Murder of Jane Britton

 * ... that the murder of Jane Britton (pictured) 50 years ago today is the oldest cold case solved in Middlesex County, Massachusetts? "Britton’s killing is the oldest cold case Middlesex prosecutors have ever solved" The Boston Globe; November 20, 2018
 * ALT1:... that the red ochre found around the body of Jane Britton (pictured) 50 years ago today ultimately turned out to be a red herring in solving her murder? Source: "Additionally, this case had several `red herrings' including the presence of red ochre at the crime scene which ultimately were unrelated to the crime." Press release by Middlesex County, Massachusetts, District Attorney's office, November 20, 2018
 * Reviewed: HMS Safari
 * Comment: I would like this to run on January 7 (I know this is cutting it close at this point but as usual I'd rather nominate the article when I've gotten it to the level I wanted. Plus holidays).

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Sad interesting topic, well written on substantial sources, no copyvio obvious, "your" image looks licensed and is a good illustration. I like the ALT better, but would prefer a way to link showing it's not about her but her murder. Watching. It might be necessary to mention her name without link to get "pictured" right, in order to do that. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:23, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
