Linda Marie Maybin, 34, was found dead in Spokane, Washington, on April 1, 1998. Known locally as Barefoot Linda because she often went without shoes, her remains were discovered in a brushy area in the 4800 block of East 14th Avenue. An autopsy determined she died from a single gunshot wound to the head. She had been missing since November 22, 1997.

Maybin’s death echoed two earlier discoveries in the area the previous December. Investigators noted similarities with other victims who had ties to prostitution and drugs, and a disturbing signature: plastic grocery bags placed over the victims’ heads. Maybin was found with two bags covering her head, a detail that contributed to concern about a possible serial offender in Spokane.

Does anyone have information about Maybin’s movements after November 22, 1997, or recall seeing her in the Spokane area before she was reported missing?
