Ten-year-old Rhiannon Rosie Gordon disappeared while riding her bicycle home from a friend’s house in Burke, Virginia, on the evening of July 2, 1989. Her bicycle was found abandoned on Lake Braddock Drive and, after an extensive search, her body was located on July 4 in woods near Bentonbrook Drive and Edenderry Drive. The medical determination was death by asphyxiation.

Detectives learned that Rosie and her friend had been followed by a man in a blue car just before she vanished; other witnesses also reported seeing a similar vehicle in the area. Fairfax County police named Randall Breer as the prime suspect about a month later, but he had an alibi placing him at a company party in another county at the time and was never charged. Investigators briefly examined another man who had allegedly confessed to killing a different girl, but no connection to Rosie’s case was established.

The murder remains unsolved. Did anyone in the Lake Braddock area in July 1989 see a blue car or other unusual activity that night?
