Deborah Lynn McConnell was 25 when she vanished from New Bedford, Massachusetts, after a funeral in May 1988. Her father saw her last at the cemetery following her mother’s funeral; weeks passed into months without contact and her birthday went unmarked by a call.The body of McConnell was found on December 1, 1988, off Route 140 northbound in Freetown. She was discovered nude, with a bra wrapped around her neck.

Her death was ruled a homicide and investigators treated her as the third apparent victim in a series later called the New Bedford Highway Killings.During 1988–89 nine women’s bodies were found along highways near New Bedford and two other women who disappeared are presumed victims. Several people were investigated over the years and one man arrested in a related killing had charges dropped; no one has been charged in McConnell’s murder.

Does anyone have information about Deborah or her movements in May 1988 that could help investigators?
