Michelle Denise Simms, 22, was murdered in Tampa, Florida, on May 27, 1984. She was one of several women abducted, sexually assaulted, and killed during a violent crime spree in the Tampa Bay area that year.

Investigators later linked her death to Bobby Joe Long, who was arrested on November 16, 1984. Long’s offenses during that period included kidnapping and sexual battery among other violent crimes; he was sentenced to death for Simms’s murder in 1986. Her case has been discussed in true crime coverage that examined the investigative work leading to Long’s capture.
