Terri Kay Roark, 31, was found dead along the shoulder of Interstate 87 in Clifton Park, New York, on March 29, 1988, near the Thaddeus Kosciusko Bridge. An autopsy determined she died of a fatal skull fracture and her death was ruled a homicide; circumstances suggested she had been pushed from a moving vehicle. She had been last seen alive eight days earlier leaving a mental health facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma and had no known ties to the northeastern United States. It took five months for authorities to identify her after fingerprints were matched to a Texas database.

A gray duffel bag with some of her personal belongings was recovered the same day in the center median about 11 miles north of where her body was found; it appeared to have been thrown from a vehicle. Investigators interviewed multiple truck drivers and followed various leads, but no arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

Does anyone have information about Roark’s movements between Tulsa and upstate New York, or recall seeing a gray duffel bag on I-87 in late March 1988?
