A $10,000 reward is being offered for any tip that leads to an arrest and conviction in the killing of a 93-year-old Augusta woman, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation said Tuesday.
The reward is offered in equal parts by the state and family of the victim.
A family member found Joanne R. Johnson dead in her home on Sept. 3, 2023. She was killed in her home at 1711 Robbins sometime between the evening of Sept. 2, 2023 and the evening of the next day. It was Labor Day weekend.
Johnson had an “unmatched amount of love and pride in her grandchildren and great-grandchildren” and enjoyed University of Kansas basketball, according to her obituary.
