A Girl Is Killed And No One Notices
A woman dies at her desk while at work and no one notices until after the weekend is over.
On November 28, 1969, Betsy Aardsma told people she was going to the university’s library to research a paper, but what she got instead was a single, deadly stab wound to the chest. While librarians tend to discourage cold-blooded murder in the stacks, most would have approved of how silently the crime was carried out: Despite numerous other students being only feet away from the crime scene, nobody heard any sound of a struggle. Betsy wasn’t discovered until several minutes later, and initially, nobody realized what had happened to her because her red dress camouflaged any blood stains. The police still have no idea who killed her.
