On the evening of August 10, 2004, Yolanda Bindics, a 25 year old mother of four, worked the closing shift at the Family Dollar in Jamestown, New York. After closing the store, Yolanda spoke to her brother on the phone, and said she’d stop by his place within an hour. But she never showed up, and no one saw Yolanda alive again. 

Just over two years later, Yolanda’s skeletal remains were found in a wooded area around 16 miles from Jamestown. It was determined that she had been murdered. It’s been 19 years since Yolanda disappeared, and investigators are still searching for her killer…

Anyone with information is asked to call the Unsolved Crimes Unit at (716) 753-4578 or (716) 753-4579. There is still a $21,000 reward available. 

If you don’t have any tips, but would still like to support the Bindics family, you can share Yolanda’s reward poster, and join their Facebook group, which is called “Justice for Yolanda Bindics”.
