Hi everyone, I just noticed the thread. I am a family friend and Private Investigator trying to help resolve this case. Anna was murdered by strangulation. She was also raped. I appreciate you all putting in such an effort. We will need the help. Annas case was recently featured on the Catch My Killer Podcast. Please give it a listen and tell us your thoughts.Episode 103: Anna Marie Mullin

Thank you for all of the work. Love to chat
Just a few thoughts off the top:
Boyfriend shows up with scratches? Where was he all night? Did they live together? Suppose she showed up at 6AM after spending time alone with Toni/Tomi? Was bf type that would explode?
Was a time of death established? Understand it's a small window, but might be interesting -- if she spent time ONLY with Toni/Tomi it could have been all over by 3 (any ideas on where he was staying / local motel registries checked?).
Any REAL pool hall can probably tell you what a Jersey Rack is (heard the term, but it's been 50 years!).
I AM NOT AN EXPERT -- just interested....

Perhaps Toni is short for Antonio. I’m sure he probably paid in cash so likely no credit card receipt.
What was he driving? Car? Truck?

@Foxy33 Have you considered the possibility of a link to the Redhead Murders?
Redhead murders - Wikipedia
The Unsolved Mystery Of The Redhead Serial Murders
Key features:
Anna Marie fits that profile quite closely. I'm not saying she was a sex worker, but a young woman turning up to a bar with no money who was willing to leave with a stranger might have been mistaken for one (and actually might have been one tbh, we can't be sure). And while the headline info is that she was left on the steps of a church, that church is only two blocks from I-95 (St Clements is at N Andrews, just south of E Oakland Pk Blvd), so leaving her there could well be the last thing her murderer did before before jumping on the interstate, though its public nature is an oddity and suggests interrupted plans perhaps.
One of the 'Redhead' victims survived and an individual was arrested back in the 80s for kidnapping and assault. That man - Jerry Leon Johns, a trucker from Tennessee - has quite recently been linked by DNA with the previously unsolved 'redhead murder' of Tina Farmer although he died himself in 2015, so sadly is beyond the reach of justice. (I didn't know any of this when I started typing this post so it feels like an exciting development!)
I'm having difficulty opening links related to him from this side of the pond, for legal reasons, but this covers the basics:
Suspect named in 'Redhead Murders' Campbell County cold case
I've also attached an old pic of him below - what do you think? He's not unlike the artist's impression on your fb page (but a 1980s moustache will do that, lol). The victim who survived was picked up at a bar and went voluntarily to a motel room, where she was attacked at gunpoint. He used a ligature to strangle both her and Tina Farmer. Does that have resonance with Anna Marie's death?
I know the police file is missing, but could there still be any forensic evidence in existence? There's clearly a reference DNA sample for this man so a comparison could be interesting.

The Unsolved Mystery Of The Redhead Serial Murders
Key features:
- 6-11 unsolved homicides between 1978 and 1992
- cause of death mostly strangulation or suffocation
- victims all redheads (inc. auburn, strawberry blonde etc)
- victims raped/sexually assaulted
- most victims in their 20s
- victims may have been engaged in sex work; most had had sex around the time of death
- victims lacked stable families (some remain UID as a result) and were often far from their home area
- bodies were found at a wide variety of locations in the Eastern states but all the deposition sites were close to major highways

How about an update?
Sorry, Im knee deep in this. Thus far no evidence or reports have been located. The Police Department has "no idea" where it went. An investigative Reporter in South Florida is currently investigating the departments handling of the case. Anyone who knows an WILTON MANORS Police Officers past or present please reach out. It is going to take a WMPD officer with integrity to shed some light on what gross misconduct occurred that resulted in this miscarriage of justice.
Thanks for the feedback.
