On September 4, 1977, the body of 22-year-old Laura Collins was found dumped in Griffith Park, Los Angeles. She had been strangled to death and was discovered without identification, which complicated initial efforts to identify her. Her murder remains unsolved.

Early on investigators looked into a possible link with the Hillside Strangler cases because several women in Los Angeles were killed in a similar manner, but later inquiries found no evidence directly connecting Collins’ killing to Angelo Buono and Kenneth Bianchi. Collins was left near a spot where other victims had been placed by different perpetrators, and the concentration of violent incidents in the Griffith Park area during that period made distinguishing separate crimes difficult.

No arrests have ever been announced in her case. Did anyone in Los Angeles in 1977 have information about Collins, her movements, or anyone seen with her near Griffith Park?
