Seventeen-year-old Linda Kay Harmon disappeared on September 3, 1975, while waiting for a bus at Wolfangel Road and Beechmont Avenue in Mount Washington, Ohio. It was her first day at Withrow High School after a recent move from Finneytown; she never arrived and was missed when she skipped a dental appointment later that day.

On October 5, 1975, dismembered remains identified as Harmon were found scattered in a wooded area in Felicity after two dogs brought human remains to a homeowner’s porch. The body had been dismembered and left exposed. In November 1977, 28-year-old Larry Ralston confessed while being returned to Ohio on unrelated charges; his admissions implicated him in multiple killings in the Cincinnati area, including Harmon’s. In 1978 Ralston was convicted of multiple counts of aggravated murder and sentenced to four life terms for the killings of Harmon, Elaina Marie Bear, Diana Sue McCrobie, and Mary Ruth Hopkins; a fifth conviction was later overturned for lack of evidence.

Does anyone have memories, documents, or leads about Harmon’s last day in Mount Washington that could add detail to this case?
