Anna Olesiewicz was 18 when she went missing from Neptune City in August 1982. She and a friend had gone to the Asbury Park boardwalk; after the friend left briefly, Anna remained on a bench and was never seen alive again. A missing persons report was filed the next morning.

On January 14, 1983, children found skeletal remains in a vacant lot behind a Route 35 fast-food restaurant in Ocean Township. An autopsy determined Anna had been shot four times in the head. Investigators later focused on Richard Biegenwald; a distinctive ring he had given his girlfriend was identified as belonging to Anna, and he was arrested on January 22, 1983 and charged with her murder.

Biegenwald was convicted of Anna’s killing and was initially sentenced to death; that sentence was overturned and he was resentenced to life in prison. He was also linked to several other murders and became known as The Thrill Killer.

Did anyone who knew Anna or was in Asbury Park that August remember seeing her on the boardwalk that evening?
