For nearly 50 years, no one knew what happened to Teree Becker.

She was last seen Dec. 4, 1975, hitchhiking to see her boyfriend in Brighton, Colorado. Two days later, her body was found dumped in a field outside Denver.

Two passing motorcyclists discovered Becker in the area of 100th Avenue and Lowell Boulevard in Westminster, about 10 miles north of Denver, along with her clothes and personal items.

From the above linked article:

Thomas Elliott, who routinely spent time in and out of the prison system for various crimes before taking his own life in 1991, was identified as the murderer of 20-year-old Teree Becker, who had moved to the Denver area from Casper, Wyoming, shortly after graduating high school…

Based on his criminal history (multiple rapist) this guy was a blight on humanity and the world is richer without him in it
