On the evening of Thursday, September 12, 1996, 18-year-old Rhonda Johnson and her six-month-old son Corán were found shot to death inside a blue Toyota Camry parked on Grenhart Road in Stamford, Connecticut. A passerby walking a dog noticed the car shortly before 8:00 p.m. and called police. Rhonda was slumped over the steering wheel and Corán remained secured in his car seat in the back; both had gunshot wounds to the head.

Rhonda had recently graduated from Westhill High School, was taking part-time classes at a local community college and worked as a dietary aide at Stamford Hospital. She had picked Corán up from a babysitter around 3:30 p.m. and was expected at work by 4:00 p.m.; when she did not show up her family became concerned. Investigators recovered fingerprints, DNA, hair and fibers from the scene, but the murder weapon was never found.

The case remains unsolved with no arrests announced. The victims’ story was later featured on Connecticut’s cold case playing cards and a state-funded reward is available for information.

If anyone knew Rhonda, Corán, their routines, or saw the blue Camry on September 12, please contact the Stamford Police Department or the state Cold Case Unit with what you know.
