Seventy-Year-Old Arrested in 1987 Cold Case | Jacksonville News

A 70-year-old man, Gary Edward Glowacz, has been arrested for the brutal 1987 murder of 20-year-old Melissa Ellison, whose infant daughter survived unharmed. The case, reopened after years of silence, was cracked thanks to renewed family efforts and new leads. Ellison was struck with a charred fireplace log after a forced window break-in. Glowacz, with a history of 80s and 90s crimes, is now held without bail. This arrest underscores the Sheriff’s Office’s commitment to justice, even decades later.
