Tammy Little, 20, was found dead in her first-floor apartment at 315 Maplewood Avenue in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on Tuesday, October 19, 1982. A student at the Portsmouth Beauty School who hoped to become a model, she had been noted as sociable and outgoing. Friends last saw her when they dropped her off after a night out in Boston, several days before her body was discovered after people became concerned she hadn’t been heard from.

An autopsy determined Tammy died from blunt force trauma to the head. The violence of the killing and multiple similarities to an earlier Portsmouth murder — that of fellow beauty school student Laura Kempton less than a year before — left many believing the cases might be connected. Investigators named several persons of interest over the years and examined local suspects with criminal histories, but no arrest was ever made in Tammy’s case. The investigation remains active and open.

Did anyone who knew Tammy, her routines, or her circle in 1982 see anything unusual in the days before October 19?
