DEBORAH LYNN MCCONNELL
SUMMARY
Deborah Lynn McConnell is believed to have been the third victim of the New Bedford Highway Serial Killer and was the only known Rhode Island resident.
The 25-year-old lived in Newport, RI. She was last seen by her father in May 1988, after she buried her mother at a local cemetery. Deborah was found by a cadaver canine conducting a search on December 1, 1988, off Route 140 northbound in Freetown, MA. The young mother was nude, with a bra twisted around her neck.
It took investigators until March 1989 to identify Deborah’s remains — seven months after she was last seen —because of the degree of decomposition.
Aside from her daughter, Deborah left behind her father, a brother, and two sisters. She is buried in Middletown Cemetery in Middletown, RI.
