Angelica Lavallee was 14 when she disappeared and was killed on May 20, 1983, in Brevard County, Florida. She and a friend, Barbara Ann Byer, also 14, were hitchhiking along Interstate 95 when two men, David Alan Gore and his cousin Fred Waterfield, offered them a ride. According to later statements, once inside the van Gore produced a gun, restrained the girls and drove them to a secluded location where both were subjected to extreme violence.
Angelica’s body was never recovered, but Gore confessed to her murder and provided details about the events leading to her death. Gore and Waterfield, later called the Killing Cousins, were linked to a series of brutal murders of vulnerable victims, often hitchhikers, between 1981 and 1983. Their crimes included sexual assault, torture and dismemberment; Gore admitted to killing six women, including Angelica and Barbara Ann Byer.
Gore and Waterfield were arrested and convicted for their roles in the killings. Gore was sentenced to death and executed by lethal injection in 2012, and Waterfield received multiple life sentences. Does anyone have memories or information about Angelica, Barbara or the stretch of I-95 where they were last seen?
