Someone strangled Holstead in August 1986, leaving her lifeless body in a marsh in a northwest side industrial park. Her killer has never been made to answer for the crime. Her slaying labeled Green Bay Police Department case 14-47 is the longest-running homicide investigation in Brown County, the Green Bay Press-Gazette reported.
The Green Bay woman was 22 years old on the last day she was seen alive, bolting from her boyfriends car at a west side intersection during an argument. She may have met someone at a bar along the way; may have caught a ride from a stranger. Her boyfriend said she never made it to their west side apartment.
Authorities believe she was killed and then her body was brought to the marsh. The murder weapon, investigators say, was a piece of her own clothing.
This was a brutal homicide, and it bothers me that its still unsolved, said Brad Linzmeier, the Green Bay detective who became the lead investigator on the case after Haglund retired. Her family and friends should know that we have not forgotten.
Holstead Cold Case Revisited
Police say evidence found on Holstead could not be directly linked to her boyfriend. As time went on investigators continued interviewing friends, family and those close to her to find out more about Holstead.
"I think, in my experience in most homicides, people who know things and for whatever reason, whether they're involved or not, they are reluctant to be truthful...and I think in this case there was a lot of untruthfulness," Runge said.
