***TRIGGER WARNING*** Mention of sexual assault Kristin O’Connell met a boy at spring break in 1985 and went to visit him in August that same year. During a party he had, she left for a walk late one night in 1985, only later to be discovered to have been murdered. This is a cold case that has baffled many in Ovid, New York and in her hometown of Burnsville, Minnesota for many years, perpetuating hear say and speculation. With as much gossip surrounding the case, it still has not been solved nor are there any official suspects to this day.  SOURCES Special thanks to Jolynn Rice, Tom “Arghie” McAnulty, and Sonya Coen with your help - whether with research, writing or suggestion. https://uncovered.com/cases/kristin-oconnell https://www.facebook.com/groups/867498316659849/?ref=share https://www.facebook.com/NYHomicideVictimsRightsAct/ https://www.change.org/p/the-victim-s-family-demands-dna-testing-by-a-new-lab-in-the-kristin-o-connell-unsolved-murder https://www.foxnews.com/us/kristin-oconnell-homicide-1980s-advance-cold-case https://13wham.com/news/local/new-york-state-police-reject-outside-help-with-finger-lakes-cold-case-homicide https://www.fltimes.com/news/police-seek-help-on-cold-case/article_a06c7172-7f09-548c-9338-6c12a71f63e8.html https://www.cnycentral.com/news/local/new-york-state-police-reject-outside-help-with-finger-lakes-cold-case-homicide Identify the anonymous callers voice - state police (585) 398-4123 or the sheriff’s department at 220-3250. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crimepedia/id1478820196?i=1000532265795 www.change.org/justice4kristin AUDIO: https://youtu.be/WyiQnKhfWbo https://youtu.be/cG6lq4Pvu5c https://youtu.be/b3sethcmKRs https://youtu.be/B85m2B9yiTw https://youtu.be/Wb_tAP6m268  https://youtu.be/LLhC9VvgY1o Learn more about your ad choices.
