Episode 72: Kimberly Louiselle

Kimberly Louiselle was last seen on March 20, 1982. After meeting with her boyfriend, he broke up with her. Unfortunately, Kimberly didn’t have a way home. Her boyfriend went to work and left her at his house. She would end up at a payphone trying to call a few friends for a ride home. When she didn’t come home on the 20th, her parents reported her missing the next day.

Her body was found a little over three weeks later in a field that was within ten miles of her home. Kimberly was nude. Someone had beaten her, savagely raped her and then strangled her. It’s believed that her body had been dumped their within several days of being located. This meant is what likely that someone held her hostage for possibly the past three weeks.

What’s even more disturbing is that there were two other young women who were also murdered around the same time as Kimberly. They were identified as Anna Marie Doroghazi and Christina Lynn Castiglione. All three homicides remain unsolved. It’s unknown if the killings are related. Law enforcement believes it possible a serial killer killed the young women.

I spoke to Cindy Arthurs who discusses the death of her older sister Kimberly Louiselle and Detective Angela Hunt of the Michigan State Police. It’s been nearly 40 years since Kimberly was raped and murdered. She said there was DNA but was too disintegrated to use. However, she said there was DNA recovered from Christina Castiglione. Cindy said authorities haven’t matched the DNA to anyone. IF the murders of Christina and Kimberly are related, identifying Christina’s killer could lead to the person who killed Kimberly. Do you know what happened to Kimberly Louiselle? If you do, please contact Detective Angela Hunt of the Michigan State police at 810-227-1051.
