Fifteen-year-old Lisa Norrell disappeared on November 6, 1998, while walking home after a quinceañera rehearsal along the Pittsburg-Antioch Highway in Antioch, California. The highway is described as a desolate, industrial stretch with no sidewalks; Lisa’s mother reported her missing the next morning when she failed to return. Lisa’s body was found eight days later, on November 14, at a landscaping business along the highway. She had been strangled and her death was ruled a homicide.

Investigators questioned multiple suspects during the inquiry, including Garry Walton and David Heneby, but both were released due to insufficient evidence. The case prompted concern because several murders of women occurred in the Pittsburg area around the same time, prompting speculation about a possible serial offender, but no definitive link was established. Phillip Garrido was later examined as a potential suspect, yet no conclusive evidence connected him to Lisa’s murder. Lisa’s family and the community continue to seek justice for an unsolved killing.

If anyone knew Lisa, saw her that evening, or has information about activity along the Pittsburg-Antioch Highway in early November 1998, please come forward.
