In the early hours of March 3, 1989, Margaret Mary Peggy Gill, a 24-year-old white woman, was found murdered in a vacant wing of the Days Inn in Merrillville, Indiana, where she worked as the night clerk. She had been sexually assaulted and shot in the head; the motel had also been robbed. On the same night Jeanne Marie Gilbert, another hotel clerk, was abducted from a Days Inn in Remington, Indiana, and her body was later recovered. Ballistics testing showed bullets from both victims were fired from the same handgun, linking the two killings and prompting investigators to label the suspect the I-65 Killer who targeted night-shift motel workers along Interstate 65.

DNA evidence collected at the scenes was preserved and later matched to an individual identified by investigators as Harry Edward Greenwell. Greenwell had a history of violent crimes; he died in 2013, so no trial followed. The identification in 2022 provided a resolution to long-unsolved attacks but also meant the case would not proceed to court.

Does anyone have memories of Peggy Gill, where she worked or frequented, or information that could add context to her life before that March 1989 night?
