Valerie Hunt was a 22-year-old student at Tallahassee Community College who disappeared from a local shopping center in June 1984. Her skeletal remains were found three months later in a sinkhole in Wakulla County, south of Tallahassee, which started a prolonged investigation into her death.

In 1992 former police officer Robert Neal Rodriguez confessed in letters to abducting and killing Valerie, saying he had targeted her randomly at the shopping center and taken her to a remote location where he killed her. Rodriguez also confessed to the deaths of two other young girls, Megan Carr and Cherish DeSantis, and killed himself after leaving the letters; he was not formally charged or tried for Valerie Hunt’s murder.

Rodriguez’s confession brought answers to Valerie’s family after nearly eight years, and helped investigators piece together events around her abduction and death. Does anyone have information about Valerie’s last known movements at the shopping center or anyone who saw her there?
