Linda Carroll Missing Person Case

Linda Kay Carroll, a 24-year-old mother of two from Crestview, Florida, went missing on the night of September 25, 1984. At the time of her disappearance, she was going through a difficult divorce from her estranged husband, Dennis Wayne Carroll. That night, Linda was last seen at her home on Kingston Road, where her parents had dropped her off. Neighbors reported hearing screams and the sound of a car speeding away shortly after. The next day, Linda did not show up for work, prompting concern from her family.

When investigators arrived at her home, they found several alarming signs. Her bedsheets were missing, and clumps of hair were discovered in the house. Linda’s personal items, including her purse and shoes, were also gone, leading authorities to suspect foul play. A note, apparently left by Linda, was found, but its authenticity has been questioned. In the following days, her estranged husband Dennis, who had been emotionally and physically abusive, became the prime suspect. He admitted to visiting the house that night but claimed Linda was not there. Dennis, however, was never charged, and he passed away in 2014.

Linda’s disappearance remains unsolved, but her family continues to seek closure, hoping that someone may come forward with new information. Her case has stayed in the public eye for decades, with law enforcement and her loved ones suspecting foul play. Despite extensive investigations, no definitive leads have surfaced, and Linda has not been found.
