Sandra Kay Beddow, 19, was found dead on April 27, 1975, lying face-down and nude in Rowlett Creek near Plano, Texas. Her body showed signs that investigators at the time considered consistent with foul play; she had been reported missing shortly before the discovery.

The investigation stalled quickly: police were unable to identify suspects or witnesses, and the case became cold. Limitations in 1970s forensic methods are noted as a factor that complicated the inquiry. The case remains open and unsolved, and local law enforcement and the community have kept Sandra’s memory alive while hoping renewed attention or forensic advances might produce leads.

Anyone who has information about Sandra Beddow’s disappearance or death is asked to contact the authorities; even the smallest detail could help bring answers.
