On June 2, 1980, 17-year-old Roseanne Robinson was hitchhiking home from a family visit after recently moving to Providence, Rhode Island. Described by her sisters as a free spirit, she accepted several rides along I-95 North and was dropped under the Route 152 overpass in Attleboro, Massachusetts, during a heavy rainstorm. Witnesses who had given her a lift saw another car, possibly a Pinto, stop and pick her up; that was the last reported sighting of Roseanne alive.

Her body was found the next day, June 3, 1980, in brush behind the Lincoln Mall on Albion Road in Lincoln, Rhode Island. She was naked and had been strangled; her body was dry, indicating she was likely killed elsewhere and dumped shortly before discovery. She had fought back and DNA was recovered from beneath her fingernails, but that evidence has not matched anyone in existing databases. The men who last gave her a ride were interviewed and one underwent hypnosis, yet no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced.

Does anyone remember seeing Roseanne that night or the car described as possibly a Pinto?
