Still no solution to the murder of Betsy Aardsma.
But David Dekok has a very comprehensive rundown, not just of the murder, but of her life.
Betsy Aardsma's friends and teachers said she was among the best America had to offer in the late 1960s.
Artistic and poetic, imbued with liberal ideals and empathy for the underprivileged, she planned to join the Peace Corps after graduating with honors from the University of Michigan in 1969.
But her boyfriend, David L. Wright, wouldn't promise to wait for her, so she dropped those plans and followed him to central Pennsylvania.
Wright began classes at the Penn State College of Medicine in Hershey, while Aardsma enrolled in the graduate English program at Penn State's main campus, taking the bus to Harrisburg on weekends.
She perished in one of the bloodier years of the 1960s, when the Manson family and the Zodiac killer were attacking in California and an unknown serial killer was murdering women around the University of Michigan.
Aardsma's family were relieved she was leaving Ann Arbor. They thought State College would be safe.
Instead, they were about to enter a nightmare that has lasted four decades.
