The decadeslong search started on May 30, 1974, when Connecticut State Police said they found two victims fatally shot in a wooded area.
Half a century after a murdered woman's bones were found in a shallow grave in Connecticut, DNA testing identified the previously unknown female.Her name was Linda Sue Childers, and investigators said she was from Louisville, Kentucky, before she ended up murdered in a ditch thousands of miles away from her daughter and family.
Investigators said they had trouble verifying her identity, in part because she had used various alibis, including the name Lorraine Stahl, a resident who had moved from the area months earlier. Police did find clothes with her remains, including a tan leather 'wet look' vest, a gold or tan sweater, a brown tweed skirt and a pair of brown Grannie boots, according to DNA solves. She also was wearing a pendant and rings with the letters J.H.S.N. monogrammed, the initials I.L.N.
