Yolanda Sweeney was 21 when her body was found on June 13, 1983, in a backyard on Greenwood Avenue in Louisville, Kentucky. She had been shot in the head, was found partially naked, and her purse was missing. Sweeney worked for the National Processing Company and had last been seen leaving a nightclub called Mr. D’s Inferno with an unidentified man.

Police linked Sweeney’s killing to another downtown slaying after noting similarities with the July 7 death of 22-year-old Deborah Miles, who had also been shot in the head. Investigation focused on 25-year-old Larry Lamont White after ballistics matched a .38 caliber Smith & Wesson revolver he had pawned to the bullets in the killings, and clothing of his reportedly bore blood identified as Sweeney’s. White had a prior sexual assault conviction and was arrested on August 9, 1983, later confessing to both murders at trial.

If anyone knew Yolanda, saw her the night she left the club, or has information about Greenwood Avenue in June 1983, please share what is known.
