Darcie Frackenpohl was a 17-year-old Caucasian female who was murdered on September 17, 1987. Originally from Seattle, she had run away from home and was living in Sacramento, California when she died; her body was found in South Lake Tahoe, California. Investigators later determined she was a victim of Roger Kibbe, the so-called I-5 Strangler.

Kibbe was arrested in 1987 on an assault and battery charge after attempting to handcuff a woman, and while serving an eight-month sentence police developed a murder case against him. He was arrested in 1988 for Frackenpohl’s murder, convicted of first-degree murder in 1991 and sentenced to 25 years to life. Investigators linked him to additional killings; his reported method included kidnapping, binding victims with parachute rigging cord, silencing them with duct tape, cutting clothing irregularly and strangulation.

If anyone knew Darcie, saw her in Sacramento or South Lake Tahoe in September 1987, or has information about her movements before she was killed, please share what is known.
