Laurette Huggins Reviere, a 34-year-old Black woman from Middletown, New York, was found dead inside her home on July 10, 1992. Investigators reported she had been stabbed in the neck and chest, found nude and posed, and that the house showed signs of a struggle. Moving boxes and belongings left mid-packing suggested she had been preparing to leave, a detail police treated as part of a timeline for the killing. Forensic evidence collected at the scene included a paper coat hanger bearing a bloody fingerprint that investigators linked to their inquiries.

As police compared this scene with other disappearances and killings in the Hudson Valley, patterns of victim locations and body treatment drew attention to a single suspect, Nathaniel White. After he was questioned, investigators said he confessed to having sex with Reviere and then repeatedly stabbing and posing her body. White was charged in connection with the related killings; a jury later found him guilty on all counts and he was sentenced to a total of 150 years to life.

Did anyone in Middletown at the time know Laurette’s routines, who she was preparing to leave for, or recall anyone seen around her home in early July 1992?
