More than 18 years after the double-homicide at the Momence Burger King, the Illinois State Police requests the public’s help with the death investigation of two employees.

September is recognized as National Cold Case Month.

Two Burger King employees, Pam Branka, of Momence, and Paul Jones, of Donovan, were slain in an early morning January 2007 incident.

In a Monday news release, the state police’s Division of Criminal Investigation Zone 1 said they are committed to bringing justice and resolution for victims and families impacted by violent crimes. ​

The Burger King is located adjacent to the Circle K gas station at 3 Gladiolus St. in Momence.

In the early morning hours of Jan. 13, 2007, police received a 911 call. A female was heard screaming but was unable to speak to the dispatcher. ​

Momence officers arrived about one minute later and found both Branka and Jones dead.

At one point, a task force said there was a person of interest, but no one has been arrested or charged, according to Daily Journal stories about the murders.

In November 2010, the Daily Journal published an investigative series on the murders. It uncovered multiple mistakes made by the Momence Police Department in its handling of the case.
