Carrie Lynn Yoder was a 26-year-old doctoral student in biological sciences at Louisiana State University who vanished after a trip to a Winn-Dixie grocery store on the evening of March 3, 2003. She missed work and classes that night; when police checked her home they found groceries in her car and on the kitchen counter and her back door ajar, suggesting a sudden, unexpected departure.

Her body was found by a fisherman on March 13, 2003, in the Whiskey Bay area of the Atchafalaya River Basin in Iberville Parish. An autopsy determined she died of asphyxiation. DNA evidence later linked her death to a series of other unsolved murders in the same remote marshland area, prompting investigators to treat the cases as connected.

Does anyone with knowledge of Yoder’s movements in Baton Rouge in early March 2003 or who frequented the Whiskey Bay area have information that could help clarify what happened?
