FL FL - Diana Harris, 27, Big Pine Key, 7 June 1981

Now, nearly four decades later, Diana’s daughter still fondly remembers the 10 years she spent with her mother.

“I think of all the places she took us for fun, the times she did my hair for school and when she cooked breakfast for us each morning. She really was such an amazing mom who gave my brother and I lots of love and affection,” Christine told Dateline. “She was active in every part of our short time with her. I had my first 10 years of life with her, some people don't get that".Disappearance of Florida mother still a mystery nearly four decades later

I think the fact that her then boyfriend stole a boat a week after she disappeared and then ran off to Mexico... to me that pretty much confirms him as the killer... unfortunately it also eliminates any chance of closure for her family as he no doubt dumped her body in the sea...
although at first I thought the boyfriend did it, who tries to run away like that if they're innocent? and then I thought it would be possible that both Diana and the boyfriend were involved in something drug related... maybe the boyfriend knew who killed her and was chasing him... beautiful young woman involved with the wrong guy... but she also somehow approved of drug use...
whatever the case
rest in peace
 
Not sure if the circumstances match but Diana reminds me of one of serial killer Samuel Little's victims.
Here is more info about Samuel Little's victim, Covington Jane Doe, who I think could possibly be a match. She's still unidentified.

Little stated that in approximately 1984, possibly in the summertime, he was driving his Lincoln Continental Mark III from Loraine, Ohio, to Cincinnati. While en route, he met a 25-year-old white female outside a strip club. He remembers her as being 5’6” - 5’7” tall and 130-170 pounds. Little describes her as having short blonde hair and blue eyes with a “hippie” appearance. She approached him and asked for a ride to Miami, Florida, saying her mother lived there. Little said he and the woman drove south on Interstate 75. When they reached Cincinnati, the two of them spent time downtown on Vine Street. They continued driving together, across the river into northern Kentucky. Little described driving to a hilly area not far from I-75. He drove up a small dirt road to the top of a “little round hill,” where he strangled the woman in the backseat of his car. He left her body on the top of the hill.
