Unsolved: The 1991 Murder of Joy Hibbs Resurfaces
A decades-old unsolved homicide in Pennsylvania was finally solved after a retired police chief revealed that a suspect had been protected due to his status as a confidential informant. The suspect, Robert Atkins, was eventually charged and sentenced to life in prison for the 1991 murder of Joy Hibbs. The revelation left the detective baffled and the victim's family furious. The case had been mishandled, with authorities allegedly ignoring Atkins as a suspect and focusing on the victim's husband instead. It took years for Atkins to be arrested and charged, with the district attorney citing pending matters for the delay.
