Jill Ann Ermellini was 34 when her badly decomposed body was found inside the cab of an abandoned truck in an auto body yard in the Indian Orchard neighborhood of Springfield, Massachusetts. Her body was discovered on June 16, 1997; because of the decomposition the initial cause of death was undetermined, investigators did note cocaine in her system and that her clothing had been removed. Jill had recently moved to Springfield from Windsor Locks, Connecticut and was working as a waitress.

For years her death was one of several unsolved murders of women in Springfield during the 1990s, a period marked by a crack cocaine epidemic and a series of victims who were often vulnerable and struggling with addiction. In the fall of 2010 Alfred Gaynor, previously convicted in 2000 for four other murders, admitted to killing additional women and confessed to luring Jill on June 15, 1997, attacking and strangling her, robbing her, and concealing her body in the truck where she was found; he later pleaded guilty to her murder.

Did anyone who knew Jill in Windsor Locks or Springfield remember her job, whereabouts, or who she was with around mid-June 1997?
