Katherine Kolodziej was 17 and a freshman at SUNY Cobleskill when she disappeared after a night out on November 2, 1974. A Ronkonkoma native and only child who loved animals and studied horses, she was last seen walking alone at about 1:30 a.m., apparently heading toward the campus about a mile away. A witness later reported seeing a young woman get into a yellow Volkswagen Beetle, but that identification was never confirmed.

Her body was found on Thanksgiving Day, November 28, 1974, on a low rock wall in a field in Richmondville. She had been stabbed seven times with two different knives; her red coat was partly covering her and she was naked from the waist down. Investigators have interviewed thousands of people and examined several suspects over the decades, including Ted Bundy, Lewis Lent, Donald Sigsbee, and John William Hopkins, but none have been linked to the killing and no arrests have been made. The New York State Police keep the case open.

Did anyone on campus or in Cobleskill in November 1974 see Katherine that night or remember a yellow Volkswagen Beetle in the area?
