At a little after 4 PM on August 21st, 1984, on the side of the road at East Loop 338 just outside Odessa, Texas city limits, a man thought he\u2019d witnessed a hit and run involving a pedestrian and a gold Buick. But when Ector County Sheriff\u2019s Deputy David Montgomery discovered it wasn\u2019t a hit and run at all, rather, a woman had been stabbed and slashed repeatedly. The woman was Janet Eva Gregston, who was 7 months pregnant. When a man claiming to have ESP entered the Sheriff\u2019s Office to tell them about his visions, he quickly became suspect number one \u2013 or the only suspect, really \u2013 and he was subsequently arrested and indicted. Doubt about his guilt, however, wasn\u2019t only felt be his defense attorney \u2013 and the entire debacle was eerily reminiscent of another failed attempt at a murder conviction a couple years before.

If you have any information about the murder of Janet Eva Gregston, please contact Odessa Crime Stoppers at (432)333-8477.
