I read about this case recently, but I can't recall where...It's unbelievable how many UIDs die after getting hit by a car...Sometimes it makes you wonder if a lot of the victims were hit intentionally...

What a solid match. Circumstance, physical description and timeline all correspond.

From Linda Spradlin's thread:

I commented an update a while back but it was deleted because the information wasn’t verified or something. I don’t know how I could have provided documentation or sources for something that wasn’t acknowledged by law enforcement or local media (until I got in contact with one amazing investigator in Oklahoma), but there IS a social security death record for Linda now. Family and Oklahoma authorities confirmed everything I’d said previously. She had traveled down to Texas with a male companion and passed away there March 10, 1988 (in Garland, Dallas County). The male companion was considered next of kin, as far as I’ve been told, so no one in her immediate or extended family was notified at the time. The man didn’t know much about her and had no way to let the family know. That being said, last I heard they were trying to find out what happened to her remains (buried or cremated, where, etc.)
