Rhonda Higdon Crump was 16 when she was murdered on July 13, 1980, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She had married Thomas Wayne Crump, more than two decades her senior, after meeting him where she worked at a KFC; they had one child. Their marriage had broken down and Rhonda filed for divorce the same day she was killed.

There he ordered her from the vehicle and shot her five times with a 9mm automatic, later concealing her body in a nearby ditch. Thomas Crump became the primary suspect and was later arrested; he confessed to a series of killings and was convicted of Rhonda’s murder and sentenced to life imprisonment.

Does anyone have memories of Rhonda, her family, or details about her life in Albuquerque that could add to the record?
