June Stott, 30, of Rochester, New York, disappeared on October 23, 1989. Her boyfriend reported her missing; she was described as mentally ill and known to sometimes vanish without warning, which initially set her case apart from a pattern detectives were tracking among other missing women.

On November 23, 1989, a man walking his dog along the Genesee River gorge found Stott’s body. The autopsy ruled strangulation and documented extensive post-mortem mutilation, a detail investigators later saw as an escalation suggesting the killer returned to or lingered with the dead. That difference raised the question of whether more than one predator was active in Rochester.

Investigators pursued tips about a man known on the street as Mike or Mitch. After an aerial search near Salmon Creek, police spotted a body and saw a man on a bridge who fled; he was identified as Arthur John Shawcross, questioned, photographed and released, then later identified by surviving women and arrested on January 5, 1990. Shawcross was tried, found sane and guilty of multiple counts of second-degree murder and received a sentence amounting to 250 years; he also later pleaded guilty to an additional murder charge in another county.

If anyone knew June, her relationships in Rochester, or saw her around October 23, 1989, does that information still exist to help complete her story?
