Sheila Etheridge was 29 when she was found dead in her Bishop Avenue apartment in Bridgeport on June 28, 1993. Her father and a friend discovered her after not hearing from her for several days. The scene showed signs of a violent struggle, and an autopsy indicated she had likely been sexually assaulted. Investigators recovered a beer can from the scene that later yielded male DNA.

Cold case work more than a decade later linked that DNA, and DNA from other Bridgeport crime scenes, to Emanuel Lovell Webb. Webb was already incarcerated in Georgia by the time he was identified; he was extradited to Connecticut in 2007 and charged in the killings of four women, including Etheridge. He pleaded no contest to three murders and was sentenced in 2008; the charge in Etheridge’s case was dropped, but her case was closed based on the DNA evidence.

Does anyone have memories of Bishop Avenue or knew Sheila and can share information that might still matter?
