I did an archive search for any older articles for Margaret but did not find anything.

What a pretty girl!
 
This is another missing persons case that could warrant a re-examination now that we have learned Rodney Alcala continued to murder women while on his summer 1977 road trip. Alcala left LA on July 2 and returned on August 15. We know he stopped at some point in Granger, WY, where Christine Ruth Thornton was found.

Here's a potential route given what we know:

It takes him right through Omaha, NE, where Margie Holst went missing the night of August 4.

It sounds like they know who the boy is that she went out with that night but I can't seem to find any other information.

Could this be Margaret?

Unidentified teen girl/woman found murdered in Everett, Washington (August 1977)


... "She was wearing a pastel, striped tank top, cut-off jean shorts and size seven blue Mr. Sneakers tennis shoes. A Timex watch with a yellow face was on her left wrist, the leather band fastened at the second-to-last notch. In the pockets of her shorts were 17 cents, a partial pack of Marlboros and an empty plastic bag.

She was brunette, tan and tall, maybe 5-feet, 10-inches. A forensic anthropologist later estimated she was between 15 and 21, likely 16 to 19.

The medical examiner dug seven bullets out of her head. Her killer would later tell detectives he wrapped a bungee cord around her neck when she turned down his advances. She urinated in the front seat of his car as he choked her. He dragged her out of the 1963 Chevy Nova and emptied his rifle into her.

David Marvin Roth, 20, left the young woman there among the blackberry brambles. He told police she was a hitchhiker he picked up on Aug. 9, 1977, on the Bothell-Everett Highway on the east side of Silver Lake. Roth claimed he never got her name, said she didn’t have a purse."...
