Holly Spangler cold case gets a fresh look 30 year later
In July 1993, 19-year-old Holly Spangler went for a walk around 5 p.m. in Moir Park along Nine Mile Creek, but she never came home and was reported missing. Days later, her body was discovered with a single stab wound to the chest. There was no evidence of sexual assault, and her clothing was still intact.
Holly worked at the Menards store in Eden Prairie when she was killed. FOX 9 had a chance to speak with one of her former co-workers, who said they immediately knew something was very wrong when Holly didn’t show up for work because she was an excellent employee and was never late.
Despite leads, interviews, and evidence, the 30th anniversary of Holly's murder came and went this year with no arrests. The case landed on Detective Boomer's desk about a year ago.
"The lack of physical evidence back then is extremely daunting," said Boomer. "You have to basically start at zero, and you’re trying to go back 30 years, and you don’t have the luxury of being there 30 years ago... I don’t have a great idea of what the scene looked like... I have pictures, but I wasn’t there."
