Yolanda Gracia was 21 when she was murdered on April 15, 1982, in Houston, Texas. She was returning home when she was attacked and fatally stabbed on her front lawn; at the time she was found clutching a bag containing her work shoes, suggesting she had just returned from her job. The attack was described as sudden and brutal and shocked the local community.

Her murder was later linked to Coral Eugene Watts, who after his arrest in May 1982 confessed to killing or attacking numerous women and admitted to murdering Yolanda Gracia. Watts provided detailed accounts of his crimes that included the stabbing of Gracia; some confessions were later covered by immunity that accompanied plea deals, while other convictions and sentences followed.

Does anyone have information about Yolanda’s last movements or remember the neighborhood in Houston where she lived?
