Patricia Ann Mount, 26, of Gainesville, Florida, was found naked and bruised in a field along U.S. 27 in northwestern Alachua County on September 12, 1982. She had last been seen at Mae’s Lounge at Northwest Sixth Street and Fifth Avenue in Gainesville; witnesses said she danced with Samuel Little there before they left together. Little later confessed that he drove Mount to a pasture in his Ford Pinto station wagon and strangled her, saying he was drawn to her neck.

Samuel Little was arrested and tried for Mount’s murder in January 1984 after an eyewitness placed him at the scene, but a jury acquitted him after less than half an hour of deliberation. Decades later Little confessed to Mount’s killing among many others; analysts have judged his confessions credible and DNA linked him to several murders, resulting in convictions for other victims in 2014. Because of the earlier acquittal, he was not retried for Mount’s death.

Does anyone have additional memories of Mae’s Lounge or the Gainesville area in 1982 that could shed light on Patricia’s final movements?
