Leah Evans, a 28-year-old white woman from Park Slope, Brooklyn, was murdered on February 27, 1993. A Sarah Lawrence College graduate and mother of two, Julian and Eve, she was reported missing before the discovery of her death. According to the killer’s later confession, Joel Rifkin strangled Evans, transported her to a wooded area on the far eastern end of Long Island, and buried her in a shallow grave; her remains were not found for several months.

The case broke open in June 1993 when Rifkin was stopped for a traffic violation and then arrested after police found a victim in his vehicle. He began confessing to multiple murders and was later charged with, among others, the killings of Leah Evans and Lauren Marquez. The loss of Evans is part of the wider investigation into Rifkin’s crimes and remained a devastating blow to her family and community.

Did anyone in Park Slope or eastern Long Island at the time have information about Leah’s movements in February 1993?
