Details of Disappearance
Linda Singh, a homemaker and a mother of two, was last seen in Victoria, Texas on April 9, 1984. She is believed to have been last seen by her husband, Gurkirat Singh, in the morning of April 9. Singh told police he dropped his wife off at the Trailways Bus Station at East Rio Grande, to catch a bus to Houston. She was to catch a flight to visit relatives in Kansas City, Missouri. She never showed up. Her relatives did not expect her.
A lawyer, representing Linda Singh in her divorce proceedings, reported her as missing four days later. Nobody on the bus she was supposedly on recognized her photo. She never picked up a ticket in Houston and was not on the flight that day.
Singh had no apparent reason to disappear, and foul play is possible.

Here's the newspaper article talking about the 10 year anniversary of her disappearance: https://news.google.com/newspapers?...AIBAJ&sjid=E0sDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6413,4922130&hl=en

She is far older than Princess Blue... She was 37 when she went missing, back in 1984. Princess Blues age range is 15-19 and she was found in 1990, ~1 yr after she went missing according to NamUs. Plus, Linda gave birth twice.
 
I'm getting a permission error on Linda's NamUs profile but can't find any MSM. Did she turn up alive? Or were remains found?

Maybe it was just pulled down by the LE agency involved for some other technical reason? That's happened before.

Details of Disappearance
Singh disappeared from Victoria, Texas on April 9, 1984. Nineteen days later, her body was found in Harris County, Texas, but it was not unidentified at the time. It wasn't until June 2017 that DNA from Singh's family was matched to the unidentified remains. Her death is being investigated as a homicide.
 
DNA leads Victoria police to reopen 34-year-old cold case

Victoria Police Department detective Amy Grothe thumbed through a cabinet while detective Melissa Rendon sat on the floor as they pored through file after file in search of answers.

When they found a 34-year-old photo, a new question emerged.

“We were digging through files, and a picture just fell out,” Rendon said. “It immediately caught our attention.”

The photo was of Linda Mae Singh, a 37-year-old woman who went missing April 4, 1984.

DNA matched Singh’s identity to a body that was found in Harris County by a passerby 19 days after she disappeared, Grothe said. Her body had been buried in an unmarked pauper’s grave in Houston for 34 years.

When she disappeared, there was not a match, she said. However, the detectives submitted a new sample from a family member in June 2017 and found a match to the Jane Doe body buried in Houston in 1984
