On February 24th, 1976 Michelle Mitchell’s car broke down in Washoe, Nevada. She called her mother for a ride, but when she arrived at the scene, minutes later, Michelle was nowhere in sight. Two hours later, Michelle was found stabbed to death in a garage across the street from the University of Nevada. Her car keys were missing and the only evidence found was a cigarette butt near the body. Witnesses claimed to have seen a man fleeing from the area, but the murder remained unsolved for three years.
