Connie Lynne Luther, 29, was found dead in Kansas City, Missouri, on January 11, 1993. A motorist discovered her body in a snowdrift near 25th Street and Allen Terrace on the city’s West Side. She was nude, face down among leaves and trash, with a shoelace tied tightly around her neck; investigators concluded she had been strangled and likely killed elsewhere before being discarded at the scene.

At the time she was found, police had no immediate suspects or established motive and the case grew cold with little media attention. Years later, DNA testing linked samples from a series of unsolved homicides to Lorenzo Jerome Gilyard Jr., who was arrested in 2004 and later convicted in other killings. Authorities identified Luther as one of the victims connected to that investigation, though her case was not among those tried.

Did anyone in the Kansas City area remember seeing or hearing anything around 25th Street and Allen Terrace in January 1993 that might help clarify what happened to Connie Luther?
