According to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, two adolescent girls have been detained in connection with a 2023 killing that had been unresolved for months.

Joanne Johnson, 93, was discovered dead at her home in Augusta on September 3, 2023. Authorities stated Johnson was slain between September 2 and September 3.

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation says two 14-year-old females from Augusta were arrested Thursday on suspicion of first-degree murder in connection to Johnson’s death.

The KBI says it is still an ongoing investigation.

It's sad that 2 at the time, 13yr old girls could do such a horrific thing.
