Aura Marina Gabor was 26 and worked as a masseuse when she was killed in Alexandria, Virginia, in the late summer of 1976. She lived in an apartment complex where the man later identified as her killer also lived. On August 4, Montie Ralph Rissell, then 19 and a resident of the same building, encountered Gabor. By his own account he became angry and led her to a nearby ravine, where he drowned her. Another account says she was strangled with her own bra and her body was found in a creek off Shirley Highway.

Gabor’s murder became the first in a series of killings in the Alexandria area. Rissell later confessed to her death and to four additional murders between 1976 and 1977, and was convicted and given multiple life sentences for those crimes.

Did anyone in Alexandria at the time know Aura Marina Gabor, where she worked, or remember her on the night of August 4?
