Summary
What happened, as the record shows.
Lucinda Strange, 39, was found dead within 200 feet of her home on Clarktown Road in Bardstown, Kentucky, on March 25, 1990 after leaving for her regular evening walk. First thought to be a hit-and-run, the coroner ruled she had been stabbed multiple times. Her husband was investigated early in the case. No charges were ever filed, and Kentucky State Police say tips have dried up.
