Seneca County Murder Still Unsolved After 40 Years

Police Blotter

She would have celebrated her 60th birthday Sunday.  Kristin O’Connell was just 20 years old when she was murdered in Seneca County.

Kristin was a college student from Burnsville, Minnesota. On August 12th, 1985, she came to the town of Ovid, to visit a friend she had met on Spring Break in Florida.

On the evening of August 14th, as she had done on previous evenings, Kristin went for a walk alone and did not return. On August 16th, her naked body was found in a cornfield in Ovid.

Despite having over 2,000 leads, it seems none of them have panned out since state police have never named a suspect in this case.
