Heather Uffelman was 22 and a student at Middle Tennessee State University when she and her fiancé, 22-year-old Jeremy Rolfs, traveled from Tennessee to Marietta, Georgia on October 24, 1992 to sell an Apple Quadra 950 to a buyer who called himself Tom Johnson. After delays at a motel, the man persuaded them to help load the equipment, then returned to the motel room, produced a gun, ordered them to wrap themselves in bedsheets, and attacked them with a hammer. Heather died of severe head injuries at a nearby hospital; Rolfs survived and later provided identifying details about the man who used the name Tom Johnson.

Investigators later considered Thomas Steeples, a Nashville computer-store owner arrested in 1994 in connection with a similar double homicide, as a strong suspect in Heather’s killing, but no forensic link was established and Steeples died of a drug overdose in jail before he could be tried. The case remains officially unsolved, and the true identity of Tom Johnson has never been definitively established. Heather’s family created the Heather Uffelman Memorial Scholarship at Middle Tennessee State University.

Did anyone who knew Heather or saw her and Jeremy in late October 1992 ever hear of a buyer using the name Tom Johnson or recognize the descriptions provided by Rolfs?
