Melissa Montz Graduate student and instructor in Geology at LSU. Went on her regular morning run in the fall of 1985, never came home.
Her horrible story has always stayed with me, too. After Derrick Todd Lee was arrested, I wondered if she was an early victim of his and the case would at least be solved. But he apparently refused to cooperate to close any cases, so...
The chilling thing at the time was a quote from a detective working on the case. A reporter asked if there were any suspects, and the cop basically said that she ran alone along the levee, someone who went by there frequently-- maybe someone who worked at a plant down the river-- must have noticed her routine and committed a crime of "opportunity".
That was the first time it sunk in to me that there were people who had otherwise ordinary lives and responsible jobs who could do something like that.
I guess up until that time in my safe, highly-mistaken, little view of the world, people who tortured and murdered strangers all looked and lived like the Manson family and were easy to spot and avoid or at least find and arrest.

Unsolved murders of LSU grad student Melissa Jean Montz (1985), recent LSU alum Laurie Kay Samson (1986), and LSU undergrad Kassie Lynne Federer (1999).
Unsolved disappearance of LSU undergrad Eleanor Celeste Parker (1981).
At one point the coroner and city police apparently wouldn't make any statements contrary to the idea that in 2000 Robin Ann Gremillion...went skinny-dipping…in public...by herself…in the middle of a foggy night...in the middle of winter...in nasty City Park Lake...and then accidentally drowned...in only 2.5 feet of water. Since there was no reported clothing or vehicle on the shoreline, she would have had to walk naked quite a distance from her place of domicile without anyone noticing. Apparently, the police don’t really see any red flags here, and the main reason that the police even opened a file for her case is because her body was unidentified for a week until her roommate filed a missing persons report on her.

I always remember her when these threads appear. When you read the little that is publicly known, you realize that there are probably at least 5-10 folks in the elderly black community that saw something. There are probably at least another 50 let that discussed it with the people that saw something. I am guessing that people saw something around where her car was found.

Steve Krentel and his brother probably pulled off the perfect crime. The fire was so hot that there was literally NO evidence left.
Meanwhile Randy Smith goes around arresting outside investigators who question him and the " investigation"

This is not a famous murder, it happened at a house on Toledo Bend lake. A retired elderly couple were shot in their home, the wife was shot in the back of the head and her husband was shot in the neck, he survived. He claimed he was in his man cave watching tv and his wife was in the kitchen cleaning up. He heard a loud noise and went into the living room to see what it was. There was a man at the door pointing a rifle at him and shot him, barely missing an artery in his neck. He went back into his man cave and retrieved his pistol waiting on the intruder to chase him in the room but he never did. While waiting he called 911. He went back into the living room to find that the intruder was gone and his wife was dead on the kitchen floor.
We were really good friends with them and they were really good people. We helped one another all the time and fished together a lot. But there was a lot speculation that he shot her and then himself but there was no evidence of it. He remarried with in months after his wife's death and never acted the same, he sold their place on the lake and moved to Colorado. A few years later he took his own life but I never heard why. Her killer has never been found.
I know this an old post, but can you say what part of the lake this was on? Since you mention “parish”, I’m guessing it’s the Louisiana side. My parents are retired and spend a lot of time out there, so this kinda creeps me out.

LINK Mysterious Historical Cases
This is a YouTube video outlining three mysterious historical cases involving children. The case of the green children of Woolpit in England, the case of Kaspar Hauser in Germany, a case involving a little girl in France. The cases are all interesting, especially that of Kaspar Hauser, who has a statue erected to his memory in Germany.

EWE's niece and a Pi Phi. Last seen at her parents' house loading up things to take to her apartment. Never showed up to her job and has never been heard from again. A little bit about the case here LINK. It refers to her apartment being on Gardere but don't read anything into that. At the time those were upscale student apartments, unlike what Gardere is now.
Derrick Todd Lee was 13 at the time, so unlikely to be him. Sean Gillis would have been 20, so he's a possibility. There was even speculation about a mob hit as a message to her uncle, but that seems far fetched.

As a serial killer, he was obviously a very bad person, but he was also a very honest bad person and would have admitted to this disappearance. He always maintained that his first murder was that very sloppy job at St. James Place retirement home where he panicked and slashed up that old lady a bunch of times. He was much more fine-tuned once he got that very first murder under his belt.

Well, he wasn't even governor at the time - although he did famously open his 1983 election campaign headquarters like the day after his second term ended in 1980, so he was definitely still in the game to an extent.
