Case History
The victim was discovered by the County Sheriff's Department on November 24, 1974 behind what was at that time a nearly constructed Interstate Mall, located at I-4 and Highway 436.
She may be a victim of convicted serial killer Gerald Stano, who confessed to killing the woman in October 1974, and dumping her body at a construction site. He claimed to have picked her up as a hitchhiker, and not to have known her name.
She may have had ties to California or Arizona as her wedding rings had been sold between 1969 to 1972 to jewelry stores in those states. The rings could not be traced.
