MURDERED: Patricia Jauron

Subscribe to Cardinal Crimes on YouTube! On May 26, 1998, Patricia Jauron, a middle school secretary beloved by her community, was found brutally murdered outside of her old home in Sioux City, Iowa. Patricia had reportedly gone to her old home to meet someone interested in purchasing an old bed, that person, and the red car seen near her home, were never located. Decades later, this murder remains unsolved. Was this a random act of violence, or was the killer someone closer to home? SOURCES: Michele Linck, Police investigate woman’s death, The Sioux City Journal, May 27, 1998Maggie O’Brien, Woman found dead at rural home; investigators suspect homicide, The Des Moines Register, May 27, 1998Maggie O’Brien, Woman stabbed multiple times, autopsy shows, The Des Moines Register, May 28, 1998Michele Linck, Car sought in probe of murder, The Sioux City Journal, May 28, 1998Michele Linck, Investigation continues into woman’s slaying, The Sioux City Journal, May 29, 1998Patricia A.
