The case remains notable for the overlap between investigators’ suspicions and the absence of a formal conviction in Janet’s killing. Does anyone have information about Janet’s last known movements or the Bryant Avenue building in late 1981?
