Cold case spotlight 21-year old diane schofield's badly decomposed body was found on july 10, 1975 in the trunk of her 1966 amc rambler in a parking lot near the des moines airport. Her wrists and ankles were bound and she had been strangled with a strip of knotted cloth. Robbery does not appear to have been the motive as she was found with her watch and jewelry still on. Ms. Schofield was last seen by a close friend around 9:30pm on july 4, 1975, although there have been some witnesses that reported seeing her a few days later. Confusion surrounding the time and location of the death have made it difficult for investigators. Though police have admitted to having a suspect in the case, no arrest has ever been made.
