On the morning of September 23, 1986, 61-year-old Lorea Robertson of the Blackburn Apartments in Paducah, Kentucky, was found dead in her apartment at 11:43 a.m. The scene showed she had been sexually assaulted and murdered. Neighbors had seen her the night before at about 9:30 p.m.; she spoke with two neighbors outside, then returned inside and blinked her porch light to signal she was safely home. She lived alone.

Investigators found signs of forced entry and believe the killer may have entered through a utility-room window. No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been reported, and the Paducah Police Department lists the case as a cold case. Very little else about her final hours is publicly known.

If anyone knew Lorea, lived at the Blackburn Apartments in 1986, or has information about that night, please share what is known with the Paducah Police Department.
