Ann Hodgins was 19 and from Scranton, Pennsylvania when she died on September 1, 1981. Her death was originally ruled an accident but later evidence showed she had been murdered. The case went unsolved for decades.

An anonymous letter sent to the Scranton Times-Tribune in 2014 described the writer hearing a female scream and seeing a fire on Interstate 81 around the time of Ann’s death. That letter prompted Scranton police to reopen the investigation; detectives have tried to contact the letter writer for more information. No arrests have been announced, and the case remains open. The initial investigation has been criticized and the family continues to seek justice.

Are there readers who remember anything from the Scranton area around Labor Day 1981 or who can help investigators reach the person who wrote that 2014 letter?
