Donna Naomi Bacot, 24, was murdered after leaving a Nashville bar in the early hours of October 3, 1991. She and her sister met a man at B.J.’s County Lounge who gave the name Terry; later he went with Donna to a roadside stop on Dickerson Road and then to the Esquire Motel. Staff saw the pair enter about 4 a.m., and when the room rented under the name Terry Campbell failed to checkout, the manager entered and found Donna dead. She was naked, with a pillow over her face and a towel tightened around her neck; the room appeared to have been rinsed down and detectives recovered fingerprints and bloodstains.

The motel alias eventually led investigators to Texas, where the man using that name was arrested on an unrelated charge and identified as Michael Scott Magliolo. According to investigators, Magliolo admitted to sexually assaulting and strangling Donna and was linked to killings in other states. He was charged in Tennessee and later convicted and sentenced to prison; authorities say he was also convicted in Ohio and had claimed additional victims that were not prosecuted.

Did anyone who knew Donna, worked at B.J.’s, or saw a man using the name Terry in Nashville that night come forward with information?
