Belinda Jo Stark was 30 and lived in Fall River Mills, California when she was murdered on June 26, 1987. The case was later tied to Robert Edward Maury, who was convicted in connection with Stark’s death and with the murders of Averill Weeden and Dawn Berryhill. Maury’s reported method was strangulation with a bootlace, a detail noted in Stark’s case.

Investigators traced a pattern of anonymous calls to a Secret Witness hotline that provided tips about victims’ locations; Maury made multiple calls and even collected reward money, which helped lead to his arrest in 1987. Maury’s 2003 appeal claiming promised confidentiality from the tip line was rejected by the California Supreme Court.

Did anyone in or around Fall River Mills at the time have information about Belinda’s last known movements or anyone who might have seen her on June 26, 1987?
