Linda Sutton, 31, was abducted and murdered on May 23, 1981, in Villa Park, Illinois. Her body was found ten days later in a field, mutilated, with her left breast amputated — injuries later linked to a series of ritualistic killings attributed to a group called the Ripper Crew or Chicago Rippers.

Authorities attribute the Ripper Crew’s crimes in 1981–1982 to four men: Robin Gecht, Edward Spreitzer, and brothers Andrew and Thomas Kokoraleis. Their attacks on women involved abduction, sexual assault, mutilation and murder; Linda Sutton’s killing is described as the first attributed to the group.

Investigations eventually led to arrests in late 1982 and subsequent sentences for members of the group. Does anyone have information about Linda Sutton’s life, last known contacts or movements in Villa Park before May 23, 1981?
