On the evening of August 20, 2000, Linda Watson vanished from her home and has never been seen again. Her mother, Marilyn Cox, never gave up the search for her missing daughter until May 7, 2003. It was on that night, Marilyn Cox and her friend Renee Farnsworth were gunned down as they were exiting Marilyn’s car upon returning home.
The remains of Linda Watson have been located. The Office of the Medical Examiner has confirmed that this is a homicide case.
Although there were clues discovered in 2000 and 2003, in recent months developments have occurred that have moved these cases to the forefront of the Cold Case Homicide Unit’s investigative efforts.
Investigators are currently proceeding with further efforts to re-address this case and are hoping to develop additional leads. To that end, investigators are asking that anyone who may have information regarding the homicide call 911 or 88-CRIME (882-7463).
