JUSTICE AT LAST FOR 1978 CARROLL BONNET MURDER

WATSON
THREE decades after his naked body was found dead of a single stab wound, with a taunting note left for cops, justice has finally been served on his killer.
A jury took just a few hours to convict Jerry Watson, now 52 of first degree murder for the weird 1978 murder of the 61-year-old hospital worker.
At the time of the killing, the 19-year-old Watson left a puzzling note which said: "I'm leaving this crime with only one clue. Find it yourself. Die pig. –Helter." 
And after getting away with his crime for 33-years Watson must have thought that he'd gotten away with his crime but the Omaha Police Department's cold case unit, began investigating the case again.
