Janet Movich, 38, was found murdered on April 14, 1985, in a wooded area of Daytona, Florida. Her body was nude; she had been sexually assaulted and strangled. At the time she was homeless and originally from Pennsylvania.

The case remained unsolved for more than a decade until serial killer Donald Leroy Evans, arrested in 1991 for the rape and murder of 10-year-old Beatrice Louise Routh in Mississippi, confessed to Movich’s killing. Investigators corroborated his confession using details about the crime scene that had not been publicly released. Evans was conclusively tied to Movich and two other victims.

Evans was already serving a death sentence for other crimes when he confessed, so no formal charge in Movich’s case was filed at that time. Does anyone have information about Janet’s life in Florida or who might have known her in Daytona in 1985?
