MONTOGMERY COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) The Montgomery County Sheriff s Office is seeking new leads in one of their only unsolved double homicides, nearly 26 years after a man and his wife were shot to death in their Conroe home.
Detectives announced a new Cold Case Warm Up initiative, featuring unsolved crimes on a digital billboard that can be seen by I-45 drivers heading into Montgomery County. The hope is to shed new light into decades-old cases, like the one involving John and Pansy Stewart, forgotten by many.
John Stewart Sr., 78, and his wife, Pansy, 74, were found dead in August 1995 in their living room inside their house on Foster Drive.
