Leanne Nichols, 38, was murdered at work on December 30, 1994, in Brookline, Massachusetts. Nichols, a White/Caucasian woman employed as a receptionist at the Preterm Health Services clinic, was shot at point-blank range after a gunman who had already attacked a nearby Planned Parenthood entered and asked if he was at Preterm. She was struck at least five times and later died of her wounds. The attacker then fired further, wounding a security guard and another employee before fleeing.

Investigators identified 22-year-old John C. Salvi III as the suspect; a duffle bag left at the scene contained a firearm, ammunition, and a gun dealer receipt. Salvi had earlier killed another receptionist and wounded others at a Planned Parenthood, and he was later arrested after firing at a clinic in Virginia. Salvi was tried, convicted of two counts of murder and multiple counts of armed assault with intent to murder, and received life without parole. Did anyone who knew Leanne or worked at the clinic in 1994 see or hear anything that could add detail about that day?
