A man suspected of strangling a suburban Chicago teen in 1976 may have killed as many as a dozen girls. 9News
One was Pamela Maurer, the 16-year-old whose body was found next to a road in Lisle in 1976. Because she was found within hours of her death, DNA evidence remained on her body that investigators used — eventually — to link her death to Lindahl, whose body was exhumed last year. Lindahl tried to make it appear that Maurer had been hit by a car, police said.
