Barbara Dunbar, 38, was one of four people killed in a violent attack at the Greenware by Mary ceramic shop in Joliet, Illinois, on August 20, 1983. Dunbar and fellow victims Marilyn Baers, Anna Ryan and Pamela Ryan were tied up and stabbed; the group suffered a combined 43 stab wounds, and Anna Ryan also sustained a gunshot wound to the neck. The back kiln area of the shop was described as soaked in blood.

Milton Johnson, who had a prior record including incarceration for rape and torture and had been released in March 1983, was later tied to a series of murders in Joliet that summer. Illinois State Police questioned him within weeks of the attacks, and he was eventually arrested in March 1984 in connection with another victim, Anthony Hackett. Prosecutors at trial emphasized the brutality of the crimes.

Did anyone in the community remember the ceramic shop or the victims that August day and have details that might add to what is known?
