Carole E. Phillips, a 33-year-old professional roller derby skater, was murdered on December 24, 1974, in Lake View Terrace, California. Her roommate, 34-year-old Maida Sue Ellington, paid a known criminal, Robert Leroy Biehler, to kill Phillips because Ellington feared Phillips would expose her illicit activities.

Phillips had survived an earlier attack in October 1974 when Biehler, disguised as a plumber, entered the shared apartment and shot her four times in the head. Ellington then arranged and paid for a second attack. On December 24, 1974, Biehler confronted Phillips outside a North Hollywood bar and shot her multiple times in the face, which resulted in her death.

Ellington was arrested on conspiracy to commit murder charges, convicted, and sentenced to life at the California Institution for Women. Biehler was arrested on December 12, 1975, later convicted on four counts of first-degree murder and given four consecutive life sentences; he died of cancer in 1993 while serving his sentence.

Did anyone who knew Carole or saw her in North Hollywood in late 1974 come forward with information about the attacks or the people involved?
