Interesting that one of the details is that her hair was "chopped off". Found a link to a Criminally Listed episode on last phone calls that shows a news article from that time. I suppose that one of the sleuths here with an account on one of the newspaper archive sites may be able to locate that information. I did a quick search but didn't find much yet on the web.
