Janice Roberts, a 44-year-old African-American transgender woman, was last seen alive on June 18, 2003, in New Britain, Connecticut. Witnesses reported seeing her get into a blue van outside a Stop & Shop in Wethersfield; she was reported missing six days later, on June 24. Her disappearance remained unresolved for years as investigators uncovered multiple sets of remains at a Hartford Road site behind a shopping plaza in New Britain.

In April 2015 some of the remains recovered from that site were identified as Janice Roberts — one of seven victims whose bodies were found there between 2007 and 2015. Authorities later linked the killings to William Devin Howell. Howell reportedly told an informant he had strangled Roberts after attempting a sexual act and discovering she was transgender. In November 2017 Howell pleaded guilty to Roberts’s murder and others and received consecutive life sentences.

Did anyone who knew Janice or saw a blue van near the Wethersfield Stop & Shop in June 2003 come forward with information?
