Jeremiah Johnson, 32, was found dead in the snow near the entrance to East Rock Park in New Haven on December 15, 2007. A motorist alerted officers to a body on Farnam Drive near the Hamden line; Johnson was discovered face down with gunshot wounds to the head and back. Investigators did not determine whether he had been killed at that location or moved there afterward.

After nearly five years without resolution, police announced in May 2012 that murder warrants had been obtained for two men, identified as Zackery Cody Franklin and John Torry Denby. Both were already incarcerated on unrelated charges; Franklin faced allegations tying him to multiple other homicides and large bonds, while Denby was jailed on drug-sale charges. Authorities described the motive for Johnson’s killing as an apparent robbery.

Prosecutors later dropped the manslaughter charge against Denby in April 2014 for lack of sufficient evidence; he pleaded guilty to narcotics counts and maintained his innocence regarding Johnson’s death. Does anyone have information about Jeremiah Johnson or his movements in New Haven in December 2007?
