The Murder of Linda Rayner (Connecticut)

When Linda Rayner left for a walk in Hammonasset Beach State Park in the summer of 1992, she was seeking the beauty and peace that only the ocean can bring. Instead, she was brutally attacked by an unknown assailant and her case has remained unsolved ever since.

In the thirty-plus years since her death, investigators have identified at least one suspect… But her loved ones are still waiting for the day that they have all the answers.
