The victim was located on August 28, 1991, stabbed and partially buried, in South Ozone Park, NY. The body, clad in just a T-shirt and panties, was stuffed in a garbage bag and partially buried in a small wooded area at Lefferts Boulevard and South Conduit Avenue, near Kennedy Airport.
She had been stabbed in the chest several times. She had not been sexually assaulted, and the absence of tattoos on her body and narcotics in her system indicates she probably was not a prostitute or a drug addict. She may be a runaway with ties to California.The owner of the toy shop handed the T-shirts out to customers between 1978 and 1981.
