Kerry Ann Graham was 15 when she disappeared from Forestville, California, in December 1978 along with her friend Francine Trimble, 14. The two were last seen heading to a shopping mall in Santa Rosa. Skeletal remains were found July 8, 1979, near Highway 20 west of Willits, buried in a shallow grave and concealed inside duct-taped plastic bags; wildlife had disturbed the site.

Because the remains were so decomposed, the initial autopsy gave little forensic detail and one set was even misidentified as male. Investigators concluded the pair were homicide victims, likely killed elsewhere and moved to the remote site for disposal. A handmade shell earring found near Francine’s remains and the duct-taped concealment are among the few contextual clues. The victims’ identities were not confirmed until 2015 through new forensic analysis and DNA comparison. The case remains unsolved; motives and suspects are unknown.

Does anyone have information about Kerry or Francine from the late 1970s that could help investigators?
