On February 19, 1981, 17-year-old Taiwanese-American high school student Ying Hua Ling was abducted and murdered in Vero Beach, Florida, alongside her 48-year-old mother, Hsiang Huang Ling. Ying had recently immigrated from Taiwan and was an award-winning math student at Vero Beach High School. Gore drove to the Ling home, encountered Hsiang Ling, then abducted both women at gunpoint and forced them into his truck. The two were taken to a secluded citrus grove, where both were raped.

Gore later summoned his cousin Fred Waterfield; Gore’s confession says Waterfield raped Ying and ordered Gore to get rid of her, while Hsiang Ling was tied to a tree and left to asphyxiate. The bodies were dismembered, placed in 30-gallon pesticide drums and buried in separate citrus groves. The family’s disappearance remained unsolved until December 7, 1983, when Gore led authorities to the burial sites and remains were recovered.

Does anyone have information about the Lings’ last known movements or the neighborhood around the school bus stop that afternoon?
