Stacie L. Swofford was 17 when her body was found in a vacant lot near 45th Street and Euclid Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri; the discovery was made on April 17, 1977. An autopsy determined she had been strangled. At the time she had been estranged from her family for several months and was living on the streets.

For decades her murder remained unsolved. In the early 2000s cold case detectives linked a series of unsolved homicides to a single suspect through DNA. That man was identified as Lorenzo Gilyard, later called the Kansas City Strangler. In April 2004 Gilyard was arrested and DNA evidence tied him to the deaths of Stacie Swofford and twelve other victims. He accepted a plea bargain and in 2007 was sentenced to life without parole.

Did anyone who knew Stacie or saw her in Kansas City in 1977 come forward with memories or information about her last months?
