In April 1984 a rural Iowa community was rocked by three closely timed killings. On April 13 the body of 20-year-old Justin Hook Jr. was found near his burned-out mobile home in the Drakesville area. When investigators tried to contact his mother, 41-year-old Sara Link of Farmington, she could not be located. Sara’s body was found April 16 in a farm field in rural Eldon. Two days later a third victim, 19-year-old Tina Lade, Justin’s fiancée, was discovered in the same vicinity.

Investigators determined all three victims had been beaten to death with a blunt object. The case went cold with no arrests and no clear motive established at the time. In January 2014 DNA testing linked a man named Andrew Six to the murders; he had been a suspect in 1984 but was never charged. Six had been arrested in 1987 for the abduction and murder of a 12-year-old girl and was executed by lethal injection in Missouri in August 1997. The suspected motive in the 1984 killings is reported to have involved a car deal.

Did anyone in Farmington, Drakesville or Eldon remember disputes over a car or any unexplained visitors around April 1984 who might shed more light on these killings?
