Phyllis G. Harris was 58 when she was found strangled to death in her West End Richmond home on August 16, 1994. A white woman who lived alone, her killing occurred amid a sharp rise in homicides that year and heightened fear across the city, especially among older women.

Her death is counted among a string of similar slayings from 1990 to 1996 that investigators later called the Golden Years Murders. While several cases in that series were later linked to Leslie Leon Burchart, his connection to Harris’s murder is described as unclear and her killing remains officially unsolved.
