Kathleen Keohane was 17 when she was killed on September 3, 1976, in South Lake Tahoe, California. She had moved to Tahoe that June to start her senior year and was staying with friends and her fiancé, Mike Warren. After dining with Warren at Carrows Restaurant, Kathleen said she would take a walk and return to meet him at the end of his shift; she never appeared and Warren reported her missing at midnight.

A young boy found Kathleen’s body the next day in shallow water beneath the Truckee River Bridge. Her skull had been fractured by repeated blows from a heavy blunt object. She was fully clothed and her purse was in the water beside her; investigators thought she may have tried to crawl up the bank before losing consciousness.

Anyone who knew Kathleen, saw her that evening, or has information about the Truckee River Bridge area on September 3, 1976, is asked to come forward.
