Stephanie Murray, 25, was found dead on February 13, 1994, in a small pond near the Bonnet Carré Spillway outside New Orleans. Her death was treated as part of a series of linked killings attributed to the so-called Storyville Slayer, a pattern of homicides that often involved strangulation and victims left in remote, watery locations. Murray’s case was absorbed into the larger investigation, which investigators struggled to advance amid many victims who led transient lives.

Two men later emerged as primary suspects in the wider series: former New Orleans police officer Victor Gant and Russell Ellwood. Ellwood was convicted in one of the murders in the series, but most cases, including Stephanie Murray’s, remained officially unsolved. No public evidence has been released that definitively connects either suspect to her death.

Does anyone have information about Stephanie’s life, movements, or who may have seen her in the weeks before February 13, 1994?
