In a significant development, a grand jury in Tarrant County declined to indict Janie Perkins on capital murder charges in a cold case from 1991. The case involves the disappearance and presumed murder of Cynthia Gonzalez, a 25-year-old woman from Arlington. Perkins, a 63-year-old from Azle, was arrested in November after a renewed investigation by UT Arlington criminology students and Arlington police. Their work led to new leads, including witness statements implicating Perkins. However, the grand jury found the evidence insufficient. Prosecutors acknowledged the challenges of cold cases, while Perkinss defense team praised the jurys fair review. The district attorneys office remains open to new tips, emphasizing that justice can take time and persistence may still yield results.
