Toni Lynn Ingrassia was a 28-year-old woman from Baltimore who had been estranged from daily family life as addiction took hold. Her family had not seen her since November 1993, and public death records associate her death with February 22, 1994.

Joseph Roy Metheny, who lived and worked at the Joe Stein & Son Pallet Company on James Street, was later arrested and, during questioning in an unrelated matter, led investigators to burial sites on and beside the company grounds. Metheny was indicted in connection with Ingrassia’s killing, but prosecutors dropped those charges for lack of evidence, leaving no conviction tied to her death.

What details about Ingrassia’s last weeks or the evidence that linked and then unlinked her to Metheny remain unclear; anyone with memories of Toni Lynn, her movements in late 1993 or early 1994, or possible information about the pallet-company area is asked to come forward.
