Linda Sue Belcher was 22 when her body was found near 59th Avenue and Broadway in Phoenix on March 1, 1974. Authorities determined her death was by force and treated it as a homicide. She was a young mother; burial records list her at Tempe Double Butte Cemetery in Maricopa County and her son, Billy Ray Glass Jr., was about eight years old at the time.

For decades the killing remained unsolved and family and friends had few answers about what happened in the hours before she was found. In the late 2010s investigators re-examined old cases after confessions by serial killer Samuel Little. In 2018 a Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office detective informed Belcher’s son that evidence and information tied his mother’s death to Little, and the county attorney’s office received a case submission in February 2019 about Little’s possible involvement.

Did anyone who knew Linda or her movements in early 1974 ever share information with investigators or family members?
