Miriam Eileen Chapman, also known as Angela, was 25 when she was murdered on May 16, 1976, in Miami, Florida. Her body was found near an abandoned industrial park in the Everglades; she had been strangled. Chapman had recently moved to Florida, was a mother of two, and had family ties to Indiana. She had reportedly wanted to return home to Indiana before her death.

Samuel Little later confessed to killing Chapman and provided details that linked him to the scene and circumstances of her death. Investigators were unable at first to locate next of kin because records tied to her name and social security numbers led to dead ends; her family was identified only after extensive research that included genealogy databases. Little was not formally charged in this killing because he was already serving life sentences for other murders.

If anyone knew Miriam Chapman, her movements in 1976, or has information that could add to her story, please share what is known.
