Laura Marie Gomez was found dead in her Mexico City apartment on October 3, 1977. The case file describes her as a 23-year-old college student who had been brutally beaten, stomped to death and tortured; her teeth had been pulled out. An autopsy found she was about two-and-a-half months pregnant.

Ricardo Silvio Caputo, an Argentine American later nicknamed The Lady Killer, fled to Mexico City in 1977 and was linked by authorities to Gomez’s killing. Investigators believed Caputo was both her killer and the father of the unborn child. Caputo surrendered to New York police on March 9, 1994, and confessed to multiple murders including Gomez’s. He died in custody at Attica State Prison on October 1, 1997.

Are there readers who remember Laura or who knew where she lived or studied in Mexico City in 1977?
