Ermalinda Garza Sherman, also known as Linda Sherman, was found dead on April 2, 1991, in a remote area about two miles south of Interstate 15 near St. George, Utah. She was 32 and identified as Native American; at the time she had been working as a prostitute in Las Vegas. Investigators estimated she’d been dead for about an hour when discovered.

The scene indicated a violent struggle. Sherman suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the head from a small-caliber handgun and showed signs of blunt force trauma. Because her body was left in a secluded desert location beside a major interstate and the circumstances echo other cases, her death has been linked to a series of unsolved killings referred to as the Great Basin Murders, a set of at least nine cases between 1983 and 1997 involving similar factors.

No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced and the case remains open. Can anyone who knew Sherman or who has information about travel on I-15 near St. George in early April 1991 help investigators?
