Lia Elizabeth Szubert, a 22-year-old White/Caucasian woman, was traveling from Twin Falls to Boise, Idaho, on June 9, 1987, to meet her fiancé at the airport. She experienced car trouble on Interstate 84 and pulled over near a truck stop in Mountain Home, then called a friend; that call was the last time anyone heard from her. When she did not arrive in Boise, her family reported her missing.

On June 13, 1987 motorists found Lia’s decomposing body east of La Grande, Oregon. An autopsy determined she had been strangled, and her death was treated as a homicide. Investigators focused on drifter Darren Dee O’Neall after witnesses placed a man matching his description at the truck stop around the time Lia disappeared. O’Neall, who used aliases and changed his appearance, was questioned but never charged in Lia’s killing because no physical evidence directly linked him to the crime.

Lia’s case remains unsolved. Did anyone see Lia at the Mountain Home truck stop on June 9, 1987, or have information about people there that day?
