On March 28, 1989 the body of 29-year-old Robin Rhodes, also known as Bobbie Lyn, was found by a search dog along Route 140 southbound in Freetown, Massachusetts. Investigators believe she had likely been missing since March or April of 1988. Rhodes was a mother who struggled with addiction and knew several of the other victims; she was friends with fellow victim Mary Rose Santos.

Her death is attributed to the unidentified New Bedford Highway Killer, the perpetrator blamed for at least nine confirmed murders and two disappearances along the South Coast between 1988 and 1989. Rhodes was the last of the known victims to be recovered. Several men have been investigated over the years; charges were once brought in the murder of Rochelle Clifford Dopierala against Kenneth C. Ponte, a former date of Rhodes, and Anthony DeGrazia and Daniel Tavares Jr. have also been named as potential suspects. No conviction has been secured and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone knew Robin, her movements in 1988–1989, or has information about the highway killings, please share what is known.
