Kathleen Ann Randall was an 18-year-old Boston University freshman last seen after a biology class on September 13, 1972. Her absence was not noticed until her roommate reported her missing on September 19. On October 1, 1972, hunters found her nude, decomposed body in woods at Yudicki Farm off Route 111-A in Nashua, New Hampshire. The medical examiner could not determine a precise cause of death because of advanced decomposition, but the circumstances led authorities to classify the death as a homicide.

The investigation suffered major setbacks over time. In the 1980s the Nashua Police Department destroyed crucial physical evidence; that destruction was not discovered until reviews in 2001 and 2015, and the reasons for it are unknown. During the same period, a Boston-area killer, Anthony J. Jackson, was convicted for several murders and was considered in some similar cases, but no definitive evidence linked him to Randall, and no arrests were ever made in her case.

Anyone who knew Kathleen, remembers her last days at Boston University, or has information about Yudicki Farm in 1972 is asked to come forward.
