Patricia Carol Patti Webb, 24, of Lincoln, Nebraska, disappeared from the Adult Book and Cinema Store in downtown Lincoln during the night of April 18, 1974. She had been working at the store; when she left she took 51 bondage-themed magazines, a calculator, and about $30. The store’s phone line had been cut and the door was left unlocked.

Her body was found under a haystack on a vacant farm east of Hallam on April 20. She was nude except for a quilted jacket, had tape over her mouth, and had been shot multiple times with .22- and .25-caliber bullets. Her purse was later found about a mile and a half from the scene. Witnesses reported seeing a young woman leave the store with a black man around 1 a.m., getting into a large older car described as boxy, like a Cadillac or Buick.

Investigators have explored robbery, sexual predator, and execution-related motives, and the case was reopened in 2018 for new leads, but no arrests have been announced. Did anyone in Lincoln or Hallam at the time remember seeing that car or have information about Patti Webb’s last night?
