More information would help investigators with this case.

Did Anita make it to her babysitting job? What were the addresses, her route, and method of travel?

Bumping this thread up. Anita's 1975 murder is still unsolved 50 years later.

I don't find any published info in articles after Sep 1975, except for that on the AG website. Providing some additional excerpted info here from Sep 1975 articles:

There was a mention in other places (not MSM, but excerpt/transcript from podcast) that she was seen at a local pharmacy on the day she went missing.
