Case History
The victim was found by a passing motorist at 10:20 a.m. on September 12, 1976 off the roadway in the 5600 block of Dogwood Road, 21207. That is just a short distance from Lorraine Park Cemetery.
Detectives launched an extensive investigation at the time to find the killer. But they turned up no witnesses and no leads, and since then the case has been reviewed a number of times. The young woman's fingerprints have been checked against the records of every state in the union, with no matches. No matches have been found for her dental records. Investigators have followed up on similar cases in other states as far away as Illinois and California. But they have found nothing.
