Both of Lynne's parents have passed.

Serial killer Richard Durst is a suspect in the disappearance of Lynne Schulze on Dec 10, 1971 and below is Richard Durst's health food store campus advertisment for O.M. Health Foods aka "All Good Things" dated 1 day before and 2 months after Lynne's disappearance. The store next to where Lynne was last seen.

Also, interesting how Richard Durst changed the name of the health store just after Lynne disappeared.

Hmm. No prunes.
 
Bumping this thread up. This December will mark 53 years since Lynne went missing.

adding the bump for Mr. Durst as well.....
His obit in the nyt was a good long discussion of this eccentric, and I think-evil- man.

I do not think Kathy, his wife and Lynne knew each other. I think Kathy arrived in Vermont/Upstate NY after Lynne disappeared.
But I have always thought they looked alike.... and wondered if Richard felt that as well!!!

Durst was clearly nuts, and a both a serial killer and serial liar. The fact that Lynne Schulze was last seen in and near his store before her disappearance points strongly to Durst as a suspect.

The following is a timeline of the day she disappeared:
7:45 AM Lynne’s roommate leaves and Lynne is still sleeping.
12:30 PM Lynne is seen by a fellow student outside a building that houses the bus station and a local health food store, All Good Things , on Court Street in Middlebury. She is eating dried prunes that she purchased at All Good Things and says she is going to New York, but the bus has already left. Lynne walked back to campus with a fellow college student.
12:45 PM Lynne is seen by a friend and fellow student in her dorm room. The two have a final exam together at 1:00 PM. Lynne does not want to talk about the exam, and is distracted and looking for her favorite pen.
12:50 PM Lynne is seen by the same friend and is still in her dorm room.
12:55 PM Lynne is no longer in her dorm room and the friend goes to the final exam.
1:00 PM Lynne did not take her final exam.
2:15 PM Lynne is seen standing on Court Street by another fellow college student. She is across from the bus station and the health food store. This is the last time she is ever seen.

In July 2012, police received an anonymous tip that Robert Durst owned a health food store in Middlebury around the time of Lynne's disappearance. In 2015, Durst was arrested on a first-degree murder charge of Susan Berman, his longtime friend, who was killed in 2000. In 2003, he was acquitted in the 2001 dismemberment death of his neighbor while living in Texas. Durst has long been suspected in the 1982 disappearance of his first wife, Kathie Durst. While Durst is not a suspect in Lynne's disappearance, police are investigating a possible link.
