Dorothy Townsend, 44, was found dead at her workplace, a concessions stand on the 2500 block of Jefferson Davis Highway in Arlington, Virginia, on January 21, 1975. She had failed to return to her shift and was discovered to have been asphyxiated. Townsend was a Staff Sergeant in the United States Army.

Police identified a suspect at the time but made no arrest. The man was described as a Black male about 20 to 25 years old, 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall, medium-to-slight build, medium-to-light complexion, no facial hair except sideburns down to the bottom of his ears. He wore a white knit hat, white shirt-jacket, brown vinyl hip-length coat, and red shoes with white stitching.

The Arlington County Police Department lists the case as unsolved. Does anyone have information about Dorothy Townsend, her last shift, or the described man seen near the concessions stand?
