Valencia Kay Joshua was 22 when she was murdered on February 24, 1992. She was last seen on the Texas State Technical Institute campus; witnesses reported she had been knocking on the window of Kenneth McDuff’s dorm room. Her body was found months later in a heavily wooded area near the campus.

Kenneth McDuff was identified as the perpetrator of Joshua’s murder. McDuff had a long history of violent crimes, including a 1966 triple homicide for which he was sentenced to death, later paroled, and then linked to multiple murders after his 1989 release. He was arrested on May 4, 1992, convicted of numerous homicides and sentenced to death; he was executed by lethal injection on November 17, 1998. Joshua’s killing was cited among the cases that exposed failures in the parole system and fed calls for criminal justice reform.

If anyone knew Valencia, saw her on campus that day, or has information about her movements before she disappeared, please share what can help complete the record.
