''On the evening of Sept. 4, 1977, the Trenton State College (now known as The College of New Jersey) campus was quiet. Classes had yet to resume for the academic year, so the dorms weren’t packed with scores of rowdy undergrads. Because no students were supposed to be on the New Jersey campus, Officer Thomas Kokotajlo of the Trenton State Campus Police was intrigued by a women’s bike chained to the railing in front of Kendall Hall during his patrol. Kokotajlo made his way through the building’s dark halls to its theater, where he spotted something on stage. At first, he thought the figure, which resembled someone sleeping, was a prop for some upcoming production. But on closer inspection, he noticed the large pool of blood. A young woman had been murdered — and more than four decades later, authorities have still not determined who committed the crime. Unsolved Mysteries Volume 4, Episode 4 “Murder Center Stage,” revisits the perplexities of this case, speaking to those who investigated it in the ‘70s as well as the detectives who picked it up decades later.''

''Detectives suspected that when Sigrid was attacked, she was playing piano with her back to whoever approached. They also believed that she was sexually assaulted, because she was found with her underwear off and her blouse tied around her mouth. A vaginal swab revealed the presence of sperm on the body. The deputy medical examiner determined Sigrid was beaten repeatedly with a blunt object and suffered bruises and lacerations to the head and body. She also had symmetrical Trenton State College on her wrists, which could have been from handcuffs. Sigrid was found wrapped in a piano blanket; despite the amount of blood at the scene, police didn’t find any footprints or fingerprints.''

I wonder if the police officer has been cleared. Just thinking of Arlis Perry.

Rbbm, speculation, imo.
Lengthy article with lots of detail.. Very interested in the lighting guy, wondering if he is still alive and where else he may have worked, curious too about the janitor.
The theater was very dark and apparently only the janitor and lighting guy knew how to turn on the lights, the lighting guy claimed that he did not have keys to the theater, but turns out he did in fact have the keys.

Unsolved Mysteries' Sigrid Stevenson Case: True Story & Updates

• ''Unsolved Mysteries features a new episode on the 1977 murder of Sigrid Stevenson, aiming to solve cold cases with public help.
• Stevenson's murder at Trenton State College remains unsolved, new suspects uncovered in the recent episode.
• Police initially suspected law enforcement or a student named Chuck, but new leads point to maintenance and theater employees.''

''On the evening of September 4, 1977, a security guard noticed a bike chained up outside of Kendall Hall. This was unusual because classes had not started yet and students at the time did not routinely chain their bicycles up outside school buildings, especially on a Sunday night.

Thus, the security guard investigated and was met with the gruesome sight of Stevenson's naked body lying on the stage in a pool of blood. She had been handcuffed and, according to Netflix, gagged with her own blouse, and was wrapped in a piano cover. That final detail has been the subject of conflicting reports.''
