Linda Mayfield Louise was 21 when she was fatally stabbed during the early morning of April 9, 1982, at the Starlite Motel, 3320 West Broadway, in Council Bluffs, Iowa. She lived in Omaha at 3852 Franklin Street and was the mother of two young children, Dajuan and Dwaynda. Officers were dispatched about 2:18 a.m. for a reported confrontation with a man armed with a knife; Linda was found face down near the motel’s north office door with numerous stab wounds. She was taken to Mercy Hospital and died about 4:00 a.m.

A friend-witness gave a detailed description of the man believed responsible: a white male, about 26 to 28 years old, roughly 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 10 inches, clean-shaven, wearing blue jeans, a blue denim jacket and a light-blue pullover with an emblem, and with a large amount of chest/neck hair visible above his collar. The witness thought his first name was Chris, but investigators never publicly established his full identity. No usable suspect DNA profile or arrest has been announced, and the case remains unsolved under Council Bluffs case number D82-0713.

Does anyone remember seeing a man matching that description in the area or who knew a man called Chris in April 1982?
