Do you know who murdered Lockey M Mitten? In the summer of 2007, a quiet mobile home park in Williamstown, New Jersey, became the scene of a grim discovery that would leave a community in shock and a family searching for answers. On the evening of Saturday, July 28th, a neighbor went to check on 64-year-old Lockey M. Mitten at her residence in the Colonial Estates Mobile Home Park. What the neighbor found was a tragedy; Lockey was deceased on her living room sofa. It was immediately apparent that she had not died of natural causes.
Authorities were called to the scene, and it was determined that Lockey Mitten, a widow, had been the victim of a homicide. An investigation revealed that her throat had been slashed. Despite the violent nature of her death, investigators found no signs of a forced entry into her home. Furthermore, it did not appear that anything had been stolen, which suggested that robbery was not the motive for this brutal act. The last time anyone reported seeing Lockey alive was around 5:30 p.m.
the previous day, leaving a window of time during which the tragic event occurred.
Lockey, originally from Baltimore, Maryland, had been a resident of the Williamstown area since 1968. For four decades, she worked as a secretary for N.J. Bell and Verizon before retiring in 1999. She was a mother to two daughters and a grandmother to four grandchildren. She is also survived by a brother and her beloved dog, Patrick. In the years that have passed since her death, the case has remained unsolved. Despite exhaustive investigations by the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office and the Monroe Township Police Department, no arrests have been made, and no suspects have been publicly identified. A reward of $10,000 is being offered for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for her death.
