Kathy Williams was a 22-year-old white woman from Boston who disappeared after being last seen on September 18, 1982. Her family searched for months; in 1983 her remains were recovered in a wooded area near Boston and the missing-person case became a homicide investigation.

Investigators noted disturbing similarities between Kathy’s death and other unsolved cases in the area. Leonard Paradiso, a convicted murderer who was later imprisoned for the 1979 killing of 20-year-old Marie Iannuzzi, became a suspect because his methods and victim profile were said to align with Kathy’s case and those of Melodie Stankiewicz and Holly Davidson. No charges were filed against Paradiso in connection with Kathy Williams’s homicide. Prosecutors announced in September 2008 that they were reopening the investigations into the three deaths, but Kathy’s murder remains officially unsolved.

Does anyone have information about Kathy’s last known movements around September 18, 1982, or the wooded area where her remains were found?
