Angela Jones was a 32-year-old African American mother of seven who was found dead on May 12, 2000, in an abandoned building in Chicago’s Roseland neighborhood on the city’s South Side. City workers located her body during cleanup efforts, and an autopsy confirmed she had been strangled to death.

Angela Jones is identified as the first known victim in a series of killings later linked to Geoffrey T. Griffin, a 30-year-old African American man called the Roseland Killer. Griffin was arrested on June 17, 2000, after a videotaped confession in which he admitted killing Jones; following the arrest, DNA evidence connected him to six other women found dead in abandoned buildings across Chicago’s South Side and nearby Harvey between May and June 2000. In November 2005, Griffin was convicted of first-degree murder in Jones’s death and sentenced to 100 years in prison.

Does anyone have memories of Angela, her family, or the Roseland neighborhood in 2000 that could add context to what happened?
