    THIS STORY:
    At 11:30 p.m., two young girls who lived in a small duplex heard people fighting inside an adjoining apartment. The girls knew the couple next door, a 23-year-old man named Willard Colwell and his fiancee, Rosemary Peterson, also 23. Willard’s car wasn’t there, but Rosemary’s was parked in her usual spot.
    The yelling continued,
    The girls knocked on the couple’s door and called out to Rosemary. They first heard a man shout that they “just had a fight.” Rosemary then screamed for help.
    When they finally went inside, they were met with one of the bloodiest crime scenes ever investigated in Rockford.

    Thank you Ron for bringing this case to light again. This was my sister. Rosemary was a beautiful, vibrant young girl and still missed by her family after all these years. Even to this day her siblings and other family members review & rehash that horrible event…looking for a break to lead us to Who brutally murdered her. We have made contact with detectives numerous times over the years and even recently but to no avail. Thank you for caring.

      thanks Gloria. I am glad to help get the word out. It is disappointing to hear that the detectives don't arise you on status. Sound like it is forgotten by them...hmm..Surprising, because they solved the Tammy Tracy case on familial genetic DNA, which I have covered extensively.
      Feel free to keep me posted. If you don't get a response from this episode; from them, I am happy to shout again at them --louder.

      Gloria, I just saw this in an earlier comment from someone within the police department there:
      ruclips.net/channel/UCml3bBviCWVbVPviCQRxTpA
      "The police department here in Rockford are so busy now, that they can't get to every crime scene each night. They didn't answer the phones today. Present investigations are backed up. We are very defunded and crime ridden. It would have to be solved with a private source. Very sorry to say."
      This is unacceptable. Have you reached out to the news media there? I saw they covered it a year ago. keep the pressure on, it's all about who has the squeaky wheel. the loudest.
      I am here to help if you need me.
      Ron

      @@FacesoftheForgotten Hi! This is Rosemary's niece. I had contacted the police department a couple of times last year to get any updated info and refer information to the police. They did inform me that they were able to retrieve partial DNA off of either the knife or the machete. I had asked them about possibly doing familial DNA, but the detective (the third one in an 8 week period) that got assigned to the case told me that they don't like to do that because it could potentially be messy. So they did put the partial DNA into CODIS, but it sits in there without a hit.

      @FacesoftheForgotten  Год назад +23

      @@paupenhouse3910 - please contact me at facesforgottentoday@gmail.com. I am willing to meet family members that are able to come out to Rosemary's grave at Calvary tomorrow Monday or Tuesday to shoot a 5 minute update for my channel. This response from the Rockford Police Department is not acceptable. Crime solving is always messy! Let's let them know.
      I don't see some of the comments here, and I am leaving for the southern states mid week (this week) for 6 weeks. Hope to get the word out now. This killer is most likely still alive and shuddering in his boots right now knowing about familial matching science thats going on all over the world..

    Just because there was no forced entry doesn't necessarily mean she knew her murderer. 40 plus years ago you was probably more likely to forget to lock your door. A stalker could have been watching the commings and goings.

    I hear all the time “no sign of forced entry “. But think about it, someone knocks on your door and what do you do? You walk over and open it! Especially during that era, people didn’t necessarily think twice about it. So of course no forced entry. In no way blaming the victim, that’s just how it was and still is to a certain degree even now.

Well done the neighbours for their quick actions. I am sure she must have relatives alive, it is time for her justice. Perhaps , put posters up around Rockford with that photo of her, reminding people of the crime! Might put a bit of pressure on the police, or remind them of the case as well.
