📰 College student’s unsolved murder shines spotlight on serial killer as new theories emerge
Kristin Noel David, a 22-year-old University of Idaho senior, disappeared in 1981 while biking along a quiet Idaho highway and was later found dismembered in the Snake River. Questions persist about whether she was a victim of a serial killer. Witnesses reported seeing a man in a brown van approaching a woman matching David’s description before her disappearance. Her remains were wrapped in newspaper pages and found in plastic bags in the river. The case was revisited in a 2025 podcast episode, highlighting the unique newspaper wrapping. The FBI bulletin describes a suspect fitting a specific description seen interacting with other female cyclists on the same day as David’s disappearance.
The case is linked to the unsolved Lewis–Clark Valley murders, but Kristin’s killing stands out due to the distinctive disposal method. Investigators are urged to look for consistent signatures to connect her murder to the other cases in the region. Modern DNA technology offers hope for solving cold cases like Kristin’s, with the potential to uncover new evidence or prompt witnesses to come forward. Despite the passage of 40 years, the FBI continues to seek information from the public to help solve the case. The FBI Salt Lake City has emphasized that Kristin’s murder is not considered a cold case and urges anyone with information to come forward.
