  • The town had only one reported homicide in nearly 10 years
  • Two years ago, investigators found the remains of a missing woman
  • Her husband has been charged in the death

(CNN) -- Nearly three decades ago, a woman disappeared from the Connecticut town of Newtown, leaving behind a trail of questions.

For years, investigators grappled for answers in the 1984 case. In 2010, they found her skeletal remains buried under the flooring of an apartment kitchen, and arrested her husband.

Until last week's elementary school massacre, the break in the cold case was the big headline in the town of 27,000 people.

It became the only reported homicide in the town in nearly a decade. A study of FBI numbers dating to 2004 listed only the woman's killing.

Then came Friday, when a gunman blasted his way through Sandy Hook Elementary School, spraying bullets and slaughtering terrified children in the second-deadliest shooting in U.S. history.

Victim's mom: 'I have a hole in my heart'

When the whiz of bullets subsided, 20 children, six adults, and the gunman lay dead. Earlier, he had shot and killed his mother.
