Deborah Sheppard was a 23-year-old marketing major at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, Illinois. She was two weeks away from graduating when she was murdered on April 8, 1982. A friend discovered her body in her apartment; authorities determined she had been sexually assaulted and strangled to death.
For years the case remained unsolved. Investigators later linked the crime to Timothy Krajcir through forensic evidence; reports say Krajcir confessed to killing Sheppard along with other women and had a pattern of stalking, breaking into homes and attacking victims who returned. His confession reportedly helped solve several cold cases and brought closure to families.
Does anyone who knew Deborah at Southern Illinois University or lived near her apartment in 1982 have memories or information that could shed more light on her last days?
