Diana Richardson was 47 when she was last seen on October 11, 1995, in the Chapin Street area of St. Augustine, Florida. She was wearing blue jeans, a light-colored shirt, and white sneakers. Distinguishing features included a plastic replacement for her left cheekbone, a dental bridge from a prior accident, and scars on her left cheek and abdomen. She was involved in prostitution at the time and foul play was suspected early in the investigation.

In 1999 William Darrell Lindsey, a convicted serial killer already linked to other area murders, confessed to Richardson’s murder and said he disposed of her body in an alligator-infested pit near a local school. Her remains have never been recovered; despite searches no physical evidence has been found. Lindsey later pleaded guilty to Richardson’s murder and died in prison in 2015. The case is treated as a homicide but Richardson’s family says they have not received full closure.

If anyone knew Diana, her movements in St. Augustine in October 1995, or saw anything near Chapin Street that could help, please come forward.
