The only time I have ever listened to a press release on one of these in which WE know more than anything they said. Disappointing. Sounds like they haven't even started this investigation.

Does anyone know if she was killed in Strongsville or just dumped there?

If she was just dumped and was killed in Akron there’s plenty of other places to dump her easier. The National park for one. Or the lake.

Agree! Total let down

Dear Carl, Ice190 and all of the incredible Websleuths member working this case,

THANK YOU.

You all show the world what strangers can do when they work together.

Thank you all very very much.

Linda was one of my close friends and I have searched the web for her or information on her for many, many years. Our friendship began when her family moved to a house on my street. We used to sit in her room and listen to David Bowie songs for hours. Her mom and step-dad ended up divorcing and they moved out of the neighborhood. Linda and I remained friends and I remember she was working as a waitress, had a new mustang (I believe it was rust colored if memory serves me correctly) and had just bought new school clothes. She was very mature and smart, and I never considered for a minute that she just walked away from her family and friends. If this Strongsville Jane Doe turns out to be Linda we will still, unfortunately, always wonder what happened to her and why. And the gunshot wound is even more disturbing. She was a dear friend and I feel so bad for her family not knowing what happened all of these years. Rest in peace dear Linda. I hope you are going to David Bowie concerts in Heaven!

Are you the friend who named a daughter after Linda?

Not yet. We're new with just three episodes under our belt. But I was reading about this case the other day. I've added it to our list. Thanks!
Thank you for considering it. The case is very intriguing.

Indeed. Feel free to let us know about any other disappearances and unsolved murders in Ohio that you come across. Like I said, we're just getting started, and oh so many mysteries waiting to be solved!

I wonder who killed Linda. To me her case is still a mystery until the one responsible is found and brought to justice.

Most likely her step father, especially if he owned a gun

I was thinking about a serial killer named William Henry Redmond. He is a suspect in the 1951 disappearance of Beverly rose Potts and in the 1952 disappearance of Connie smith and the 1949 murder of Joanne Lynn.

This is the picture I referred to. First one is the original. Second is a crossed out and enhanced version. Next to her armpit there is a building. Anyone an idea which building this could be?

So she could be a victim of one of the worst serial killers known to mankind?

Where was the photo taken?
We don't know! Alcala is a serial killer who also took pictures of a lot of girls and women. His stash was found in 1979 after his final arrest.
