Nancy Gail Russell was 23 when her body was found in Jefferson County, Texas, on November 19, 1990. She had been strangled and was discovered with her hands tied behind her back with shoelaces, facts that led authorities to classify the death as a homicide.

Investigators did not find DNA evidence at the scene, a limitation that has hindered progress and contributed to the case becoming cold. Jefferson County authorities have continued to review the file and have appealed for new information or leads that could help resolve the murder.

Does anyone who lived in Jefferson County in 1990 or knew Nancy have information that could help investigators?
