"On December 28th, 1978 18 year old Margerit Lynn Baron, known to her friends and family as “Lynn”, was reported missing by her employer. She worked at Vito Scargetti’s Restaurant at 509 Duval Street in Key West. According to witnesses, a co-worker and friend named “Darlene” was the last one to see her when she dropped her off at home at 1 a.m. after a shift at work. At the time of her disappearance, she was reportedly living on Big Coppitt Key, on 4th Street. When she disappeared, she left all of her belongings at her residence. Her body – skeletal remains – was found March 4th, 1979 in a wooded area on Sugarloaf Key, just off of Loop Road. She was identified by dental records. The cause of her death remains unknown. Lynn was 5’5” tall, weighed 118 pounds, had brown hair and brown eyes and usually wore glasses. She came to Key West from New Jersey with a friend named “Susan” in November of 1978.
