KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. — The remains of a young woman murdered more than 30 years ago by the man known as the I-5 Strangler are coming home to Klamath County.
A piece of bone found near Lake Berryessa in California last summer is all that investigators have found of Lou Ellen Burleigh.
Her cousin, Sharon Havlina, tells the Herald and News newspaper that the remains will be laid to rest in Klamath County, where Burleigh was born and lived until she was 6, when her father took a job in California.
Roger Reece Kibbe was serving time for one murder when he pleaded guilty to six others along Interstate 5.
Burleigh was 21 and living in Walnut Creek, Calif., when she disappeared in 1977 after answering an ad for a secretarial job.
