Laralee Spear was 15 when she was abducted and murdered on April 25, 1994, in DeLand, Volusia County, Florida. She was last seen getting off her school bus near Deerfoot Road and Spring Garden Avenue at about 3:15 p.m., a short distance from her family home. Her mother reported her missing around 4:05 p.m. and deputies found Laralee’s body by 5:35 p.m. near a burned-down house about a quarter-mile from her residence.

She had been shot and left at a site known as a gathering place for teenagers; investigators found evidence of target practice nearby. The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office, working with local detectives and the FBI, has continued to pursue leads and recently increased the reward for tips leading to an arrest to $100,000. Despite renewed outreach and a released video, the killer has not been identified and the case remains unsolved.

Can anyone who lived in DeLand in 1994 or who remembers that bus stop and the burned house share information that might help investigators?
