Oh wow… It really was a match. RIP Melinda Beardsley. Hopefully the second half of this unfortunate case, her murder, is also solved one day soon.

Hopefully, but I wouldn't hold my breath on that one. Only evidence was a witness statement saying that two white guys were dragging something heavy out of a Toyota Celica. No forensics. There were just under half a million Celicas sold in the US through 1977, so if they couldn't narrow down the owner to one of the two guys at the time, they certainly can't now.
